How about team survival. I have taught my wife and kids where to find me if I have to boogy. we have practiced on where to locate weapons and how to protect each other if the situation warrants it. This could go beyond just family as well. What have you taught your team to do ?

Many in my team are still young. We started with the basics such as fire drills, how to deal with break-ins and some minor first aid. We have taught everyone but the four year old how to start a fire and pitch a tent. We are teaching them responsible gun ownership. The seven year old is getting a Rossi for Christmas so she will begin learning how to shoot. We backpack as a family and I use the opportunity to teach them about wild edibles. I will continue to incorporate survival and self-reliance into their curriculum as they grow.
