17 REAL-WORLD Survival Scenarios You MUST Prepare For

17 Survival Scenarios You MUST Prepare For These are real-world survival scenarios and emergency situations that you should prepare for now. A big list of the most common survival scenarios, emergency situations and natural disasters you’ll need to be prepared for.  #1 should be the Zombie Apocalypse (because if you’re prepared for that you’re prepared for anything!)  The Zombie Apocalypse isn’t the only kind of disaster you need to prepare for. Author’s Note: The zombie apocalypse survival scenario is a metaphorical survival scenario. It’s not meant as a real-world survival scenario, however, the idea is very simple. If you’re prepared to survive the zombie apocalypse, you’re prepared to survive any survival scenario!  There are many other things that could happen which can force you into a survival scenario where you could be fighting for your life or one where you need to protect your family. These are the most common survival scenarios, and will be the most likely real world survival situation you will be faced with. Severe weather of any kind can cause prolonged blackouts, food and fuel shortages, and in some extreme circumstances, riots and looting. Fear makes people do bad things and brings out the worst and most primal of instincts. We’ll start with the most likley as the cause for the first few survival scenarios. 1. Blackout Power Outage Survival Blackouts – Blackouts are kind of normal, and though we don’t think of blackouts being a disaster scenario it can quickly turn into a survival situation if the power is out for more than a few days. Water and food become a huge issue. The food in your fridge will only stay good for 1-3 days, depending on the climate in your region. 1-3 days is a long time when you have no power or water. This is why having lots of dry goods and non-perishable foods in your pantry is important. Water is also an issue during a widespread blackout. Water services might be shut down in your area if you’re not on a well or have city water utilities. You can die of dehydration with no water for 3-4 days. Gas pumps will not work during a blackout so driving anywhere is out of the question, you need to ration your fuel. Don’t drive anywhere during a blackout unless you absolutely have to. Also, without heating and cooling in extreme climate areas prone to severe cold or extreme heat can thrust anyone into a serious life threatening survival scenario. 2. Breakdown: Severe Climate Survival Breakdown: Severe Climate Survival – This is one of the most likely survival scenarios you will face. Picture this. You’re in your car traveling cross-country. Your car breaks down for some reason and you have no cell signal. Now what? OK, no big deal if you’re on a main road, and if you are near a town. It will be easy to get help. But what if you’re in a remote area, with very little traffic? It happens all the

Is Living Off The Grid Legal?

Is Living Off The Grid Legal? Yes! Living off the grid is perfectly legal just about everywhere! But, it depends on a lot of local, state, and federal laws, and whether or not you follow those laws. This article will help you sort through whether it’s legal to live off the grid in your area or not. Because we call nee to know the real answer to this question. There’s a is a lot of bad information out there. Is it illegal to live off grid? No. Off grid living is not illegal. However, it depends on local laws and how you’re living off the grid. To answer this question more thoroughly we must first define what it means to live off grid. Technically and literally speaking “off-the-grid” means simply living your life disconnected from public utilities like electric, water and gas. READ OUR ARTICLE: What Does Off The Grid Mean? From a philosophical standpoint “off grid” can mean anything from living primitively in a cave deep in the remote wilderness to a simple country log cabin in the woods in rural areas anywhere in the world. Off grid living has different meanings depending on who you ask, but mainly it’s about your home being disconnected from and not using public utilities. ‘ Off grid also means living independently and for many folks it’s about living free. It’s literally about freedom for a large portion of homesteaders. They love being free people. It’s about self reliance and living sustainably with renewable energy like solar and wind power. So is it illegal to live off the grid? No. Generally speaking. In some places however, you must (by law) hookup to public utilities. So legally speaking, if you are not connected to the grid (meaning public utilities) then you are breaking the law and therefore by default that is illegal. So yes, in that circumstance it would be “illegal to live off the grid” by definition and practice. In most places (in the US) it’s illegal to camp on your own land for more than 2 consecutive weeks out of any period of time ranging from a month to 180 days to a year in most places in the USA. Most counties have local ordinances which prohibit camping for prolonged durations even if you’re on your own land. Is Living Off The Grid Legal In The USA? Some local ordinances prohibit you from having a garden and growing your own food. It should be illegal for government to prevent people from growing their own food. This is a huge and growing problem as suburban areas and subdivisions have more influence over local law and regulations that affect more and more people. There is a “grow food not lawns” movement that’s happening and has been growing throughout the world as overly restrictive regulations encroach on personal freedoms and human rights. It’s a human right to be able to grow your own food on your own land. To prohibit that is a human rights

