Guidebook:
even though hundreds or thousands of other desperate people will be there? Should you trust people you meet?
April's text in red pen:
NO NO NO
April's text in blue pen:
(pointing to "Should you trust people you meet?") NO. Not after what I saw today. Hungry people shot down in the street just for being hungry. This isn't... I mean, is this still America???
Guidebook:
By thinking these choices through carefully, you mitigate risk.
You also mitigate risk through planning. A well-appointed go-bag mitigates a number of risks-the risk of scavenging, the risk of dying from lack of first aid. As with prevention, mitigation starts with planning.
April's text in blue pen:
Have to trust someone. Can't do this alone.
Guidebook:
AVOID
You can't avoid everything in a TEOTWAWKI environment. But you can avoid some things. For example, if a dirty bomb goes off, you can avoid the radiation by going upwind of the explosion. In a hurricane, you can avoid flooding by going upstairs.
In a long-term sense, you avoid potentially dangerous situations by seeing them ahead of time, learning to recognize them for what they are, and acting promptly. If there is a pandemic, don't wait for social-distancing measures or quarantines; avoid large groups of people. If there is a war or civil unrest, avoid it.
These measures are intertwined, to be sure. But if you keep them in mind - Prevent, Mitigate, Avoid - you will train yourself to think in terms of self-reliance and survival.
April's text in red pen:
Not JTF, not Army, not National Guard. Gear different. Is this "The Division." Merch? What were you trying to tell me?
April's text in pencil:
Asked Doctor about this. He warned me to talk about something else. Looked around at the walls like he was warning me people were listening.
April's text in pencil:
(pointing to "warning me that people were listening") WM IN THE DIVISION???
