Plastic sheeting is one of the most versatile “survival” materials on the earth.
It has applications in construction and gardening but is also used to protect things from the elements and in a pinch, can be used to capture heat, collect water, bind things and even as insulation in walls.
As you prepare for whatever type of disaster or survival incident you are preparing for, plastic sheeting is one material that every survivalist should keep in stock – at least one roll – for use as a material to enhance your preparation status.
It also has broad application in survival scenarios as almost every modern example of building construction utilizes plastic sheeting somewhere in the facility in question.
On the next page, we cover a few fascinating ways to use plastic sheeting as a preparation and survival tool.

I Agree
Dextertaught us all the value of good plastic sheeting.
I saw an ol man use black visquine over his garden. Poked holes in the sheeting atop the rows n planted seed/sprouts right in each rip. Not only did there no weeds grow, but his plants did really well. Never once did he re row dirt up to the plants, bcuz he didnt really need to since the dirt never much settled or eroded from rainwater. He used liquid fertilizer. But boy what a mess to clean up afterwards with all the dirt that washed up on top of it during grow season. Made for one fine garden tho…
