Ask the Warrior

Ranger Handbook

Dear Warrior,

I have been suspicious that my wife is hiding my candy. I know I am a little overweight, but I have a plan to diet. In the meantime, I can't find my stash. Should I confront her about this?

Signed,
Heavy and Hungry

Dear Heavy,
With training, equipment, and the will to survive, you can overcome any obstacle you may face. You will survive. Understand the emotional states associated with survival. "Knowing thyself" is extremely important in a survival situation. It bears directly on how well you cope with serious stresses, anxiety, pain, injury, illness; cold, heat, thirst, hunger, fatigue, sleep deprivation, boredom,loneliness and isolation.

a. Memory Aid. You can overcome and reduce the shock of being isolated behind enemy lines if you keep the key word S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L foremost in your mind. Its letters can help guide you in your actions.

(1) S - Size up the situation, the surroundings, your physical condition, and your equipment.

(2) U - Undue haste makes waste; don’t be too eager to move. Plan your moves.

(3) R - Remember where you are relative to friendly and enemy units and controlled areas; water sources (most important in the desert); and good cover and concealment. This information will help you make intelligent decisions.

(4) V - Vanquish fear and panic.

(5) I – Improvise/Imagine. You can improve your situation. Learn to adapt what is available for different uses. Use your imagination.

(6) V - Value living. Remember your goal - to get out alive. Remain stubborn. Refuse to give in to problems and obstacles. This will give you the mental and physical strength to endure.

(7) A - Act like the natives; watch their daily routines and determine when, where, and how they get their food and water.

(8) L - Live by your wits. Learn basic skills.

Great Reason to Self-Publish Two

Market Your Way-More and more publishing companies rely on the author to market books. Just look at the latest book covers and see which is larger the author's name or the book title? It's the author who sells books. As a niche professional, you have a built in market and your efforts can easily reach them. You know what works, so go to it. Many people are put off by marketing as I was when I first began. When a niche author serving in an industry with peer-customers, the last thing you want to do is bombard them with sales.

If you've developed a blog, newsletter or social media following, then you have your customer database. Your marketing efforts flow as you provide advice and answers to those following your posts, comments and articles. Many authors teach, speak, volunteer or are otherwise active in their professions. It's hard to remain o...