Electric Bikes Make The Best Apocalypse Survival Transport

OFF GRID BUG-OUT BIKE! WHY ELECTRIC BIKES MAKE THE BEST APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL TRANSPORT Seriously. I’ve been saying this for a long time. No one listens to me. An example of no one listening to me was 35+ years ago when I was in my teens growing up on the river, I wanted a kayak to fish out of. I talked to EVERYONE I knew, including all the boat dealers and my dad, I wanted a kayak so badly but no one would listen to me. They asked me what I was going to do with it. I said “FISH OUT OF IT! WTF you think I’m gonna do with it!?” Everyone, without exception said “You can’t fish out of a kayak, you’ll flip over. There’s no room. They’re not stable enough. It won’t work. Just get a canoe. Use a Jon boat instead. You can’t fish out of a kayak.” and numerous other lame excuses and ignorant naysaying they had no clue about. But I knew…I knew kayaks would make GREAT backwater, backcountry and inland waterway fishing platforms. Small, lightweight, fast, and STABLE if you know what you’re doing. You can get into skinny water and places you can’t go in bigger boats and canoes. Canoes are bulky and heavy (unless you can afford a Swift or another high end 25 pound composite hull canoe). Needless to say I could never convince my dad to buy me a kayak and we were poor so I never could afford one myself. Now…kayaks are everywhere. It is the go-to fishing vessel for ALL anglers who are serious about fishing. Every angler I know owns a kayak, and NOW fishing SUP boards are a thing…again, I saw a need for a SUP, the same as I saw a need for kayaks. Electric Bicycles Are The Same Thing to Survival As Kayaks Are To Fishing! They are lightweight, highly maneuverable, can be charged with a portable solar panel and wind turbine, even a hand crank, and SOME models of ebikes you can charge them by…get this…pedaling. Yeah! Ebikes are by far the worlds BEST apocalypse survival transport. It’s no wonder Special Forces uses them. Ebikes are stealthy, powerful, and you can carry more gear than if you’re on foot. You can travel farther, faster, and get deeper into enemy territory. More gear also means more food and water and ammo and tech, meaning missions can last longer, be more stealthy, and teams can move faster. They’re faster to deploy. Cheaper than other transport methods, and in a pinch you can ditch the bike and move overland on foot. They’re small, easily concealable, and in my opinion make the best apocalypse survival platform on the market today. IMAGE SOURCE: Road.cc Electric bikes make the perfect platform for just about any survival scenario because they’re cheap (relatively speaking) reliable, fast, quiet, small footprint, lightweight, and can be charged on the go with a portable solar panel. Ebikes are simply the best survival transport in this writers

