I love the thoroughness of Holly Deyo. Her Dare To Prepare<\/em> book is a must have, and I think the dry, functional attitude helps it – \u00a0a survivalist Bible\u00a0for sure.<\/p>\n

In a recent article<\/a> Holly points out the positives of staying put<\/strong>. Here’s my summary of her ideas:<\/p>\n

\n
Obviously the quickest and easiest safe spot is the place you are already at<\/li>\n
No additional property costs. No \u00a0journeys.<\/li>\n
You\u2019ll need 6 to 8 adults in the best case scenario to defend an average-sized residence. Most houses have roughly 4 directions to guard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I dispute the last point. Either via modern technology (infrared door sensors and modern alarm systems), or old school (stringed cans), warning systems can be implemented. Your home will be just one more house to raid, rather than a particular target – they will not expect warning systems.<\/p>\n
The idea of many adults is very valid. But if you defeat a gang of intruders, make sure you have a Plan B to retreat to – there will always be a bigger oppressing force that turns up.<\/p>\n
To survive In Situ, think Ann Frank:<\/p>\n
\n
Hide.<\/strong> When the oppressors are searching, efficiency is a factor. Think outside the box – choose somewhere that is too hard to discover. Like under a ton of bricks…<\/li>\n
Distract.<\/strong> Anything that distracts then from their search is to your advantage. Think rabid dog.<\/li>\n
Endure.<\/strong> Stay hidden for weeks or months. Prepare for this ahead of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
