2012 Survival Guide - All you need and more! review
Once you’ve realized that people are going to attempt breaking into your house, gather the family all together and move to an area preferably in the basement. Hopefully your basement will still be functional and you’ll be able to move around in the dark. A furnace or boiler room, under the stairs or in a small cubby is ideal. Make sure the children and seniors are hidden firsts, and the adults can hide somewhere else if there is no more room. Even though you should not approach the looters directly, it is advised to bring some sort of physical weapon with you in the case that you are found and confronted with a weapon yourself. For the most part, looters are simply there to try and take your supplies – so ensure that everyone in your family is very quiet and abides by your every move.You cannot part with things like medical supplies and prescribed medication for your loved ones. Have them in an easy access location that you can simply gather up and take with you. Even if you need to ensure the safety of your family, there will be nothing you can do after they take all of your medical supplies in the case of an emergency. This is why it’s always advised to have two separate stockpiles of food – one that your family readily uses out ion the open and one that can be tucked away and hidden in a place only you would think of looking. Behind a panel in the wall or tucked away under bins of old family clothes or possessions will be great places to consider. In the end, these types of situations are all about finding a space for your family.First of all, what’s going to cause the end of the world? There are actually a variety of different scenarios that could play out: a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, a grid down situation, a famine, a drought, or who knows, possibly even a zombie apocalypse.Regardless of the scenario, it’s important that you are preparing to provide for both you and your family if the worse comes to worse. You don’t have to go all crazy and dedicate the rest of your life to prepping like people do on shows like “Doomsday Preppers,” but you can still set aside some basic materials and supplies.A Bug Out Bag is a pre-packed, easy to grab and carry bag (like a backpack) filled with survival gear to grab if you need to bug out of your home. At the very minimum, your bug out bag should have at least three different ways to start fire, water bottles and a water filter or purification tablets, a good knife, a handsaw, a first aid kit, an emergency space blanket, a tarp, a poncho, a map of the surrounding area, and a spare change of clothes.You’ll need weapons for security, and you have to know how to use them. You don’t have to go all out and build an arsenal of high powered weapons, but you should at least have some means to defend yourself and your family.There are three guns at the minimum you’ll want: a good rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun. A rifle allows you to shoot at long range distances and is very handy for taking down game. Popular options with survivalists are military-style AR-15 rifles (which are actually very versatile weapons), but many people who may be intimidated at the thought of having an automatic weapon in their home select bolt-action hunting rifles chambered for popular calibers like .308 and .30-06 instead. Your shotgun should be a 12 or 20-gauge pump action, as pump actions can reliably feed nearly any kind of shells. As for your handgun, the 9mm should be your default caliber. The 9mm is plentiful, popular and very affordable to shoot. Be sure to have enough ammo stored away for each weapon, and take the time to practice with each weapon on the range.Storing away food and water is essential: you should have actual food and water stored away as well as the ability to get more of it you need to. The best foods to store are canned food and rice as they have a long shelf life and are also cheap to stock up on. You may also want to consider taking up gardening to grow food of your own, as well as having the ability to hunt game if it comes down to it.In a true Teothwawki situation, gasoline will be scarce to come by. Do yourself a favor and set aside some gasoline in red cans. As a good rule of thumb, fifteen gallons of gasoline will last you for a week if you use it only when necessary (for cars, ATVs, and generators), so think about how long you want to be prepping for.A first-aid kit that is stocked with all types of bandages is absolutely essential. Tensor bandages, small and long bandages, gauze and many other first-aid essentials are important in the case that someone becomes bumped or scraped. Even if it a small scrape from debris, infections can spread quickly and without warning. Having the proper anti-biotic creams is also important. Just like you would administer a band aid and cream to someone with a cut in normal circumstances, remind them to stay calm and put pressure on the wound if it’s bleeding extensively. Kits that have specialty bandages such as eye patches or knee patches can also be valuable parts of.
