Build Your Survival A-Team NowWhere to find survival Team Members

• Most likely your family• Your church• Hunting and garden clubs

I am not a fan of picking strangers for your survival team. The level of trust needed, especially in a n

extreme emergency, is very, very high.

Ask yourself: do I trust this person, these people, with my life?

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Information

Coping: when lost, out of food, sick. Basic help.

Helping: how to be safe.

Enlightening: how to be happier; how to have a better situation.

Empowering: seeking information to help the self.

Edifying: seeking moral or spiritual uplifting. Artistic expression.

The key to Maslow’s hierarchy is to understand that teamwork exists of level 3. It can assist on 1 and 2, but if 3 becomes an impediment to ones before it, trouble

ensues.
