The
Coronavirus thread has evolved into a "prepping" thread so I thought we could move out of that thread. Post your hints, tips, and suggestions for surviving after a natural disaster or all-out SHTF.
To kick thing off:
1) Plan ahead. Trying to obtain food, water, etc when a catastrophe hits is going to be very difficult - you'll be competing for limited resources with everyone else.
2) People can survive for weeks without food but only 2-3 days without water. Food is important but water is even more so.
3) You will need some shelter. Hopefully, your home will be livable but keep a tent or other lodging handy.
4) You need to have some means of providing heat during those disasters that happen in cold weather.
5) Lighting (flashlights, lanterns) is more important than many people realize. Keep a good supply of batteries, fuel, etc.
6) You'll probably want to heat up or cook some food so have a portable stove on hand. Coleman has stoves that will run on gasoline or propane.
