Title: Staying physically fit to match the survivalist mentality
Post by: 2aHawaii on March 04, 2010, 09:07:49 AM

Reading through my tweets this morning, I came across an article on the ITS Tactical website simply titled "Can You Physically Save Yourself?" (http://www.itstactical.com/2010/03/04/can-you-physically-save-yourself). It is actually a really good article to get survivalists a mindset that not all of us think about, being physically prepared.

On that note, do any of you do things to keep you physically prepared or have any suggestions on how we can stay physically fit enough to save ourselves? I have done p90x and thought that it was really good.

On a serious note, being physically fit does have it's merits. 

1)  Reduces chance of getting diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease etc.
2)  Reduces the use/dependence of medications.  Some insulin types needs to be refrigerated (blackout anyone?).
3)  Increases your chance of getting out of a burning/crumbling building, whether out the window, down the fire escape, etc.
4)  Help others get out or help rescue others trapped/buried.
5)  Does your bug out plan include a plan B of humping it home?  30 miles uphill both ways?

Thanks for the link.  :shaka:
