1) Roving criminals or gangs

Whether you travel on foot or in a vehicle, you will need to be prepared for gangs that are trying to take what you have.

If there are no strict laws in place, you will need to be able to either avoid criminals or potentially defend yourself.

2) No traffic lights

If there is a power failure, traffic lights will not be working, leading to accidents and a traffic nightmare.

It's up to you to drive defensively and avoid main highways. Also, it's in your best interest to download maps that can be used offline. Also consider stocking up on paper maps for city, state or even inter-state driving.

As all good preppers know, preparing for a collapse is about more than just stockpiling all the supplies you may need. You also need to think about and make a plan to deal with any unexpected situations or dangers to your survival. This includes knowing what threats you may have to overcome if you are forced to bug out. Being prepared for these situations may be crucial to saving your life!

After the break find out two more important unexpected dangers that could take place during the collapse and how you can prepare for them.

    Can we stop every article having to click next page to read it? I’m giving this page 1 more week. He’ll the articles aren’t even written by you …

    Here’s the thing of you are going to bug out. The fuel in your tank is going to limit you on the distance unless you have extra fuel with you. Most vehicles have a distance of 300-400 miles depending on size of gas tank and mpg your vehicle is rated. This applies to motorcycles as well but more extended miles.

    Agreed every time I click next page it tries to redirect me to an app. Yeah I’ll give them another shot then I’m done.

    Don’t wait for the TV news, you should be paying attention to the streets, you’ll know it’s turn bad yourself.

    These are givens, they are not really the main problem you will have. The authorities may become the biggest enemies as they work feverishly to keep law and order. They will have no way of sorting the bad apples from the good and will tend to treat everyone with fear and suspicion. You will likely have to try and sneak out of town, depending on the crisis. Quarantine, nuclear war, biowarfare to name a few. Travel light taking only what is necessary. If these are your biggest worries given on this site, you can likely stay at your house well armed and be fine.

    So much for this page being a forum for sharing ideas for prepping…if I have to click through a series of #ClickBait bullshit pages, I’ll just unfollow.
    More important$#%&!@*for me to subscribe to rather than this #shitshow.

    #10 is surprising simply because they want you to read through the whole thing and see all the advertisements

  9. Al Sims said:

    Well, I’ve had all 10 of those covered for a few years now. How about providing us with something new for a change?

  10. Tommy Luksha said:

    This is nothing more than an advertising waste of time. I am getting so sick of these crap pages.
    Goodbye #diehardsurvivor you have wasted enough of my time.

  11. Carlan Aronson said:

    Not going to click through 5-10 pages of bullshit just to read 10 mediocre survival facts.

  12. Micah Dolim said:

    You know, the federal government is always wanting to stick its nose in our personal business. Control our guns, our health care, everything. This is their job. Protect our infrastructure from terrorists. Their job is to secure our borders and protect our country. What the hell are they doing?

  14. Dana Kerr said:

    It is a shame that these must be listed, but maybe it will be of help. 🙂

    If it’s a total power out and transportation and communication is out. You are stuck where you are and distance to get to family and pool together would be hindered if not totally out of the question. Not knowing where your family is or where to organize how long to wait. Getting messages to each other.

    I encountered malware when I attempted to go to the third page of this article.

    this is part of why you need a cummunity to bug out with, if possable form a corperation, buy land and everybody work on getting it ready. Then you have a place to go. Then you need to make sure your bug-out plan has a back up plan and the back up plan has a back up plan. My brothers and sister have at least 3 bug out places. This way we only have to carry our wepons and water to get to any of them, with only one stop.

    Traffic light out = stop sign. Solved that problem. But then again, if people don’t know the traffic laws now, they definitely won’t give a rats$#%&!@*when SHTF

    “Everything you need to know is on the next page.”…
