Adventure and Preparedness Blog

In the army we had a saying, "If eveything is a crisis, then nothing is a crisis."  

We are inundated with information. Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts, Blue Alerts, Heat Advisories, traffic stappages.  We've lowered the threshhold for hurricanes, named tropical depressions, named winter storms and send any number of other "ALERTS" to our mobile phones and devices.  Who can forget the "COVID Emergency" alerts on our phones?  Authorities have done so to the point that many people have turned off alerts and largely tuned out weather. 

With some forethought and some relatively inexpensive equipment, anyone can build a basic power set up that will see them through short term power outages and emergencies.

Prepping for a cyber attack is not that different from prepping for other types of disasters that affect the grid. You want to be able to operate independently of public utilities, stores, or public transportation.

We don’t want to be alarmist, but there is a very high likelihood that we will see a level of cyber warfare in the days and weeks ahead. This is no more true than it is today, so START TODAY.

"The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable."

- Sun Tzu
