Monday, September 2, 2013  Max Velocity AAR and Mental
Preparation/ Coping  An AAR from Max Velocities recent Combat
Rifle/ Contact Drills course. Good stuff.  Look, we all have
competing demands on our time and money but it is essential to
get the training needed to fight and survive. Come up with a
realistic plan on how to save sufficient funds as well as free
up the time to get the training you need in the coming weeks/
months. Do the same for medical skills and other important stuff
as needed to be the best well rounded fighter/ survivalist you
can be.  SHTF School did a post recently on Survival Psychology.
There are a couple things I find helpful in mentally handling
rough situations. It is important to remember that most really
bad situations are temporary. Things are bad today and tomorrow
doesn't look good but next week will be better. So just keep
putting one foot in front of the other and counting down till
then.  Another helpful thing is to do your best to maintain a
sense of limited normalcy and
