Well my son is starting to grow up, he is now 14 and my absolute pride and joy, but as he grows his wings are spreading, he is yet again away at residential summer camp doing languages, scubu diving, rock climbing, archery, field craft etc and thriving on it. BUT he is away from home again and events around the world are getting more unstable. if something kicked off I would not be their to protect him.

So though I have trained him in basic fieldcraft he is still not tactically or situationally aware so this week I spent a lot of time developing an aide memoure for him to keep in his rucksack when he is away. basically its just a simple guide expaining to him to take control of his own safety if it all goes tits up. Assess situation, stay put hunkered down for a week if its safe to do so to give me chance to pull him out, gather certain supplies and items of kit, listen to the news. what to put in an improvised BOB if he cannot access his own, what routes to try and follow if he has to bug out, lots of reassurance hints and tips etc. Heh alreasdy been contacted by the parents of one of his roomates asking if they can copy it and adapt it for their own kids !!!
