I’ve spent an entire month in the mountains of Washington State during January with six feet of snow, almost no food, and very limited supplies during my training to become a SERE Instructor. While a small percentage of the 30% might make it through the winter in normal times, only a small fraction could do it during a SHTF scenario.įirst off, I’m speaking from experience.
