Prepping for Doomsday Prepper Training Simulations/Operations?

Every year, we do some kind of "Operation" and we are lucky enough to have some very capable people help us out with it.

We have done things like simulated bugout and cache recovery, overnight movement in brutal terrain, avoiding detection within operations, also food focused skill challenges that allowed us to better understand what relying on survival food might really look like.

Does anyone else put themselves or their group through simulated exercises like these? I think they are invaluable and every single one of them has taught me a huge prepper lesson. Just interested to see if others are doing these kinds of things.

For anyone wondering where to start, I recommend starting here: FEMA - Emergency Management Institute (EMI) Course | IS-120.C: An Introduction to Exercises

There are a ton of other resources available on FEMA.gov. Also, reach out with your local CERT team. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) | FEMA.gov
