If you have been paying attention to recent events in our country, its not hard to see a reason to start prepping for times of uncertainty.
Here at The Survivalist Guides, we offer prepping tips, reviews on gear and books on survival.
There’s so much information out there that it’s hard to tell truth from fiction. Our aim is to demystify topics on survival and prepping to give you the best information and quality gear possible.
What does the future hold for you?
Is the threat of natural disasters becoming more real?
Is there some form of social or economic collapse looming around the corner?
If I’ve learned anything from the past few years, nobody can be certain about what society or mother nature has in stall for us and we shouldn’t be taking our personal security for granted. It’s so important now more than ever to make sure you and your family are prepared to face uncertainty.
Survival mindset, wilderness survival and bushcraft all work hand in hand as key survival skills you need to know to not only survive but to thrive in outdoor survival situations.
Being unaffected by shock is your greatest asset in a survival crisis. Even though this isn’t what you expected, you need to quickly accept you are in the situation you are in. Your perspective is totally altered, and you get clarity if you plan ahead and imagine what needs to be done. It greatly raises your odds of surviving whatever it is that you are up against. For this reason, it is crucial to start preparing for a survival event mentally just as much as physically.
We have all we need from nature, that is where we came from after all. The method of re-establishing a connection with nature is referred to as “bushcraft”. Even for a short stint, being in nature allows us to find peace and escape the stress of our comforts. I don’t recommend just running out into the forest and living off what you find, but learning just the most basic of bushcraft skills can help your survival chances if you find yourself without your gear.
Fundamentally, survival is about keeping yourself alive and having your body continuing to function as it should. To protect yourself from the weather and keep your body temperature stable, you must be able to start a fire and construct a shelter. To avoid becoming dehydrated, you must find and purify water.
All that matters is that you survive. If you need to start a fire to keep warm, it doesn’t matter if you start it using a road flare or by rubbing sticks together. When it comes to survival, there is no cheating and any purist who tells you otherwise isn’t worth listening to. To ensure the survival of both you and the people under your care, you do what needs to be done to complete the work at hand. I concentrate on the most practical and efficient ways for you to stay warm, stay dry, and get to safety as soon as possible.
Prepare for emergencies ranging from small daily life stuff like a car breaking down or a power outage to bigger problems like natural disasters or social collapse. We often put things off and believe that bad things won’t happen to us. In the back of your mind, you know that whilst these more severe scenarios are unlikely to occur, there is always a possibility it could happen to you, and you need to be adequately prepared for the safety of yourself and your family.
These little incidents do occur frequently. The ease with which we can get ourselves out of trouble with the assistance of using a phone has spoiled us and has left many people able to think and work without them. What if the mobile service goes down? What if emergency assistance is unavailable or your location is inaccessible? What if you have to hold up in your home cut off from the outside world for an extended period of time?
It might be difficult to know where to begin when it comes to emergency preparedness. Those who are afraid of the worst are the target market for many items and absurd claims made by tin foil hats claiming the sky is falling every other week.
At The Survivalist Guides, our intention is to provide you with useful information and recommendations that are free of exaggerated claims, scare tactics, or straight up ridiculous advice.
Remember, the best time to begin emergency preparation may have been years ago, but the second-best time is right now!
