Perception

Perception is how people view and decide how to think about and what to do with something or someone they are looking at. The perception that you give other people will decide how they react to you. You want to give the right impression so that you will be left alone. The goal is to blend in and disappear in the crowd. Don't stand out, the highest nail gets hit first. You don't want to get hit.

The whole key to survival is to not be the target. If you see a guy in a big house with a nice new car, you figure he has money and a lot of good shit in his house that you might like to have. Now he may also be up to his nose in debt and living paycheck to paycheck. You don't know him so you don't know his situation. That is the same thing you want for yourself, don't let people know your situation. If you have food and weapons stored in your bunker out in the backyard, don't walk around with t-shirt that says ' let them come, I'm armed and ready'. Keep a low profile, don't have gun stickers on your car, don't wear the god, guns and guts baseball hats, please put the cases of MRE meals somewhere other than the corner of the living room where you are using them as an end table.

We will talk later about vehicles and what to do to have the best suburban assault vehicle on the block and absolutely nobody will notice it. That is the goal of what we are doing here. Stay low and stay alive. The enemy, and believe me you have more than you think, have their eyes out for anything that may look like an opportunity or a threat to them and their ideas of the world they want to make. You need to be under the radar so that you can fight the bad people on your terms and your way, not getting swept up in the first round.

So look around and blend into the surroundings, look like everyone else and don't look like a threat or a payday and you will have a better chance to make it.

More to come.
