You need to have all these skills now.

You aren't going to learn them when shit hits the fan. It doesn't matter if you have rehearsed it in your head.

I never realised how difficult it all was until someone said to me;

"As of the end of this sentence, you have sixty seconds to get out of your home. Do it."

You guys could try the same thing. Now.

Everything should come from your minute plan. From that, you can do a five minute plan, an hour plan, and then a week plan. Again: Unless you've practiced it, assume you can't do it.

I know a lot of people that buy loads of gear and think they're going to be living off the land, but probably couldn't get out of their house in time if it caught fire. If you had to get out of your house in the next minute, what would you do? What would you grab? Is it all in a bag ready to go?

Same thing - if you had to lock yourself in your house RIGHT NOW, could you barricade the doors with stuff you already have? How many weeks food do you have stored with you? What about water? Assume the taps and the power are going to go off suddenly.

So on and so forth.
