I used to teach and consult regarding emergency preparedness to individuals and on TV...
Just some quick notes:
- Have an AM/FM radio with batteries.
- There still is OTA TV, make sure you have a TV with a tuner and an antenna available.
- Have a method to collect, store and treat water.
- Have lots of bleach around for sanitization.
- Have a way to collect and dispose of human waste.
- Have a way to cook.
- Take pictures of everything in your home, and copies of your documents.
- Cigarettes (or is it vaping supplies nowadays) and alcohol is great bartering material. Used to keep these on hand when I lived in hurricane country. Also have cash.
- Lastly have at least 6 different ways to make coffee. :)
Take a Friday night and turn off your electricity and water then just practice until Saturday morning. Find what works or where you need improvement. Then do it again, this time from a Friday night until Saturday night. Find what works or where you need improvement. Then try it again for a solid three days.
I've taught many persons regarding wilderness survival and emergency preparedness, and honestly you finding yourself stuck at home is the most real world situation you will find yourself in, not naked in the jungle with a member of the opposite sex. And what I have observed the most, are people suddenly being taken away from their dopamine hits from TV, social media and their phones really messes with them and adds additional stressors in a situation. Practice not having these constant stimuli. It will make the actual survival part easier.
- senko 4y ago>> Assuming internet outage for somewhat extended time > Have a method to collect, store and treat water [...] Have a way to collect and dispose of human waste. Well, that escalated quickly.
- zikduruqe 4y ago> Well, that escalated quickly. These types of situations do. That is why you prepare.
