Survival of Situation X

   This first post is going to be short and is basically an explanation of the site. Situation X is not about or affiliated with any extremist groups or backwoods mercenary type soldiers. It is a site that will help people understand how to survive better in a unexpected situation for which they are ill prepared. People are free to comment on any of the posts and if they know of a better way to handle a situation X, then by all means, make a brief and well written comment. Keep it clean, keep it professional and if there are any topics you'd like to contribute, then leave a comment and we will be in touch.
   There is a lot of news in the world today about the coming catastrophic 2012. I would suggest that you don't buy into it, but by the same token, just be prepared as you normally should. Do you have a BOB (Bug Out Bag)? In the case you don't know what a BOB is, it is a quick pack that you keep somewhere safe and available in case of emergency. As an example; if you've been watching the news lately, you'll see that the Mississippi has flooded many towns and left many people homeless. A BOB is something you grab and get out of Dodge.
   Though many people have an incredible BOB ready to go, if you're new to the idea of being ready for anything, then take some time right now and put together a quick back-pack. This pack might contain a pair of pants, t-shirt, underwear, socks, change of shoes and some toiletries. Many people who are well ahead of the game for preparedness might have a BOB that contains dried foods, water and hunting gear; knives, ropes, guns & ammo.
   One of the main things you want to know in a situation X that calls for a bug-out is that you need to be concerned first and foremost about yourself and your immediate family. Your friends will have to make due for themselves when it comes to food and water. Will you get caught in a food line or will you be prepared with dried goods and water for a few weeks or months?
   Stay tuned to this Situation X blog and don't be caught in a situation X that you can't consider surviving.
