Survival Tip Of The Day

At some point, money may very well be worthless. If cyber terrorist shut down our infrastructure and Wall Street collapses, what can you buy with coin? Nothing, supply chains will be disrupted and food will be scarce. You will need items to barter. Medical supplies, rations and even alcohol will be valuable items. The exchange system will be the only way to acquire things. Keep this in mind when prepping for the inevitable. Stock up on items that can be used. In addition, not to belabor a point, but your friends and neighbors that failed to prepare will want your items, as well. When it comes down to it, survival is at the individual level. Keep yourself strong for your family, and be cautious of so-called friends because, they will be desperate. 

Survival Tip Of The Day

If it hits the fan while you are reading this do you have your bag ready? Your go bag, your bug out bag, what ever you may call it. Have you inspected it lately? Make sure any items that have an expiration date are current. Inspect your equipment weekly, and know what what every item is used for. Ensure you have practiced with and know the limits of your equipment.

Solar Flares: Is This Just the Tip Of The Iceberg Maybe Mother Nature Is Giving Us Fair Warning

Just like Peyton Manning's career, life can take a dramatic turn quickly. Are you prepared to live without running water, electricity or grocery stores? Can you grow your own food? Look at the natural disasters that have already hit our world recently. Look at all the potential manmade disasters poised to happen, nukes, cyber attacks and so forth.

Money will be of little value, what will be valuable is your intelligence and preparedness. Others will want your supplies and your leadership. There are several schools of thought on the "Doomsday" that many believe will happen this year. My belief is it may not necessarily happen on a specific date. However, with the threat of nuclear war from the Middle East, cyber attacks from everywhere, it is a pretty safe bet that our world as we know it will change dramatically, sooner rather than later. 

You Do Not Have to Believe You Just Need to be Ready

There is a lot of information out there about doomsday and the apocalypse, which many believe is just around the corner. I do not necessarily prescribe to a "Doomsday" per say. However, I do know that disaster can take on many forms. I spent over 20 years in the military and have some idea of the destruction that can be leveled against people, predominantly by other people.

Just because you do not believe, or refuse to admit something can happen, will not prevent it from happening. For the most part none of us can prevent a terrorist attack, a complete meltdown of our electrical grid, poisoned water supplies or a dirty bomb.

Think about how you will manage in the days and weeks after any kind of attack.

Americans Can No Longer Pretend You may live but Can You Survive

Chaos and mayhem will be the new norm. You will not be able to run to the corner grocery to pick up some bread or a gallon of milk. You will have to grow the wheat for the bread and raise your own dairy cows for the milk. Sounds a lot like what our ancestor had to do to survive.

I wonder how we will do compared to our ancestors. I fear we will not fare well at all. Humans or most humans depend on technology to do the work for us. We sit back and let machines and computers do the heavy lifting. We have become spoiled. However, it is not our fault. 


However, knowing what we know now, about the world and all that can happen, is there any excuse for allowing ourselves to become so dependent on "things" that we cannot survive without them. 

Who out there raises their own vegetables, has chickens and maybe a few hogs. Who knows how to milk a cow? Can you cultivate crops and doctor sick animals so they can continue to provide you with calves to keep the food chain alive? Where will the vegetarians find substance, where will they plant their crops?

Well as the saying goes you never miss the water until the well runs dry. Are we close to the bottom of the well?

Disasters are just over the horizon. If you believe it will not, or cannot happen to us, you need to get out of your cave more often.

Rogue nations, terrorists and natural disasters are an unpleasant fact. Doomsday preppers may differ on what type of disaster may befall us, for example, many believe our financial system will collapse, others believe a super volcano or earthquake will be the end. However, their biggest problem once disaster strikes is maintaining their stockpile. Others that refused or could not prepare will be trying to survive, as well. Many will do whatever it takes, let us say most, will do whatever it takes to include, stealing from those that came to the party prepared.
