Surviving In A Fragile Society: A Guide To Preparing For The Worst
In the face of any disaster, preparation is key to survival.
And with the world becoming more and more fragile, it’s important to start preparing for whatever the future may bring before it’s too late.
Imagine if society as we know it were to collapse tomorrow—how would you survive?
The author of this book set out on a journey to answer that question, exploring how we can be prepared in instances of large-scale disasters.
In this book, you’ll be guided along his journey as he learns urban combat tactics and firearms, how to be self-sufficient in the wilderness and techniques on rescuing loved ones during an emergency.
You’ll also discover what the one tool is you really need in order to endure the wilderness, why selecting the right vehicle is critical when disaster strikes and how it might come down to utilizing your toilet water some day.
By reading this book, you’ll gain knowledge about disaster preparedness so you can have hope and peace of mind despite any impending chaos.
Be Prepared For Any Disaster: The Necessity Of Proactive Survivalism
When it comes to being prepared for an emergency, no matter what kind of disaster strikes — be it natural, terrorist-related, or economic — anything can go wrong at any moment without warning.
This fact makes it essential that survivalists have a broad range of skills and knowledge to call upon in order to protect themselves and their families.
For example, should your city be struck by an earthquake or hurricane, you’ll need to know how to make a wood fire and have on hand flashlights powered by hand-crank, water purification tablets and first-aid supplies.
Should war break out, you need to be able to drive any vehicle you have available; and regardless of the type of disaster that strikes, it helps immensely if you have basic knowledge on medical care like stopping bleeding, caring for burns or splinting broken bones as injuries are always a possibility.
Thanks to problems in the recent past like 9/11 and devastating hurricanes and tsunamis as well as financial meltdowns uncertainty from other potential catastrophes lurk around us every day.
Surviving such events requires both proper preparation ahead of time with the necessary supplies, plus the knowledge and expertise needed when some kind of all hell breaks loose.
No Matter How Society Turns Out After A Disaster, There’S A Mindset For Everyone To Prepare For The Worst
When it comes to preparing for disasters, how people choose to do so depends on their view of human nature.
For example, some people may fall into the category of survivalists and think that if society were to collapse, people would resort to stealing and killing in order to survive.
These individuals would be inclined to take precautions such as stockpiling guns and supplies or taking refuge in a secret hideout or militia.
On the other hand, those who believe humans are essentially compassionate will potentially gather together in the face of disaster and work towards helping each other out.
Examples like the Commonweal Garden outside San Francisco show how difficult it is to achieve total self-suffiency in case society falls apart, but it’s also possible.
Finally, there are also primitivists who want to sever all connection with modern tools and technology and instead focus on learning survival skills like building fires, sheltering makeshift campsites and foraging for food in the wildness.
Tom Brown embodies this mentality perfectly as he instructs his students through hardships so they can have a fighting chance when faced with an impending disaster.
Overall, how one chooses to prepare for a potential disaster is dependent on understanding one’s relationship with human behavior – no matter what form that takes.
The Benefits Of A Second Passport: How To Escape Disaster And Find Your Safe Haven
When it comes to an impending disaster, the best way to escape is to have a safe haven beyond your own country’s borders.
After all, if people are fleeing their homeland in droves, other countries may close their doors to avoid being overwhelmed.
On November 3, 2004 – the same day George W.
Bush was elected for a second presidential term – inquiries from American citizens about how to acquire a second passport sharply increased due to fears of another terrorist attack and an economic crash from spending on the Iraq War.
Having another citizenship can help you get out of harm’s way if disaster strikes in your homeland.
It isn’t always quick or easy to get this status though.
Most countries require immigrants to be permanent residents for at least five years before they become citizens.
Additionally, some countries may ask you to give up your original passport in the process of becoming a citizen of the new nation.
However, there are technical loopholes that make acquiring citizenship easier in certain nations such as conceiving a child with a Brazilian woman or providing evidence that one of your parents or grandparents was an escaping German refugee during World War II.
If you have enough money at your disposal, you may even find some countries willing to grant instant citizenship in exchange for investment (ex: Austria offers immediate citizenship upon investing one million dollars).
Prepare Yourself For Disaster With Razor-Sharp Escape Plans And The Right Vehicle
When it comes to emergency preparedness, serious survivalists take every precaution they can think of.
This means planning multiple escape routes ahead of time: so if disaster strikes, you’ll have multiple places you can go.
But beyond planning your escape, a true survivalist also prepares what they’ll need to get there safely and in a timely manner.
That’s why when setting up their escape routes, they first strategize where they can bury caches of essential supplies like guns, ammunition, fuel, food and water – so they know they can access these supplies while on the run.
