Suppose SHTF, and the city is turning into a hell hole. It’s the disaster of the century and you happen to be stuck right in the middle it. Looting is rampant, the infrastructure has entirely collapsed and supplies are running low. You see violence picking up as people start to fight over resources. You figure there’s a way out so you find a way to safely get past the gang led roadblocks. So you steal a nice 4×4 and you siphon enough gas to make it 100 miles out of the city. This is what a survivalist calls “Bugging Out”.
Some Thoughts on Foraging and Growing Food WSHTF
With such a fragile system keeping the store shelves stocked with food, it’s absolutely paramount that you not only learn to grow you own food, but that you also learn to forage and be able to identify edible plants in and around your city. Such skills are lost to the current generation so it’s important to learn these skills before SHTF since you’ll likely be the only ones that will know how. We gotta keep this knowledge and wisdom alive!

9 Important Survival Antibiotics Every Prepper Should Know
It often happens that preppers overlook antibiotics as a part of their preps, but these wonder meds can actually turn out to be life savers. Effective and easy to use, survival antibiotics will certainly come in handy post collapse and when you’re having to deal with an infection. To be completely honest with you, I had been blissfully unaware of the many types of antibiotics that existed until not too long ago when I developed an infectious colitis in my colon. I didn’t know about the condition until I was in excruciating pain and I went to see my doctor. This infection was triggered by a bacterial infection, and one of the causes may have been through the consumption of uncooked meat.

How to Survive a Nuclear Exchange
We are living in a world where nuclear war can happen at any moment. Global politics and leaders of nations are volatile; the whole of Earth seems to be teetering on the brink of social and economic collapse. Unless nuclear threats are totally neutralized and universally controlled, then this danger of the human race being wiped out with the very weapon we have created is truly possible.
You might be thinking if it’s even possible to survive a nuclear holocaust (or if it would even be worth it). The atomic weapons of today are much, much stronger than the ones made decades before. What will happen when these deadly weapons are launched, no one is certain. It may all seem to be certain doom for all of us, especially those in populated cities. But for those who are living in very remote areas… there may be a small chance.

Tactical Hand Signals That Every Prepper Should Know

Prepping for the Next California Power Outage & Wildfires
It’s starting to seem that every year in California, wildfires are displacing thousands of people, and forcing thousands more to be under evacuation orders. On top of that, to prevent wildfires (to avoid law suits), PG&E have shut off power to approximately 2.1 million people in 2019 (in some places, up to two weeks!). Although the casualty rates for these types of problems are relatively low, they can be a massive pain in the ass and be extremely stressful. Fortunately, with a little basic emergency preparedness, the damage, stress and inconvenience can be greatly minimized!
