Make a looting kit. On tuesday I talked about dealing with looters and opportunists and although you may not agree with everything I said, don’t take this preparation lightly. In this show I look into the mind of a looter or opportunist and what they will be thinking after a disaster. One of the best ways to prepare for an attack is to know your enemy. This show is based on an article written by Thomas Northrup of “No BS survival” that I found on the website STHFplan.com. Let me suggest that you read it after listening to this show.

Looting is a common problem after disaster strikes. The unprepared get desperate and decide to take things by force because they were blind sheep and did not prepare. So this episode is about how to deal with that and it’s inspired by an email I received from a listener. He disagreed with something I said in a previous episode and his point was a good one. So good, that I decided to make 2 podcasts on the subject. So this is your TSS Survival Tip #1 of this week. TSS tip #2 will be an expansion on this subject and will post on Thursday of this week.

Footwear is so important and often neglected. What I mean is that too many people try to equip their feet with poor quality footwear. Don’t you think that in an emergency you may have to spend a lot of time on your feet? So I decided to discuss the importance of what type of footwear to have in various survival situations. I also cover a little bit about insoles, boots, walking and hiking shoes, socks, getting the right size boot and my battle with Morton’s Neuroma. The inspiration for this show came from a great article called “Proper Footwear for Survival”, by Seth King. It’s a very reasonable article on survival footwear and I suggest you read it.
