Prepping For Survival - Spencer Daly
Introduction
No one wants to think about the unthinkable; that is, after all, why we call it the unthinkable. However, the fact is that disasters can and do happen. Whether it’s a natural disaster like a hurricane or an earthquake or a manmade disaster like war or political upheaval – or something almost unimaginable like complete economic or societal collapse, you have to think about what you would do if it were to come to pass.
You probably think that these kinds of cataclysmic events aren’t terribly likely and you’d be right to think so. However, anything can happen and if some kind of catastrophic event does occur, it won’t do to be a Pollyanna. If you’re a believer in Murphy’s Law (and you should be), you know, at least at the very back of your mind that you need to be prepared for the worst case scenario. This isn’t to say that you can’t be optimistic, but you should be prepared for the worst thing that could possibly happen by simultaneously hoping for the best.
If you’re fortunate – actually, if all of us are fortunate, then you may never need the information contained in this book. None of us hope for disaster, but the possibility of disaster is something that we simply can’t ignore; to tell ourselves that it can’t happen here (wherever here
may happen to be in your case) is, to put it bluntly, dangerous.
Forewarned is forearmed, particularly in the case of some kind of catastrophic event. When you know what to do to keep yourself and those close to you going through even the direst of circumstances, knowledge can make all the difference between survival and death. We’re not trying to alarm you, it’s simply a fact. You need to know how to react and just as importantly, how to prepare to survive when your usual means of meeting the basic needs are no longer available.
In this book, you’ll learn how to make sure that you have all of the basic needs covered, namely shelter, food and water. You’ll learn how to prepare yourself with a set of essential supplies, whether it’s for a few days or for the long term.
Depending on the nature of the catastrophe you’re facing, you may find yourself needing to make your way out of your city and find refuge in the countryside; and we’ll cover how to survive outdoors, including how to create shelter, find food and generally keep yourself alive in the wilderness. If it’s safer for you to take shelter in the city, survival in an urban setting is also something which we’ll go over in the chapters to follow.
Additionally, we’ll talk about how to survive over the long term if things really go downhill and you find yourself needing to ensure a food supply for a period of years, rather than weeks or months. Again, if we’re lucky, this isn’t something that you’ll need to know in order to stay alive – but if you ever do find yourself in this kind of situation, it’s knowledge which will be absolutely essential.
Don’t panic yet. In fact, don’t panic at all. When you’re well prepared for any kind of disaster that might come your way, whether manmade or natural, you won’t need to, either; you’ll know what to do, have your supplies at hand and be well prepared to make your
