Featured by Uncharted Supply Co: Build the Endurance to Get Yourself Out of Any Crisis
Folks do a lot of different things to prepare for a crisis. They stockpile food and water. They do the same with ammo. They compile the right gear, make escape and medial plans, and they do everyday things like never letting their vehicle get below a half-tank of gas. But they often ignore the most important piece of crisis planning: their body.
Your body is gear. When you neglect to care for important gear, it fails you when you need it most. There is no time that you need your body more than during a crisis situation.
The folks at Uncharted Supply Co. are all about preparedness. One of their four pillars of preparedness is Mental and Physical Fitness. So, Christian Schauf, the founder, and I chatted about how we might help folks better align with that pillar. I came up with a two-part article series on how to train for the endurance that makes a body a valuable piece of gear in a crisis.
If you want to make sure your body is an asset and not a liability in a crisis, read both parts and take action on the advice.

Do You Know How Much Weight You Should Carry? Determining Your Safe Pack Weight in 10 Minutes
Picture this: You’ve just finished skinning and quartering a bull elk you’ve worked just about every part of your ass off to kill. Now, you have some roller coaster miles ahead of you. The first stretch of that roller coaster is a steep uphill stretch. Then you have yourself a spicy descent before you hit another long uphill, march. You grab your pack and have a look at the meat as it hangs in game bags; you want to get it all back to the truck as quickly and in as few trips as possible. But there’s a problem — you don’t know how much you should load into your pack at one time.
