One often overlooked aspect of making it through a survival situation, particularly a long-term survival situation is tactical preparedness.

Most of us have stockpiled food, water, equipment, stuff we think we will need if we have to endure for a period of time, but how well do we know our surroundings beyond our immediate vicinity?

This applies to all environments, from rural to urban – do you know the assets and shortcomings of where you live or your bug-out location?

For most of us, the immediate answer is “of course,” but is that really true?

Where are you the most vulnerable on your property? What defensive positions exist? Can you protect yourself while maintaining access to facilities, equipment and supplies you need? If you have to vacate, what is the easiest way to do it?
