Burett McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

When people think about survival and preparedness, they tend to think of dealing with an end

of the world kind of scenario.

The lots of bad things can happen and are more likely to happen that fall short of the

apocalypse.

My guests can help you prepare for any worst case scenario.

Whether it's the worst thing to happen to mankind or just the worst thing to happen to

you this year.

His name is Mike Lover, he's a former Green Bray, the founder of Field Craft Survival,

and the author of Prepared.

Hey in the show, Mike and I first talk about the softer skills of preparedness.

We discuss how to create plans using military concepts like war gaming and the pacemethodology,

build your tolerance to stress, and develop your situational awareness so you don't freeze

into crisis or let one catch you by surprise.

In the second half of our conversation, we discuss the harder skills of preparing for

worst case scenarios.

Mike outlines what capabilities every man should develop.

He shares his own EDC and what he recommends you carry it and wear on a day-to-day basis.

And we talk about how to stock your home and car for emergencies and more.

All right, Mike Lover, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.
