This episode is a fun one. And one that you can participate in. Serenity and Mikes Wife join us this week to play a game of Conflicted The Card Game Finacial Collapse.
Unlike some of the previous versions of conflicted the card game this deck ask some knowledge based questions. So some cards have actual answers. Whereas my favorite ones are What would you do type answers.
I realized I haven’t written about situational awareness in depth since back in 2012. I know from my day to day activities that surprisingly everyone in the world has not read that article and mastered it. In fact, a shit ton of people is still completely oblivious to their surroundings. They have no clue what’s going on around them.
I have a hard time even imaging how people are so out of touch. I was born with a well-developed situational awareness. Guess it makes up for my complete lack of mathematical skills.
So before we dig into it I guess I need to define it for those of you that don’t know what situational awareness is.
Situational awareness is the perception of environmental elements with respect to time and/or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time.
It’s knowing where you are and what’s going on around you.

Are you ready for National Preparedness Month 2016? I feel like this should be read by a Monster Truck commercial guy. You know the ones where they repeat the day like three times. National Preparedness Month 2016 is coming to your arena this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!
That’s how I feel about it anyway. While we should prepare all the time. But September is special. Sure it’s great that the government actually gives reasonable recommendations on their Ready.gov Site. And even though I am very libertarian leaning. To the point of anarchy. I will admit when they do something I like. Telling Americans to get a kit and make a plan is worthy of a crisp high five.
For us preppers, though this is like a month long holiday. It is OUR month! It gives me the fizzies in my stomach. I love it. Since it is so important of a month I like to use it as a time marker. What I mean by that is I schedule certain things periodically. Things like checking your food
Things like checking your food preps for expiration dates. I like to check the dates twice a year. Fall and Spring. So for the fall one, I will plan it during National Preparedness Month. I won’t even go into the expiration date myth. I mostly check for physical signs of damage or swelling of the cans.
We Cover all that and Much more!
Today I have a short rant on why you should be better organized. I’ll tell you why not being very organized cost me a few hours of sleep. I’ll tell you how to avoid similar pain and how being prepared really kept it from being very bad. Even though I really want to crawl into bed right now and catch up on some of that missing sleep I hate missing a day without a new blog. So read on and let me rant at you!
