CERT Training Completed
I recently completed my Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. First some background and then an evaluation from a prepper perspective. CERT’s were formed in the wake of the September 11th attacks via executive order. The training agenda was adapted from material developed by the Los Angeles Fire Department in 1985. The Emergency Management Institute […]
Higher Standards
Survivalists/preppers have never been portrayed well in the modern media and entertainment fields. At best, they are portrayed in as a comical cliché like in the 1983 movie “The Survivors” (Walter Matthau, Robin Williams, Jerry Reed – very funny actually!).
