What's your single best survival advice?

[Sourdough]

Get a ton of survival info microfiched, keep it in the BoB, along with a 24x magnifyer. Photography shops sell such magnifyers, for checking out negatives.

Better yet is to live it, on a daily bases. What some call "Boots in the Field".

[your_comforting_company]

Self reliance.
The only thing you should assume is, no one's coming to help. Prepare accordingly.

I like that one best.

[y2k]

I've never assumed that, wouldn't think any would, if they come HERE.

[BENESSE]

y2k, you'll be amazed what people assume.
For example, they assume that anyone gives a flying flick about what they have to say when they haven't established any credibility by exercising common courtesy of introducing themselves.
And contrary to popular belief (your), almost everything that goes without saying actually needs to be said.

[y2k]

Anyone who can't be bothered to just look at the obvious facts, and instead cares about who the messenger was, is beyond help, anyway.

[BENESSE]

Then perhaps you need to run along and try to impress those who don't know better.

My best advice would be old school; keep a one year food supply on hand and money to cover 6 months expenses.

Actually, this paid off in spades when I got laid off and went back to school. We had quite a bit saved-up, so could live out of the pantry for awhile. Had to worry about the house payment after awhile, but good to know we had a bit before we would starve.

[y2k]

There's no reason to starve. Just stop making the house payment, for a month or two, and that will buy well over a year's supply of food. you can live in a van, or have a small pull trailer, put your stuff in a storage spot, etc. The house is MAIN drain of $, for nearly everyone, and it's bogus, in nearly every case.

[finallyME]

Stop and think about what you need to do. I guess pray goes along with this. Is that two?

[finallyME]

I guess my first. Stop and think.

What's your single best survival advice?

Keep breathing.

[Beans]

it even comes in fun, as my lady likes to try to sneak up on me, or hide waiting for me to come into a room for a laugh, any time i haven't got a tool in my hand.

I won't go there, I won't go there. I won't go there. I am realllly trying not to go there

[canid]

hahahaha. well; as long as you're not going there...

[randyt]

well here goes, mine is: prior planning prevents pi$$ poor performance.

there's an old saying and I don't know if it's true but it goes as such, 15 minutes of planning saves an hour later on.

[BENESSE]

Keep breathing.

Or save your breath...as the case may be.

[klickitat]

At any point in time, try to improve your situation in any way possible.

[LowKey]

Sorry if this isn't one thing but it is one of my favorite quotes:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects!

Honestly, I don’t know. But when the SHTF I’m sure we will figure it out. Until then I hope the good Lord lets me live long enough to learn as much as I can so I can pass that knowledge to my kids. I probably won’t make it but I would feel better knowing I gave them as much as I could.

[pete lynch]

Determine what direction the mob is heading and go the other way.

I'd say the single best forum survival advice is learn to use the search function....http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...urvival+advice

It's just to hard to give one piece of advice that trumps all the rest when survival could mean something different to everyone. I guess mine would be know your own limitations and keep "plan B" within what you know you are capable of doing.
