There is a myth that seniors start moving slow in their 60s and 70s. I call it a myth because as long as you are moving often, you never really slow down. Slowing down is the biggest cause of health issues and balance issues. Can seniors do parkour? The answer is absolutely!
When I can’t get to a proper gym, here is what I do at home. You should have a pull up bar and some dumbbells for these. These are not going to get you bigger. It will focus on strength, power and endurance.
This sounds nearly impossible, but it is possible. You should be able to do at least a few pushups before starting this.
This exercise should be incorporated every time you work out at the gym along with core. This is where you carry equal amount of weight in both hands (like a kettlebell or dumbbell) and walk some distance. Why is this exercise so good?
This is my go-to battery bank for adventuring. This is the easiest way to charge your devices, and power your DC powered devices (like a QRP HAM radio), and have power for the long term with a solar panel setup. If you want to know more, check out this review.
When you are out camping with a few people and a couple tents, we tend to bring gear that needs charging. Many of us bring personal battery banks, and seem to spend time charging it with solar panels and charging our own gear.

Now that you have a small survival community in place with the essentials of fire, water, shelter and food, what are some tasks that need to be done daily in order to continue to survive? Here is a short list.
This is a great question, and I’ll go over the list below. But this question really deserves to ask the question of the type of camping you are going to do. If you are camping out of a car, bring all the creature comforts. If you are doing a hike through, you may want to minimize what you bring to make the hike a bit easier.
The most interesting configuration whether you are doing SOTA (Summit On The Air) or POTA (Parks On The Air), or setting up a base camp communication station, is using a Solar Powered Battery Bank with your ham radio gear.
I have a waterproof pouch that stores all of my cables, and my charge banks have a number of varying slots. Take inventory of the most commonly charged items you will have on you in survival situations, then make an inventory of cables. Here’s what I have in my pouch, and notice I have at…
