Fragmentary Order (FRAGO): Just updated added a free eBook to a FREE online survival course.
I was asked, “Why would a Christian need advice in prepping for survival?”
This is subjective – we do not know exactly when the rapture will be (pre, mid, post-tribulation), but understand it was foretold perilous times will come. Just be ready. I will hopefully leave it all behind when HE returns. But in the meantime, I will not allow my family and friends to suffer knowing the prophetic rough days are coming. And it does not hurt to be ready for anything.
Also, be ready for Fragmentary Orders (FRAGO’s) from the LORD – continue to watch & read the signs & constantly update the mission.

Gator Basic Survival Training Course.
Gator SUMIT: Progressive and incremental emergency response planning and survival and disaster readiness, survival, and added value of outdoor life activities (i.e., hiking, camping skills training and orientation program, etc). The ultimate goal is to enable the best readiness rate for a significant disaster event and build the ability to tactically employ and practice the technical skills learned in a demanding environment.
Murphy’s Law: “Never say ‘never!’” A law of nature denoting an effect that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. It is not a mystery. One Great Book foretold many things that can and have gone wrong – many more are to come. So get right and ready – He is coming soon!
NOTE: FRAGMENTARY ORDERS (FRAGO): A FRAGO is an abbreviated form of an Operations Order (OPORD), usually issued on a day-to-day basis, that eliminates the need for restating information contained in a basic operations order. It is issued after an OPORD to change or modify that order or execute a branch or sequel. Throughout history, there were many scenarios in which the plans and covenant specifications changed – more so because of man’s irrational behavior and mistakes; for example, God promised a child to Abram and Sarah. They became impatient and took it upon themselves to rush God’s plan with Hagar leading Abram’s son – Ishmael. This required a change in the original plan modifying certain aspects of life, which are still realized to this day. The key to any orders you may receive, do it right the first time and pray.
Technology is building to the point of no return, with the mystery of that risk of Artificial-Intelligence (AI) presents humankind. Not only is the chance of AI gone bad in the wrong, evil hands, turning on humanity in Biblical proportions, but total reliance on a digital framework may lead to a TCD from failed networks or restrictions to buy or sell.
Asking again: Why would a Christian need advice in prepping for survival?
Think of this scenario: When you see the Abomination-of-Desolation (AoD), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand). Then let them who are Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house. Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes (Matthew 24, 16-18, KJV).
“Let them flee into the mountains.” Talk about your major Bug-Out situations? No matter where you are when the BIG-ONE happens, there will be no time to return for clothes or bags. Hopefully, we will all be “called up,” but for those who are not, I hate the thought of any suffering of any one child of God. Regardless if it is the BIG-ONE or an isolated man-made or weather-caused disaster – be ready. Like a Ranger standing by on Ranger Ready Force One (RRF1). Be prepared and waiting with lamps lit ready for anything. I pray to leave it all behind…regardless be ready. In the meantime, if you are still spiritually blind – put on your Revelational Vision Goggles (RVG’s) and realize:
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son-of-God (John 3: 16-18, KJV).

Check out a sample overview of the Gator FERPS Workbooks and Handbooks.
Gator FERPS Tactical Standard Operating Procedures (TACSOP): Multi-purpose guides providing the most vital information needed while actively engaged in an emergency disaster survival situation or while camping, hiking, day-trips, training, etc. They are strategically designed to offer the right material (combined from all other Gator publications) required for operational and tactical proficiency. Not all information is required immediately when in the field, while some information is critically helpful for quick access to references while conducting field activities. The Gator FERPS Handbooks are designed to provide field manual training guidance, while the TACSOP’s are intended to provide the technical steps for tactical execution. A value-added bonus is the room to make notes to tailor continued building of the set of instructions particular to your scenarios.
o Cutting & Survival Support Assets: Tactical expediency using tools including how to tie down and prevent loss. How to sharpen, care for, and use knives properly.
o Life-Saving Water: Water procurement, storage, disinfection, field sanitation, and preventative medicine. Provides adequate data in well-arranged Gator Tables to estimate needs for Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE) and capacity needs. Compares mobility plans and backup water supply and storage methods.
o GTA – Water: Provides Concepts of Survival Support (CoSS) alternatives in graphic depictions of tactical water catchment options. Includes tables for a quick overview of different environments, potential water sources, and how to obtain and purify the water. Estimate water needs based on environmental risks faced in the field. The Graphic Training Aids (GTA’s) provide pictorial aids to assist with real-time mnemonics for use in training while in the field.
o Food & Sustainment: Provides CoSS alternatives in graphic depictions on methods to capture, clean, cook, and store wild edibles. Helps with mnemonic aids to annotate while studying in garrison, for tactical use on the go – in the field. You can only carry so much food. This section provides a limited guide to foraging, identification of plants (poisonous and edible), and various methods to safely acquire, prepare, store, and consume wild edibles. A limited number of plant types is included, but space to annotate notes of wild plants, trees, and berries that are prevalent in your area of survival. A very useful Gator Table in the Checklist for Food Procurement and Identification is included.
o GTA – Ropes, Ties, Seats & Harnesses -Tying It All Together: Quick reference guide for ready-to-use field use. Provides familiarity with ropes and techniques to aid in safe and effective movement. Better proficiency will equate to more efficient use of energy and resources.
o Gator-Aid: First-Aid & Emergency Management: A tactical first-aid guide to provide quick-access steps to life-saving actions. Includes a summarized excerpt from the tactical Ranger Handbook Medic Guide.
o Shelter & Encampments (GTA): Provides quick reference guide for shelter types and a framework of considerations for foundations, landscapes, materials, and safety IAW your SETT-TC (Situation, Environment, Time, Terrain & Weather, Threat & Category).
o Fire-Energy-Heat Management (GTA): Basics, including fire types, ignition sources, man-made and primitive fire-starting methods, tinder, kindling, fuel types, fire location selection, and safety.
o GTA – Maps & Navigation (GTA): Provides graphic pictures and charts to help with practical guidance in shortfalls of technical knowledge while in the field on how to move from one point on the ground to another via variable means (i.e., foot, flotation, day/night movement, etc).
o Communications (GTA): Includes good Gator Tables to help plan your communications support and operations plan. Charts for basics of radio and signal operations with word use, emergency signals, etc.
o Personal Competency (Mental, Physical & Spiritual Fitness): Prepare during the Deliberate Actions Stage (Phase I). Once entry into Phase II during the reactionary stage, top physical, mental, and spiritual fitness will help in tactical actions – the better you can navigate, react to weather, risks, etc. can help persevere during austere episodes.
o Physical Fitness & Nutrition: The healthier you are at the point of “contact with disaster,” the better your odds of survival. Provides multiple Gator Tables to tie-in the fitness aspects for special considerations in targeted travel areas of operations. Once deployed, effectiveness and efficiency in this realm will provide a survival competency multiplier.
o Personal Hygiene, Physical, Mental & Spiritual Fitness Overview: Failure to prepare will lead to poor performance. Once in the hot zone, this section will help provide limited advice to tend to the upkeep of these areas of concern in survival (survivor needs).
o Traps, Snares & Weapons (GTA): Quick reference guide to the set-up of sample types of methods to capture wild game.
o Knots & Cordage (GTA): Guide for useful knots to aid in improvising equipment, building shelters, assembling packs and safety devices, etc. Incorrect knot-tying can result in injury or death.
