In the last entry I explored a few ways to save a buck while building up your supplies of defensive materials – that good old Class IV. Now when it comes to defense planning and prepping there’s a million things to do and always the need for more material. And even if you did nothing else but plan and prepare there’s still not going to be enough time in the world to get everything done. Continuing with defense planning in this entry I’m going to explore one way of determining which things and what measures should come before others.
Why prioritize? Prioritizing your effort and resources is just plain common sense. It will normally allow you to get the best bang for your buck if you are faced with either limited time or resources. By establishing defensive priorities we can focus our efforts which hopefully will lead to the best compromise of defense vs. time vs. logistics (logistics in this case being what we have on hand in the way of material and capabilities). Prioritizing isn’t a one stop process either. It’s part of a cyclic process that is continuously reviewed based on several factors as a whole in the defensive planning process which will be the subject of the next blog entry.
To begin the prioritization process you have to list things you want to defend and figure out why you want to defend them. A good question here to ask yourself is “What things must I absolutely have to survive?”. Once you come up with those items that becomes your basic prioritization list. Here’s an example listed in my prioritized order:
