SHTF usually only focuses on short-term survival situations where after the initial shock wears off, it's usually only days or perhaps only hours before the situation has passed.

However, not all SHTF situations are temporary. How can you really know for certain that when the grid goes down, it won't be permanent? You never know, a natural or man-made disaster could completely wipe out everything except for the men and women who survived in their bunkers.

The possibility of a long-term bug out situation is why survivalists put emphasis on knowing the skills on how to make essentials such as weapons and more specifically, gunpowder.

If a survivalist is smart, they will have already been stocking enough food to last them a long period, however, when it's all gone you will need your weapons to help you catch game. And when your ammunition runs out you're going to need to know how to make more of it.

After the break, learn how you can make gunpowder for a long-term survival situation and add this imperative skill to your skillset.
