When most people think about a survival plan, they tend to think food and medical caches, personal bunkers, energy sources, communication equipment, and methods of self-protection as some of the core basic necessities. In truth your cache of supplies is useless if you can't get to them.
Most of us spend the majority of our time away from our homes, as such we likely will not be home when an event occurs. Do you know how you'll get home? Do you have the supplies readily available to support your travel to your home? Would you be able to find safe shelter if you can't get home? These are questions that you should be prepared to answer without much though. Yes some of these questions have simple answers, but how clearly will you be able provide solutions to these problems under duress?

Survival 101 - Intro
Last weekend my sister started talking about TEOTWAWKI. Though I don't particularly live in fear of doomsday and or heed doomsday predictions, it dawned on me that although I have some basic survival skills and knowledge, I would not be able to survive in a post-apocalypse or major crisis without receiving significant aid.
Thus the birth of "The Esteveban Files". In the beginning this blog will mostly be covering the 'Survival' and 'Preparedness' labels since that's a bit more important than rants and ravings and posts about food (unless we're talking freeze dried and preserving). Don't worry, I do have many of other non-gloomy topics to write about; just let me feel a bit more safe before actually getting there.
In the end, I think we can agree that it's best to be somewhat prepared, than not at all.
