Rule 7Always have a plan first before you act

In the Wilderness

As mentioned above, prevention is better than a cure, so you should always plan before you act to prevent negative consequences. This is a crucial step in both survival and combat. What material should you use to make your shelter? What will you do if you see a tiger? etc. You ALWAYS need to plan before you do anything. Even when you’re sleeping, your life still depends on a plan. Is this place safe enough? Do you need to make a trap or a big fire to assure your survival? All you need to do is sit down and think about everything.

In School

You really need to plan in school, especially in PE. You need to strategize before starting a game of dodgeball, basketball, soccer, etc. For some special situations, you might need it too. For example, maybe you pulled the teacher’s pet’s hair, or you might have accidentally thrown a ball at the PE teacher, and now he’s really mad. For example, maybe you need to plan to blend into the crowd the crowd attempting to shoot the basketball into the hoop. Every situation requires a different solution.
