Continued Operation is an idea prevalent among successful survivors and military organizations. The basis of this philosophy might most simply be stated as "anything worth doing can be done one thousand times." The focus is placed on objects and activities that do not require consumable resources. The philosophy, like bushcraft, can be described as low tech, high skill. In civil unrest, this principle should be applied as much as is practical. The question is not "Will this base hold out until morning?", it is "Will this base hold out for one thousand years?".
