After 20 years of disaster preparedness—starting in the Army—I’ve learned the most critical asset isn’t food, gear, or gold. It’s your network.
I plan for nuclear war, because preparing for the worst-case scenario makes everything else manageable by comparison. It gives me psychological clarity and detachment when others panic. That’s why COVID didn’t shake us.
In a real disaster, most people don’t die from bombs or fallout—they die from despair and emotional collapse.
My goal is simple: ensure the survival of my wife and four children.
That requires more than supplies—it means building a resilient network in advance, where leadership, trust, and capability are already established.
True preparedness is relational.
And leadership in a crisis isn’t taken—it’s earned long before disaster strikes.
You're quite right and this is something I missed in the statements. Community and relationships. Something that should be established ahead of time. Also for their own merit - It's nice having friends a good relationships.
