Do you know how to prepare for a catastrophe Have you got the survival skills you need? Well you're about to discover how to PREP for any situation!... Disasters can come in any form and at any time. Worse still, they are quite likely to strike you when you are least prepared to welcome them. And when a disaster does hit you, especially if it's a strong, devastating one, you are likely to succumb to its fierce blow. Even if you do manage to survive the initial attack, you won't be able to last for a long time if you haven't prepared beforehand for it. The extreme weather conditions, lack of the 'normal' food supply, lack of proper shelter, inability to make a fire, attacks from other people and animals and a lot more can cause slow and painful death such that you wish you could just have died when the disaster first hit. Keep in mind that you can only survive for about 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without a synchronized body temperature, 3 days without water, and about 3 weeks without food. This means that if you are to survive post disaster, you must ensure that you get all these items in their order of importance otherwise you won't live long enough until help comes your way. Preparing for all sorts of natural disasters, calamities, and catastrophes is incredibly important if you want to live longer. This is where prepping comes in. Prepping refers to preparing in advance for possible catastrophes or emergencies that can threaten your survival. You can think of prepping as simply the art of living your life normally today while you are preparing yourself for any possible disaster, which may strike any time. Prepping is typically done by stocking food, medicines, important survival tools, ammunition, and different necessary supplies that can help you fight a calamity successfully and endure its harsh intensity as well as the side effects. You have seen what tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes have done to millions of people across the globe, right? Many weren't able to live through those turbulent times, but there were some who were successful in staying alive. The secret to their survival is prepping. If you don't want to perish when a disaster strikes you and want to help your family endure the calamity too, then you must learn and practice how to prep for various disasters the right way.

Download or read book Total Survival written by James C. Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing that no survival book can cover every conceivable aspect of surviving in every conceivable situation, in Total Survival, veteran survivalist James C. Jones delivers tips that cover the most likely needs of readers and for which there is useful and practical instruction. His goal is to share a variety of practical survival skills, principles, and ideas in an easy-to read format that will aid the reader in becoming stronger, safer, and more self-reliant. The ten principles of survival that Jones sets out are derived from analysis of true survival accounts. Studies of why some people survived fires, plane crashes, assaults, and other deadly situations while others in the same situations perished confirm that these principles made the difference. Although the data and concepts in Total Survival are derived from accounts of acute disasters—such as tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and epidemics—they apply equally well to chronic disasters, such as economic decline, shortages, unemployment, climate change, and personal family or health issues. In reality, all of life is a survival challenge, and a survival emergency is just a high-intensity life test. These ten survival principles are the key to success in everyday life, especially during an emergency.

Book excerpt: Defend what’s yours when catastrophe strikes with expert tips that go beyond food and water storage. Should a national disaster occur, how will you respond? What will occur when critical societal services cease to function? As a prepper, you will likely be ready to hole up and live off of your stored supplies, at least for a while. But what do you do during that time? What are your next steps? And how do you defend yourself against others who have not prepared for such a disaster? After the Crash covers all the situations that you may face when the lack of governmental infrastructure leads to social upheaval and chaos. Since most of the population is unprepared for a disaster of any kind, this book gives both the trained and untrained prepper valuable information needed to have any chance of survival in a world where organized government assistance may not be available. Importantly, he details the crucial steps you need to take in addition to doing everything other survival manuals advise. These critical tips go beyond stockpiling food, water, and weapons. Offering battle-proven advice, Steve Mattoon explores what it takes to survive alone versus in groups, each approach presenting its own advantages and challenges. Discover how best to defend yourself, what to use, and how to most effectively use the tools you have at your disposal. Whether you find yourself in a rural area or an urban jungle, Steve Mattoon’s After the Crash will prove an essential addition to any prepper’s bug-out bag.
