Keeping your body in good working order is one of the best ways to prepare for a manmade or natural disaster or need for personal defense.? We usually can't prevent the evil that people do or keep nature from unleashing a lethal event.? But I have six ways a walker can be prepared and react to a disaster.
Besides this being the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, I am also editing photos of a walk and hike at Mount St. Helens, our local active volcano that killed 57 people? in its 1980 eruption.? In each case, some people were saved because they could evacuate on foot, others dropped behind and perished. Meanwhile, we've been watching Surviving the Cut, Man vs. Wild, and other survival tips shows.? Humans are pretty darn sturdy and live in extreme conditions around the world.
You aren't made of sugar.? You won't melt in the rain. Even an untrained person who is normally healthy can walk six miles. But until you do it, you don't know.? Once you do it regularly you will have confidence that you can survive whatever fate or nature wants to throw at you.? Nine years after 9/11,? five years after Katrina, could you walk home from work if all transportation was stopped?
