Is urban survival a wise plan?
Absolutely! Learning how to survive in your own home is ESSENTIAL!
The only UNwise plan is when you don’t have ANY plan.
What can easily happen when we are scrambling to get a remote area emergency plan into place is to FORGET to have a plan in place in the event that we are NOT able to leave the city or our homes.
You may have a remote cabin all prepared and filled with several years supply of food and reserves….but what if you can’t get there??
First of all, anticipate what kind of situations that you may face… nuclear, natural disaster, city lock-down, pandemic emergency, etc… Would you have access to food and water? Will it be easy to get out of the area, etc…
A Few Simple Steps to Staking out at Home…
Food…have at least a six month supply of food storage in your home.- Water…have a supply of safe drinking water on hand is crucial and you may also want to learn more about the importance of safe drinking water here.
- Alternative energy… Many folks are tapping into the solar or wind energy systems as backup power but you can also get small generators for home use that will do the job just fine as well….
- Bug Out Bags… for each person. You can make your own emergency preparedness kit with some basic supplies found at your local hardware or find where to get inexpensive supplies here.
- Self Defense… knives and weapons may be something you want to look into as well. A good hunting or pocket knife is an essential whether you are preparing to bunker down at home or staying alive in the wilderness in fact, in ANY emergency situation!
So while it is absolutely a great idea to have some remote emergency plan in place, it is utter folly to NOT have some sort of plan in place to weather things out at home as well! There are some great prepping books available to help with whatever plan you decide to go with.
