A Day With Bruce Lee

A DAY WITH BRUCE LEE
(exert from an article about one man’s experience training with Bruce Lee)

----------

Bruce had me up to three miles a day, We’d run the 3 miles in 21 or 22 minutes. Just under 8 minutes a mile [Note: when running on his own in 1968, Lee would get his time down to 6.5 minutes per mile]. So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go 5.” I said, “Bruce, I can’t go 5. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do 5.”

He said, “When we get to 3, we’ll shift gears and it’s only 2 more and you’ll do it.” I said “Okay, hell, I’ll go for it.” So we get to 3, we go into the 4th mile and I’m okay for 3 or 4 minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I’m tired, my heart’s pounding, I can’t go any more and so I say to him, “Bruce if I run any more,” –and we’re still running-”if I run any more I’m liable to have a heart attack and die.”

He said, “Then die.” It made me so mad that I went the full 5 miles. Afterward I went to the shower and then I wanted to talk to him about it. I said, you know, “Why did you say that?” He said, “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”

Urban Survival

What items do I need for urban survival?

There are many opinions regarding the items necessary for urban emergency preparedness. I have compiled the following list of items based on my training. The categories are listed in their order of importance.

WATER:

• Water treatment using either boiling, filters, chemicals, purifiers, or a combination.
• Minimum of 1 gallon of drinking water per person per day
• Need of water storage. Depending on the situation this may include accordion type,
  collapsible, drums or other types of containers.
• Must have a grey water storage and use system

SHELTER:

• If housing is destroyed a 3-4 season tent or temporary shelter is needed.
• If housing is intact personal warmth becomes the primary shelter concern.
• Sleeping bags, thermal blankets and blankets are essential for keeping warm while sleeping.
• Plenty of warm clothing that can be worn in layers, including thermal underwear
• Some type of heating like space heaters, fire place or wood burning stove
• An ample supply of fuel and fire starters for your heating devices(s)
• Several sources of illumination, such as candle lanterns, flash lights as well as extra
  batteries and or fuel
• Basic tools such as a shovel, ax and saw can be used for a multitude of tasks.
• A weather and or AM/FM radio
• Signaling devices such as mirrors, fluorescent markers or flare guns can be useful
  if you need to signal rescuers
• Utility tarps can be used for many purposes, including temporary repair to your shelter
• A first aid kit is an absolute necessity
• Extra supplies of any prescription medications

FOOD:

• EACH person needs at least 1200 calories per day
• Food can be canned, freeze dried, dehydrated, or special survival rations.
• A stove and fuel are essential
• A food storage system must be used to ration and maintain food stores, pales barrels and other systems might be employed

HYGIENE:

• Extra clothing
• Containers and supplies to wash clothing by hand
• Toilet paper
• Feminine hygiene products
• Plenty of cloth towels
• Soaps, possibly low water products like “ no-rinse” or biodegradable soaps
