Jim,
Thank you for dispersing such a wealth of knowledge on your blog. My prayers are with your family and for the Memsahib’s recovery.
I concur with D.J.’s post on Third World Experience. Having done mission work in Central America, Australia, and Nepal I have seen a broad range of austere environments and it truly does open your eyes to have a more prepared mindset. Being in Nepal during the onset of a small civil war brought to my attention the need to be prepared while travelling.
Other than the obvious G.O.O.D. [1] kit within arm’s reach while overseas what are your recommendations for being prepared for survival type scenarios (civil unrest, natural disaster, conflict, etc.) while travelling abroad? Thanks, – J.R.S.
