Emergency survival how to

[Brent S]

I was on a different forum and they basically told me how stupid i was. The one person that came up with a good idea was told how stupid she was. I know surviving the city is gonig to be hard but i dont think its impossible. I appreciate all the suggestions

I think the isolation from hordes of people will mostly help the people in the country but that isolation can be a detriment too. If all transportation of food and services stop, having more hands to help with daily tasks of surviving will be a big advantage. Neighborhoods banding together could have some advantages when working together. Personally I feel the country is better overall but we all work with what we have and can afford.

One thing I've done for years.is i pay attention to the ppl living around me.when it comes to what they say and do in everyday life.to how they treat others and myself alike.then there's their lifestyle. Etc etc.what i learn from all of that.will tell me who i can call on for a helping hand or not in the here n now.and in a wrose case situation. Learn who you can get in good with.including maybe doing a lil something for someone here n there.that can be a added plus if you need a helping hand doing something.

Yes, surviving in the city is doable. It does require different skill sets and knowledge base. The camo hunting outfit, may not help much, if at all. Knowing where the over looked water supplies are will help. Knowing how to open locked doors will help. Knowing how to rig a rain water harvest system will help. Having enough supplies to outlast the rest of the city folks is a must. If the average person/ family in your neighborhood has one week of food, you need at least 4 weeks. The same with water. I am not saying 4 weeks is a enough, what I am pointing to is you need to make sure you can outlast your neighbors, so you do not have to expose yourself to get supplies. My supplies are not counted in days or weeks but in months / years. Follow the advice you have been given by other member and you will do well. You goal is to out think, out last and out survive the rest of your neighborhood. Just like the TV show, except if you make a mistake, you get voted out permanently from living.

I'm not saying ALL neighborhoods will become dog eat dog hellholes, but only extraordinary neighborhoods will escape from the inevitable spiral into bedlam. Once there is no rule of law, and resources become so scarce that there is not enough to go around, goodbye nice peaceful neighborhood, and hello Lord of the Flies

What Urbanprep said is true. However helping your neighbors while still obtaining OPSEC about your prepping is ideal. Have friendly conversations about an approaching storm or other short term disaster situations. Ask them the question, what do you think I should do before this storm arrives, it might be a bad one? Then add onto whatever advice is givin.

You can then privately store some extra personal water filters (a neighbors entire family can survive with one for a considerable time. Store an extra few hundred pounds of white rice, it's cheap and stores very long time. Clean water and rice supplemented by small game and foraged edibles can sustain your neighbors for months after whatever food supplies they had is gone.

I have been looking for ways to self heal with nature. I worry about what will become of our great nation and how we can survive sickness after a major tragedy. I remember my father teaching me how to gather and what I could eat in the wild. This led me to investigate self healing through natural herbs and plants. I recently found this and was thinking about ordering it. You seem to know about some of these things. Would you take a look and tell me what you think about it? The Lost Book of Remedies
