Captive! Taken Hostage! Prisoner of War! What Do You Do?
Facing a possible U.S. collapse in the coming years, most people taking steps to prepare (preppers) are concerned about food and water shortages, how to deal with possible security issues, transportation (should there be a widespread shortage of fuel), power (should the power-grid fail), light, communication, etc.
However, the key to being prepared is to understand a wide breadth of information and possible circumstances – even those that might fall well outside the realm of typical “prepper” topics, such as: Escape and Evasion.
The fact is, a large number of preppers in the world are likely to face several instances in a time of collapse where knowing how to escape and evade danger will be more important than food or water that day.
What You Can Learn from Special Forces SERE ‘Survival, Resistance, Escape, Evasion’
Aside from being a Special Forces Medic for six years, I started my enlistment in the Army at the age of 18 as an interrogator. One of the duties I had was to help provide SERE (Survival, Resistance, Escape, Evasion) training to various units in locations in the USA and Europe.
During this time, I learned a lot about ways to help train our soldiers to be better at surviving captivity and being able to band together and work as a team to escape. Following my years in the Special Forces, I now run a survival school called “The Human Path” (TheHumanPath.com), where I continue to teach “escape and evasion” today.

If your captors know anything about keeping you helpless, they will segregate you, isolate you and not give captives a chance to help each other.

The best possible scenario would be to have the people you know and trust close by and then be able to communicate with them.
This might be possible in a FEMA or government-run camp, and you should use it to your maximum advantage along with the motivation to escape earlier rather than later. Having people you know you can trust is a huge motivation factor and click to read the full article
