Don't press your enemy too firmly: 

If you make him desperate, you make him stronger.

Don't press your enemy too firmly:

I wouldn't necessarily say that it would make one's enemy stronger, I'd argue that it would make one's enemy more dangerous due to desperation... more or less, unpredictable.


The practice of the presence of God throughout the day is essential.

The book by Brother Lawrence comes to mind.

Prayer opens us up to the miraculous power of God.

With God on our side, who shall we fear.

While my husband is driving, we will sometimes see a driver ahead of us doing a strange maneuver, hitting the freeway barrier, creating a lot of sparks, but then bouncing back into his lane, and somehow avoiding an almost certain collusion. At those times, my husband and I will say simultaneously, "That was a miracle from God," Surely, God is with us.

Yes. We need to prepare and being fit is important because the hospitals have become places of death.

An essential "F" for fitness (physical fitness) is missing. Without fitness, ain't no person surviving a SHTF or TEOTWAWKI event, no matter how much of the aforementioned "Gs" he possesses, except the first "G", but even God may not save from physical death a person who neglected his body for so long.

A person can shoot all he wants and have the best "tactical" equipment, but if he can't rapidly run 100 yards without being exhausted, thus affecting his mental acuity and physical ability to effect accurate shot placement, he's gonna die ugly.
Classic.
The young Millennial, who probably only has "physical fitness" covered, is playing up the primary importance of physical fitness. I've seen this a thousand times. Everyone wants to be a winner. Whatever you're good at, wherever you're all set? That's what you say is most important in life.

If you had a couple of those G's covered (say, Guns and Group) you'd be secure enough so that you could GET in shape in the early days of the collapse. The group would look out for you in the meantime. Just for starters, the Group would implicitly include many of the other G's!
