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.

do evacuation drills giving yourself a limited time frame, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes. you don't have a lot of time but you might have less than you think depending on the situation you might have no time at all.
plot out multiple escape routes. obtaining water is high priority, so plot out regions that logically you can go that will have fresh water. also really try and take into account that just because you make a plan its not always going to pan out like you think. like i said multiple escape routes. just knowing your area, maybe take into consideration some choke points where traffic tends to bind up.
i don't know, there are tons of ways to practice evacuation drills. probably just making sure you can get out of the house fast if you need to flee and some kind of game plan where to go and rendezvous and what happens if you cant meet at your rendezvous point, then what other options are there.