Off Grid Survival Gear: 12 Things You Need To Survive Anything

Off Grid Survival Gear: 12 Things You Need To Survive Anything – Shelter, water, food, fire and first aid! This article is a survival kit checklist of the minimum survival gear you need to survive any survival scenario, including the zombie apocalypse. This is a minimal survival gear list of things you need to survive any apocalypse. Shelter in your home, if you have one, filter, boil and chemically treat your water to make it potable, stock up on rice, beans, dried meats/veggies and MREs if you can, and have a way to stay warm by learning how to start a fire. Add in a solid military type first aid kit. Some people are already hardcore preppers and survivalists, but most people aren’t. You probably know this already, but there are lots of people out there that don’t and they need to know what’s important to survival, and what’s not. There are survival kit lists all over the internet but most have a lot of needless items designed to artificially inflate the importance and value of the kit and make it seem like it’s better than it is all in an attempt to sell a survival kit. You only need a few things to actually SURVIVE. I’m going to explain to you how to survive the apocalypse by showing you what you actually need. You need the tools and equipment that makes survival possible. Off Grid Survival Gear Kit Checklist 1 Large Survival BushCraft Knife (for each family member; 6″-9″ blade) – Invest in a high quality survival knife. Personally I carry 3 knives. My larger bushcraft knife used for chopping, batoning, and clearing the camp area. A medium sized bushcraft knife for more intricate cutting and making feather sticks and starting camp fires, skinning game, and general work. And my EDC pock knife, usually a tactical type EDC (every day carry) pocket knife. All the knives are high carbon steel blades. No fancy steels needed. Just an average good all-round high carbon steel blade is in my opinion the best knife choice you can go with.   Full tang medium to large sized bushcraft/survival knife depending on your family member’s hand size. Don’t buy a cheap knife. Seriously. You will only be doing yourself a disservice if you try to save money on a knife. A knife is your #1 tool for survival and self defense in a survival scenario. It’s even more important than your gun. Any survivalist will tell you that if you don’t have a good survival knife your chances of survival are dramatically reduced. Secondary cutting tools: Hatchet or Axe – A good camp axe or hatchet is a must have for any survivalist. Without one you’ll be using your knife more, and that puts undo wear and tear on your main blade. Purchase a good solid high quality camp axe or hatchet. Folding Saw – The Gomboy Silky Saw (a folding saw) works great is light enough to carry in your pack and makes

Electric Solar Powered Catamaran Unlimited Range

The ultimate off grid adventure awaits with this new solar powered electric catamaran. Off Grid On The Ocean!? Yes It’s Here! Electric Solar Powered Catamaran Unlimited Range! Unlimited range meaning you can charge on the go, and when the batteries run down, there’s no refueling because the sun does it for you. So the sun doesn’t shine at night? So what! Add a couple 1500Watt wind turbines and you’re good to go! A catamaran is the perfect off grid platform for travel and living. Yes, you can even have an off grid aquaponics garden with fish, both saltwater and freshwater! You can grow your own veggies and herd in a refrigerator sized aquaponics unit that is solar powered and runs on the electricity you create from the surface of your new home on the water. Check it out below!   TRUE FREEDOM! Off grid living is about freedom and independence, sustainability and reneable energy. Living on board a large boat provides you all the freedom you need. And the laws out here on the high seas are in your favor! NO MORE BUILDING CODES! The oceans is a whole other land of freedom. Maritime law is much different than living on land. You don’t have building codes or local ordinances you have to deal with. You don’t have local inspectors telling you that you can’t camp on your own land. You don’t have to worry about building code violations or the city telling you that you can’t build your greenhouse or have a chicken coop because it’s a health hazard. You can still have all that, even on a boat. PLENTY OF ROOM! Besides the fact that the ocean is massive and it gives you plenty of room to travel and unlimited freedom of movement, believe it or not you can still have most of your off grid homesteading needs. There’s plenty of room for a small self contained chicken coop. Yes it sounds silly to have chickens on a boat, but it makes sense. They will provide eggs and meat for you on the daily. You could realistically house 6-12 chickens in a small coop. I personally wouldn’t have more than 6 just because of the space it takes up. Chickens would provide more than enough fertilizer for for your crops as well. Just build the coop over the aquaponics tank that you grow you fish in. Everything would be powered by electricity generated and stored by the battery system, solar panels and wind turbines. When your batteries need recharging, just stop for a day and recharge. You won’t need to travel too much. Even a few hours charge will get you a few tens of miles and that’s enough to get to another island in the Caribbean or Mediterranean if you’re in the East. Ok, so no fireplace? Yeah, you might be able to install a steel insulated fire pit, but a gas BBQ grill in the shape of a firepit is safer.  No cows or horses. But
