Death To Zombies

Today I’d like to talk about something that is a counter intuitive danger.

Through some event in your life you’ve decided that you should pay more attention to disasters and how to lessen their affects on your life.  Who wouldn’t want to do that?  But what I frequently see if someone who wants to protect their family from disaster at all levels that meets someone in their HAM radio club and they start hanging out more often.  Eventually they’re the club secretary and they’re at every radio meet.

Now there’s nothing wrong with having a hobby and getting deeply involved in it.  And there’s nothing wrong with making new friends and spending time with them.  But disaster preparedness is like anything else.  You’ll never achieve your goal if you don’t define your goal, be it a) live without help for 72 hours b) live without help for 2 weeks or c) live in a limited community of other survivalists for a few months, and then assign the tasks that will get you to your goal.

I don’t mean to talk crap about people and the relationships they build in clubs, but I’m asking you “What is the reason you got into fighting zombies” and are you allocating 90% of time to fighting zombies or are you spending 90% of your time in board meetings, on mailing lists debating theories or in some other way not actually producing effects.

Set your goals, define your tasks and perform them.  That is how we train to succeed!
