Any SHTF Scenario or survival situation will have unique aspects that alter the order in which tasks need to be accomplished. It is useful to think in blocks of time.
Example:
The first 24 hours are crucial in any survival situation. You must make an initial assessment of your situation. Hostiles, weather, terrain, remaining daylight, and available resources will determine which tasks you need to accomplished first.
They should be the following:
- Shelter
- Fire
- Water
- Signaling
After the first 24 hours have passed, you will now know if you can survive. This time period needs to be spent on expanding your knowledge of the area.
By taking the following actions, you will be able to gain valuable knowledge.
- Tools and weapons.
By scouting a short distance from your shelter to locate the necessary resources, look for water, edible food sources, and game trails.
- Traps and snares.
As you move further away from your shelter to set traps and snares, you will be able to locate your shelter area from various vantage points. This will enable you to identify likely avenues of approach into your shelter area.
- OPSEC ( Operational Security )
Knowing the likely avenues of approaches of both man and animal, you can effectively place noise and casualty producing path guards to ensure the security of your shelter area.
For the remainder of your survival situation. This time is spent on continuously improving your survival situation until you are rescued.
