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.

This is where survivalist training and preparedness comes in. Most of these individuals believe that urban environments will become deathtraps. The inhabitants will not have the natural resources available to restock their food supply or find suitable shelter. Feral animals and epidemic disease will take over quickly.

In order to have any chance of remaining alive in such a situation, there are certain things these individuals advise you do. You will have to seek shelter in an area where you are able to find edible plants, fresh water, and shelter from the elements. This is probably going to be in a more remote part of the country than most of us current live.

If you hope to survive in this new world, you will have to obtain reliable shelter and learn how to forage for things to eat. Underground bunkers are the solution some people have come up with. They have built elaborate structures that can house numerous individuals for an extended period of time. Others would rather take their chances above ground and would prefer to live in a cave environment much like their ancient relatives.

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.