Once that’s taken care of and their map is complete with all the exit routes and supply caches mapped out, it’s time for them to take into consideration what type of vehicle would be best for escaping the disaster.
The best option largely depends on ground conditions – whether or not roads are accessible or even safe enough for driving on.
If roads are intact and clear, then investing in a motorcycle with saddlebags will provide you with the advantage of being able to travel much faster than cars due to not having to deal with traffic jams or roadblocks, without sacrificing too much space for your supplies either.
But if those options aren’t available or too risky due to urban chaos during an emergency scenario, then getting an autogyro (a form of mini-helicopter) might be more favorable as it gives you the ability to fly above obstacles instead of driving through them.
If it just so happens that you live near a coastline area with access to sailboats (keyword: access), sailing could even provide an additional buffer between any possible “plunderers” trying to stop you from reaching safety at sea – plus having an unlimited source of food from fishing is always nice too!
The Importance Of Becoming Self-Sufficient In The Face Of Disasters: Learn To Survive With Guns And Knives
If a disaster were to occur and our current system breaks down, we need to take care of ourselves in order to survive.
This is exactly where self-sufficiency comes into play.
Knowing how to properly use firearms and knives may seem like simple survival skills, but they are absolutely crucial in the event of an emergency.
According to the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) – developed with the purpose of training citizens on how to handle situations if a breakdown occurs – it seems like the government plan is just waiting until something bad happens before taking action.
We saw this with Hurricane Katrina; though they knew it was coming, they waited five long days before taking any actions at all.
That’s why it’s essential for us to be self-sufficient: so that we can take care of ourselves without depending on the government or anyone else.
To learn more about what is already available in our immediate environment can help us become better prepared.
Plus, learning how to properly shoot a gun and use a knife won’t hurt either – those two make up for some of the most important survival skills ever!
Therefore, if you want to raise your chances of surviving such emergences its worth investing time learning on gun shooting and knife sharpening / sanitation methods.
Survival Skills For A Post-Apocalyptic Urban Jungle: How To Escape And Evade In Times Of Crisis
If you live in an urban environment, it is crucial to be prepared for any crisis that may arise.
The best way to do this is by taking an Urban Escape and Evasion course.
This course teaches practical skills such as being able to pick a lock, escape from handcuffs and how to hide your identity and hot-wire a car.
The course also has a survivalist view on human nature, so its students will understand how to handle chaotic or violent situations if disaster strikes.
At the end of the course, they have to undergo a final exam where they try out their skills in escaping an actual city without being caught.
During the test they learn different tactics like locating hidden supplies, finding allies and hiding items on their bodies that are useful in emergencies.
Taking this urban evasion course empowers individuals with the necessary knowledge and training so that they can better prepare themselves for dangerous situations in the city.
How Learning To Manage Risk Leads To Overcoming Fear And Discovering A Fulfilling Life
Having an active attitude toward fear and stress can be a crucial step in preparing for potential disasters.
This can be done by exposing yourself to small, calculated risks and, more importantly, teaching yourself how to handle dangerous situations.
The author found this out when he started exploring the idea of being helpful during emergencies instead of just trying to run away from them.
He discovered that too many people are running from life by doing their best to protect themselves from death, and that it’s impossible to experience the joy of being helpful if you’re avoiding potentially dangerous circumstances.
Emergency training is one way to become prepared for actual disasters and to learn how to manage uncomfortable and riskier environments.
By pushing your comfort zone through emergency courses, you will gain confidence in handling risky situations and feel more prepared when dealing with potential catastrophes.
We All Can Be Professional Rescuers – With The Right Training
In times of crisis, it pays to be prepared.
That’s why the best way to help others in times of disaster is by receiving emergency medical training.
By learning how to recognize and treat various human injuries, from gunshot wounds and broken bones to stopped hearts and water-filled lungs, you will not only feel more equipped to handle any situation that you may encounter, but also feel more inspired to stop and help those who are in distress.
Take Hurricane Katrina for example: The government had its hands full with the massive number of victims, which eventually showed the complexity and fallibility of its rescue plan as it took five days for the necessary support to come in.
Had there been more people who were trained to respond quickly, perhaps many lives could have been saved much sooner.
The author shares a personal experience where his training came in handy: he noticed a man slumped next to his motorcycle on the highway, but instead of keeping going like everyone else did, he recognized the situation thanks to his skills and acted like a professional, stopping the bleeding until an ambulance arrived.
It’s clear then that being able to recognize troubling scenarios and responding quickly is invaluable in emergencies – Fortunately this is possible if you learn how to provide assistance through emergency medical training.
