Topeka MAG — "How To Survive" with William from The Tactical Wizard

Survival isn't a single moment of heroics — it's a stack of small, boring, well-practiced decisions made before things go wrong. This November, William from The Tactical Wizard joins the Topeka MAG for "How To Survive," a grounded, plain-spoken training on the skills and mindset that actually keep people alive when the plan falls apart. William breaks survival into the priorities that matter: the rule of threes, shelter and core temperature, water sourcing and purification, fire under bad conditions, signaling and self-rescue, and the often-overlooked first-aid and decision-making skills that matter more than any gadget. We'll talk kit — what belongs in a real bug-out bag vs. what's just weight — but the heart of the session is mindset: situational awareness, managing fear, and building the reps now so that stress doesn't freeze you later. You'll leave with a survival framework you can actually use, a short list of gear worth carrying, and a clear next step to level up your readiness. Whether you're new to preparedness or sharpening an existing kit, this is the training that turns "I hope I'd know what to do" into "I know what to do."
