Tips For Living To Tell A Survivalist Story

By Diane Baker


Many people believe that it is just a matter of time before there is a massive and earth shattering event that will completely alter the way individuals live. It may be a worldwide economic collapse, a cataclysmic terrorist attack involving drinking water or a takeover of electric grids. They will argue that humans are systematically destroying their ability to inhabit the planet because of global warming. Whatever the event, there are things they believe are essential if you want to ensure your survivalist story is heard.

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.

Most true survivalists avoid urban dwellings. They believe that in the face of a real cataclysmic event, this environment will become hostile to the people who live there. They will not have access to food or clean water. Metropolitan areas will quickly become active breeding grounds for rodents, disease, and violence.

For best results, you need to seek shelter somewhere you have access to vegetation, abundant water, and natural sheltering spots. These resources are not usually available in crowded, metropolitan areas. Those who reside in rural areas and small communities will probably have a natural advantage. They are individuals more used to living off the land.

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.

You need to learn beforehand which plants are edible and which are not. Assuming the atmosphere has not been compromised, nuts, fruits and other types of vegetation may still be available to cultivate. Basic bows and arrows can be easily constructed from tree branches, vines, and stones. You should already have several good hunting knives before this happens to use for killing game and protection.

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.
