Information in this book is included simply as a referencemanual; it is a collation and collection of terms, phrases, concepts, acronyms,etc and is provided for information purposes only. It should not in any way betaken as expert opinion or advice.
Preface
The population of survivalists, adventurers, explorers andpreppers are increasing with each passing day. People are realising theimportance of gaining knowledge and skills. Being prepared is the first stepone can take in overcoming disasters, calamities and other such unforeseencircumstances. Armed with the knowledge of what to do and by thinking out ofthe box, it becomes far easier to face and overcome difficulties whichotherwise can become extremely daunting.
However, with increasing information in thisspace, we are constantly faced with terms, words, phrases and concepts thatseem extremely alien. This makes understanding the particular skill a lot moredifficult and in some cases leads to giving up since the words make no sense atall.
Looking for a compendium of information in avariety of places, I came up short. And the idea of putting together aDictionary of words, terms, phrases, acronyms, etc was born. Hopefully, thisDictionary explains and demystifies some of the words we end up hearing in thecourse of increasing our knowledge and skills.
It is a Dictionary and does not attempt toexplain each term or concept, but gives you a very basic understanding of whatit is. Detailing each term would require many volumes and there is enoughinformation about them in a variety of sources across the internet and inbooks.
This is a compilation and I am just a compilerand not the Author. I have just collected and collated the information and putthem together in a form that I think might be useful to many ... fromexperienced survivalists, adventurers and preppers to those who are startingout discovering this very interesting field.
This is a continuing exercise and I do not thinkanyone can say thus far and no further. There will always be new informationand new words and new phrases and new terms and new acronyms. If you comeacross any and feel that they merit inclusion in the Dictionary, do let me knowby sending a email to info@otasurvivalschool and we will include them in thenext edition.
Hope you enjoy flipping through this Dictionaryand that it helps you.
Wishing you many happy journeys in the bosom ofMother Nature.
