Learn to Endure

You may have found this blog as you share an interest in adventuring, the great outdoors, survival tips, security, WildCamping or BushCrafting and your reasons for having an interest can be just as varied.

At one extreme, if you've ever watched an episode of Doomsday Preppers, your yearning for preparing may come from the fear of a government uprising, risk of natural disaster, economic shutdown or global pandemic, or even a terrorist attack, nuclear disaster or your run of the mill, Zombie Apocalypse. At the opposite end it might be because you love to hike to the nearest forest, hang a hammock to the nearest tree and sleep under the stars.

At Disce Pati, we're not ones to judge on your reasons for prepping and love to hope for the best and plan for the worst as much as the next person. At the core of what we do is to connect a community of like-minded people who love to escape the trappings of every day working life, get out into the great outdoors and return to that hunter-gatherer instinct that's seems like it was built into our DNA, but lost in the everyday comforts and distractions of Netflix and Facebook (even though we love to binge as much as the next person too).

This, we feel, gives people real-world survival skills and helps prepare for the unexpected, whether that be those doomsday scenarios we mentioned, or the much more likely short-term events that could otherwise put us at our most vulnerable e.g. running out of petrol on a deserted road, losing heat or energy supply in your home, becoming trapped or injured while out exploring or needing to escape from a dangerous situation.

There's a very high likelihood that you'll never be in an emergency situation that will call for you needing to adopt that fight or flight instinct for more than a few hours, but at Disce Pati we believe that it not only boosts your confidence in being able to tackle these situations, its also a great way to relieve stress, learn new skills and add some great experiences to your life. That's why our motto is Disce Pati, latin for 'Learn to Endure'.

Over time we'll look to share survival tips, emergency prepping, kit reviews, challenges and experiences of WildCamping, to suit everyone from your casual weekend WildCamper, to your seasoned Survival Expert.

From time to time we'll offer discounted products for your bug out bag, to help fund the upkeep of the site and extend our following to other endurers.

We hope you'll subscribe to our blog, message us with any questions or suggestions for the community and help us learn to endure together. Together we're Tougher.
