As a Prepper, you have surely sat back over an evening cup of coffee and contemplated certain shtf. We have witnessed over the past few years just how quickly one event can cultivate a series of events, typically not of good nature. If and when civil unrest breaks out, the best preparation you can have is a good plan of action against gangs, mobs and riots.

8 Natural Disasters And How To Survive Them
The threat of natural disasters is ever-increasing with the changing of our environments. From tornados to big freezes, our planet earth manifests its unrest in many ways. Altough you can’t prevent Mother Nature showing off her powers, you can prepare to deal with her moods and live to tell the story.
Martial Law: The Ins and Outs – Are We At Risk?
During martial law, the government can suspend constitutional rights and enforce an authoritarian power by use of the military. Even fundamental rights and democratic processes can be limited or suspended entirely. Any and every democracy has the potential for martial law.
Stuck At Work When SHTF – Making Your Workplace Safer
The vast majority of people spend more than eight hours per day at their workplace. We often dedicate a lot of time to improve ourselves and get better at our jobs, but we keep ignoring the elephant in the room. Few people actually spend time thinking about what they would do if the brown stuff hits the fan and they are stuck at work. Your workplace plays an important role in your survival during a bug out or bug in scenario and you should make sure you have a backup plan.
The Reality of Foraging When There’s No Food
You’ve seen in movies and TV shows how people manage to survive in the wild with the bare minimum. How they manage to procure food through foraging and hunting. Even more, they provide a false sense of security by making these activities look like a child’s play. The reality is totally different and few people have any idea of what foraging requires.
Scavenging and Salvaging Supplies Post Collapse
Where should I find supplies in a SHTF situation? If you and your family have not discussed this question, and a few more just like it, you could be making a grave blunder. Today we will discuss about scavenging and salvaging supplies in a post collapse world.
Situational Awareness And The Art of Survival
Ah, the conscious and subconscious mindset of knowing precisely what is going on around you, situational awareness. Sound important? Well, that is because it is important. Unfortunately, due to the defunct ways of Hollywood, the term situational awareness was slightly tainted by their “advertisement” of the skill-set in a well-renowned movie titled “The Bourne Identity” (though it was a novel first, and a damned good one at that).
Intuition in Survival – The Importance of Your Gut Instinct
“The primary wisdom is Intuition.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
A short on gut instinct, the sixth sense and intuition, and their dire importance to survival-type scenarios. First and foremost, it is of extreme importance, at the moment, to understand that this subject of intuition doesn’t only apply to survival and off-grid situations, but to nearly all of life’s scenarios.
10 Survival Skills You Need To Know
Camping reconnects you with nature, but it also tests your ability to adapt, think clearly, and rely on your instincts. Modern comfort and technology have made many people forget essential survival skills for camping, such as how to find clean water, build a fire, or stay warm when gear fails. Without these abilities, even a short weekend trip can turn risky fast.
Tracking Valuable Food Off The Grid
When you find yourself in a survival situation or off-grid scenario, there is one very important factor to keep in mind (notably so, if you are as carnivorous as I am). I write this article about tracking as I travel, by bus, across the country, and am starving for some good red meat, but no stops are in sight.
Things You Need To Survive In Hostile Regions
When traveling to foreign countries, there’s always the risk of things taking a turn for the worst. With the ever-increasing surge of terrorism and international drug cartels, you never know how you may end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Personal protection is a necessity for westerners who work or vacation abroad, that of course if they want to survive in hostile regions.
The Lost Art Of Map Reading – Part 2
In part one, we discussed what is on, and just how a topographical map can really be useful (especially with EMP attacks and grid failures constantly threatening our extremely “advanced” world). In part two of The Lost Art of Map Reading, we will explore more into how the compass and map work together, and just what a survivor should do should they find themselves without a map or compass altogether.
The Lost Art of Map Reading – Part 1
We could start this here article with a big long section on the importance of understanding how to read a map. However, I fear that that would take up every bit of the word count I have available. The number one reason, I am sure we preppers are all aware of, is the fact that with a grid fall (how unlikely is that…laugh out loud…) would take away our little magic abilities know as cell phones and GPS.
