It's ALL about your #fallback plan when facing any foreboding. When a crisis or catastrophe hits, do you have it covered with a strategic counterpunch?

I discussed a fallback plan in the @natgeo episode for #doomsdaypreppers. If I lost my bunker, I'd switch to my #mobilebasecamp. If I had to drop it and go, I'd #kayak, #mountainbike, #ruck, or even just walk away.

Preparing for Friday Night Firelight w/ @nutrientsurvival and @firebuggzfun via @wirecast premiering 3 FEB at 8 PM EST, I realized how important #bushcrafting was for any #preparedness scenario.

Continually honing my belief in "The Wisdom of Worst-case" and "The Art of Ready" nothing in today's headlines has moved me off those mindsets.

Here is your invitation to join me; let's kick some of this around together.

Why should you and I welcome Brain Fog with open a

Why should you and I welcome Brain Fog with open arms?

Welcome it or not, I've battled it since waking up in the recovery room following my first of five brain surgeries.

Kickstarting my recovery, wrestling reality from the clutches of the anesthesia, my eyes focused on a large, blazing red box a few feet beyond the foot of my bed.

The first thing I saw from over the tops of my toes was a Cardiac Crash Cart, in case my heart stopped beating, I suspect. The doctors and nurses of the NICU wanted it close. I remember smirking, "That's some positive motivation right there. Welcome back, Bri!"

My next memory is coming to a day later in a different room. This time, no giant defibrillator, just a cave of beeping, blinking, irritating machines tethered to me via multiple tubes and cords.

And so my "new norm" began.

At times, the messy, mentally-blurred confusion, second only to my PTSD, splitting headaches, and a near-constant state of nagging vertigo, was all I had. My "mood" seemed inexorably tied to the ebb and flow of my leaking spinal fluid, the pain beating in synch with my pulse.

Through it all, there remained a faint whisper, a "still small voice" that I could barely make out at times; yet it was always there, like hearing a distant horn in the thickest of fog. Using my own form of "echolocation," I would intently focus, as if my directed hearing was its own form of communication, to locate its source in the dense clouds of my mind. Not unlike children playing Marco Polo in a swimming pool, I guess.

Wild thing? When turning my attention to cutting through the near-suffocating haze, the pain would lessen. With this laser-like focus of attention, my brain grew distracted from the throbbing headaches.

Soon, I swore to "listen" to that distant call, no matter what. Be it intuition, gut instinct, a hunch, ruah, or the commands of God--The Divine, however you define it--I would follow the voices in my head, come what may.

So, don't let them bad mouth your #brainfog, tell 'em you've spoken to a guy who wonders why we would ever surrender the tunnel, knowing that fighting to get to the light at its end hones you to your impeccable best. #mentalhealth

Friday Night Firelight w/ @nutrientsurvival and @f

Friday Night Firelight w/ @nutrientsurvival and @firebuggzfun via @wirecast premieres 3 FEB, and for now the set is moving along nicely. Throughout the episodes we will be highlighting #campfirecooking over three types of #firepits. Wood burning, Propane and what I like to call “FireBuggz on the Fly” which is my answer to #bushcrafting in style. Getting close!! What will the flames say to you? #MortalUP #mentalhealth #primal #selfhealing #alpha #bushcraft #meditation #peakperformance
