Episode-490- Establishing Local Resource Knowledge in Advance of Disaster [ 0:01 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadYou often hear in the Survivalist Community that local resources and in fact all resources will quickly come under pressure in a major disaster. While true there is also the old adage “the early bird gets the worm” along with the fact that “normalcy bias” will often keep competition low during early and even middle states of a major break down. Hence it makes a lot of sense to be knowledgeable and aware of your local resources now before any need of them arises.
