Welcome to the Philcraft Survival Podcast.

I'm your host Mike Lover.

Hey guys, welcome back to the Philcraft Survival Podcast.

I'm your host Mike and today we're talking about everything planning.

Planning is at the most interesting topic to talk about.

It's not sexy, it's not defense tactics.

It's not anything that anybody really wants to hear about.

But I'm here to tell you right now the reason why you need to listen to this podcast and understand this information is because it's the key to being successful.

Whether you're conducting a, you know, a hostage rescue, a direct action raid against a high-by-you target, or you're just trying to be successful and backwards planning off of reaching a goal or objective in your everyday life.

These processes that I learned in the military, these processes that I learned in planning are the same processes that you've applied at every facet of your life.

So listen to the information, listen to the planning methodology, write it down, and try to apply these processes to your everyday life because it's going to help you.

Mainly I want to teach you these systems and these acronyms for you to take it into your survival contingency life because the way in which special operations plans is based on contingency-based planning, which means that I'm building a plan based on the primary plan failing.

And to have a contingency to back that up is the methodology in which we plan everything.

So we're always prepared for the backup or things going wrong and we are never surprised.

So when you have that kind of mindset, when you have that kind of planning process applied to your everyday life, to your survival life, to your, you know, your tactical or defense life, you're going to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

And that's the whole point of this podcast is for you to be better prepared.

Part of the, the ending of each podcast is say, stay alert, stay alive.

Well, to stay alert, you have to live in a world in which you have good situational awareness.

And then when you have good situational awareness, if you pre-plan things at your disposal that you can go to when things go wrong, because you've thought it out deliberately, then you're going to have a higher success rate in survival.

So I hope you guys enjoy this episode.

We're going to start out with talking about some simple processes that I learned in the military and Ranger School and the infantry and in special operations.
