Core Training
Lesson 2 of 25
Mindset 1.2 30k ft Planning
If you don't know where you are going you will likely never arrive.
When you finally decide that it is in you and your family's best interest to be better prepared you will be faced with the obvious question of where to start. SPEAR Survival has made that easy with these numbered lessons and easy to follow training. We start with this Core training course that covers the basics (which most survival minded people with find redundant) and continue to teach you the skills of preparedness one lesson at a time through each level of training. The ultimate goal of SPEAR training is to give a solid foundation to your interests and talents. SPEAR covers the basics and helps you master them.
But beyond the basics you will need to decide what your fully prepared self looks like. To see things from 30000 ft. From that height you can look down and clearly see the full picture of your efforts. You can see yourself standing confident and sure with a set of skills and knowledge that will keep you alive. To plan at this level is to decide where you are going to be when you have completed the tasks that you need/want to do.
When you have a clear image in your mind of what that looks like you need to write it down.

Your 30k plan might have more beans than bullets or vise versa. You may decide that you see yourself more of a healer than a fighter and will need to prepare a bigger first aid kit than a weapons cache. You may want to focus on a homestead with live stock and field or on traveling light and living of the wild as you go. No matter what you see from 30k feet you will need a plan to get there.
Core training is a valuable starting point for anyone but by having a solid grasp on where this is going you will be better focused and committed to the simple tasks that need to be done.
In an outline form you need to list the priorities that you want to get better at. These may be one of the ten branches of training or may be something related that may fit into one of them. You may find that what you want to be prepared for will determine the course of study that you take. (You would prepare differently for a super storm blizzard than you would for the collapse of the dollar)
With a simple outline of the skills that you need to improve on you can start the next list which will be the items or gear that you will need to accomplish those skills. A solid list of these item will allow you to prioritize spending and to include a line in your budget for these items. Remember, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Start small and keep it going. The plan will show you the way and keep you on track.
These are the ten branches of training that we cover in SPEAR Survival. Each branch has two or more lessons per level of training. The goal is to build all ten areas at the same time to make you a more rounded student.
The Ten Branches:
1. Mindset
2. Load set
3. Communications
4. Navigation
5. Water
6. Shelter
7. Fire
8. Medical
9. Rations
10. Tactical
You can see the relevance of most of these topic and how the others may apply. I encourage you to continue on your training with the next lesson. Be more prepared today than you were yesterday. Lesson 3If you have found this lesson first and want to start at the beginning. Lesson 1
