Though my journey into survivalism began before my military service, it was during my time in the Army that my perspective on survival evolved. The lessons learned in the field have since become integral to how I view everything from basic preparedness to complex survival strategies.

While these scenarios are certainly possible, they aren't the only potential outcomes. In reality, we should also consider the more likely situations where local communities must step up to fill the gaps left by a crumbling system, maintaining some semblance of order and survival in the face of disaster.
