"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat." 

— Richard Marcinko

Pick your emergency: natural disaster, house fire at 2 AM, grid going down, civil unrest in your city. How mentally and physically prepared are you to deal with it?

Do you own a firearm you're proficient with? 

Can you grab your important documents in the dark? 

Does your family have an emergency rally point?

If your phone suddenly becomes no more useful than a paperweight, do you even have a physical map? A written list of important contacts? 

If you're like most guys, you won't think about this until you're standing in the dark wishing you had.

These things don't send calendar invites. They blindside you, and the only thing standing between your family and chaos is however prepared you decided to be on some random Tuesday when everything was fine.

So here's your job this week: find one single point of vulnerability in your life. One thing you depend on that has no backup. One plan that exists only in your head.

Then fix it.

Readiness isn't built in a crisis. It's built in the ordinary moments when nothing's wrong and you do the work anyway.
