Tips For Living To Tell A Survivalist Story

By Diane Baker


For some individuals it is foolish to think that our planet will just go on spinning forever without change. Historically they know that, every few thousand years, total species are wiped out by flood, famine, endemic disease, and dramatic climate change. Adding modern humans to the equation makes a global catastrophe even more likely. We are the ones who will be responsible for any crippling economic collapse, nuclear warfare, or global cyberattack. It just makes sense to prepare in advance for what is coming, if you intend to be around to relate your successful survivalist story.

Many feel it is prudent to stockpile a certain amount of supplies in case of a severe weather event that leaves them stranded and without power. It is always a good idea to have enough candles and matches, batteries, canned goods, and bottled water on hand to get you through a week or so of isolation. Eventually these supplies will run out however, and in the case of a long term disaster, they will not be enough.

If something occurs that has long term consequences, these provisions will be woefully inadequate. Where you live will become important and may make a difference in whether you survive or not. Urban areas are not the best places to be in an environmental emergency. You will not be able to find the food and shelter you need to last over a long period of time without any natural resources.

Rural areas with plenty of natural vegetation and uncontaminated rivers and streams will be the only realistic safe havens. Certain parts of the country are more conducive to survival than others. Mountainous regions may be especially advantageous because they are natural sources of shelter, fresh water, and edible plants.

Food and shelter will be the most important items to secure. People have built underground bunkers for many years. If you have the financial resources you may decide to create such a structure or form a group facility that will work for a small community of survivors. Thousands of years ago, people lived in caves and other permanent natural shelters.

A food supply is critical if you hope to survive. Long before anything catastrophic happens, you can research the types of plants that grow in the area you live. You can experiment with ways of preparing the vegetation in the convenience of your kitchen. In the wild, you will need some form of protection. Guns and ammunition will not last. Good hunting knives and bows and arrows are a much better solution.

Individuals who exercise regularly and maintain healthy eating habits will have a natural advantage over a sedentary population that subsists mainly on fast food and sugary drinks. Active people will have a better chance of surviving the elements and living on what they can find in the wild. Strength, endurance, and adaptability will be the new goals. Survivalists believe it is wise to begin an aggressive health regimen now.

Not everyone believes they will ever be involved in these types of disasters, but everyone should be ready to take care of themselves for a period of time. You never know when circumstances will drastically change.
