Dr. Drew, thanks for having me. Good to see you.
Exactly. And that is what I wrote my book in response to. When I was doing Manhunt, especially, I'm doing escape and evasion. I'm inserting in foreign countries. I'm dropping in places I'm not supposed to be. I'm coming up on beaches. I'm crossing borders under trucks.
And then their special tracking force or fugitive recovery team would come after me with everything they had to try to capture me before I'd make my extract point, which would be three to four days away. And I'd be doing tracking, counter-tracking, booby traps, primitive skills, all this stuff to try to get away.
There was one cameraman with me. They never let me go alone. So the cameraman, sometimes he was pretty good, sometimes he was not. He got me caught on a couple of occasions. But about that time, the people, you know,
And civilians kind of got enamored with the concept of bugging out, which was, you know, you have a bug out bag in your car, you have a bug out bag by your door, something bad happens, you grab the bag and you get out, you bug out until danger is over and you have enough stuff in your bag to survive and get along.
And, you know, being that I'm doing this internationally on a global television series, people would always ask me, you know, what's in your bug out bag? What's in your go bag? What do you have? What would you recommend? And I'd say, that's a terrible idea. Except in very specific cases, like a tornado is barreling straight for your house or something is coming specifically to you.
exactly and in in that case obviously getting out you you have to there's no no choice in fact you know la may tell you you have to go but um in most cases your house is where you should stay your house is shelter you have food here you have water you have your tools you have your weapons you have your family it's a rally point that is everyone knows where it's at you know your neighbors
You know the terrain. You have a community there that's built in. It makes no sense to run away and leave that to try to establish that someplace else under extreme circumstances. So why not build your house and supply your house and prepare your mind and your family for...
settling in and staying in for an undetermined period of time where you're not going to be you're not maybe you don't have access to pharmaceuticals you don't have access to the grocery store you don't have access to an atm i mean whatever the circumstances might be emp civil war unrest world war three who knows what any you know natural disasters any of that
Your house is the best place to be set up. And of course, if a wildfire comes or a tornado comes or something like that, you can always grab the go bag and get out. But why leave all the things you need to go someplace else to try to establish them? So I wrote a book.
Exactly. And, you know, being a bit of a prepper my whole life, you know, I would get, you know, flack from, from friends who thought it was weird and strange and, you know, but now nobody, nobody questions me after COVID and after, you know, the summer of love and all the things we've experienced over the last five years, nobody, nobody questions, you know, preparedness.
Now, now everyone's stocked up on toilet paper and everyone gets it that something, something wrong at any point in time.
Yes, I'm glad you asked that. As far as events, you know, it could be anything. It could be natural disasters. It could be a government situation. It could be some sort of conflict. It could be, you know, an EMP. It could be a banking crisis, anything like that. But that doesn't matter.
What we need to think about is I like to divide survival and escape and evasion and preparedness into five things. essential components. And if you address these five in an order of precedence, you'll be covered whether it's out in the field or whether it's in your house or whether it's in an apartment or whatever the circumstances might be.
There's shelter, water, food, communication, and navigation. And shelter being anything, obviously we have a house, that's shelter, but shelter is also clothes. Shelter is anything that protects your physical body from the elements or from from any kind of anything that can threaten your physical safety. So your physical body, preparing your physical body.
Water is very important as in we can only last three days without water in the circumstances that we're going to put ourselves in. So water is, and everyone, you know, we're used to turning on the tap. But what happens if even a power outage, that big pumping station in your city center now can no longer pump provide the pressure to get to your house.
People don't think about these things and storing water. Water can go bad. You need to know how to store.
Well, it depends on how long you want to prepare for. And so I have, I always set up for a primary tertiary or primary secondary tertiary and emergency and tertiary and emergency can be the same, but I always like three levels of preparedness in the SEAL teams and in many other military groups, we'd always talk about two is one and one is none.
And basically that means if we're going to make a plan, a mission or an operation, we can only plan for having say a GPS unit to navigate with. If we have at least two of them, we have to have a redundancy,
before you can factor it into your planning and so um i always like to have at least three levels where i can and some of these are you know physical tools that i might have in order to start a fire or they might be the knowledge that i have where i can start a fire using a bow drill or some sort of other primitive means and so i always like to have redundancies and um you know you got to think through when you approach these things you divide everything into those five sections like i said and you're going to get a primary secondary and tertiary um
