What should I prep for?

[Hrusai]

well alot of these situations have the same preps involved, storing food and supplies (petrol, luxury items like toilet paper and all the things that would become scarce fast, or be unmanufacturable, due to oil crises or whatever.

planning an emergency bug out location, learning basic survival skills, and how to hunt, grow food, where to find water and all this sort of stuff.

but ill try and group things together a bit more.



an asteroid hitting, a super volcano exploding, global tsunamis and aliens are pretty earth shattering and without extensive preps extending to personal bunkers and the like you wont survive. (and even with a bunker you might not)

oil drying up, total economic collapse, food and water shortages are all thing that will cause major civil unrest and the best chances of survival are being ready and able to defend your property and having a pre planned location to go to, and also plenty of food and water supplies, including the ability to hunt and grow food if need be.

zombies...grab your weapons and kit and supplies, get in a car, raid your local shops, and get as remote as possible, ideally to an island, make it a defensible place, never out in the open, take over an old farmhouse, or an old mill, sure up the first floor, make a single entrance that is ideally straight up like a ladder, exits are any top windows, almost all people are your friend, establish what kind of infection your being confronted with, are they slow, fast, stupid, clever? transmitted by bites? or something that triggers when dead or nearly dead...i could go on, but its not realistic is it?

pandemics, hunker down, avoid human contact, make sure you can get infected, if you get infected, pray to the governmental disease control and health service to find a cure...again supplies and a location to go to if need be are good ideas...nbc gear will be valuable too depending on the nature of the disease, breathers, anti contamination suits etc.

and finally all war scenarios, it depends on where in the war we'd be, if its danger of invasion imminent, get the fuck out of dodge, go to your secure location, lie low, trust no one with an odd accent and moniter radio traffic, if need be dig a bunker to evade detection, and either be prepared to live there indefinately or pray the war ends quickly without total anhiliation, alternately you could sit at home and hope the invaders arent in a kill everyone mood. or if we're doing the invading, be prepared for hardship, supplies and the ability to hunt and grow food will become invaluable, communities will go into overdrive, the government will probably gear all resources towards the war effort, depending largely on the scale of the war, but the way its looking to me, it'll be a big'un


so in summary i think the main places to concentrate are, brush up your general survival and living skills, hunting for food and growing food, as well as finding and purifying water should be chief among them, power outages will be common, so any renewable energy sources you have will again be valuable (also prone to theft, so make your property anti theft, coat it in glass and razor blades if need be )

also go over you bug out plans, make sure you got enough fuel stockpiled to get to your BOL at very least, more is always better.

otherwise, same old same old, keep on prepping. hope some of that helped a bit

oh and to the last question, think global, prep local
