10 Things Survivalists Will Wish They Had Post-Collapse

5. Fire

In this day and age most people never truly experience the cold. They just wrap themselves in a blanket and turn up the heater. Every year thousands of people in the U.S. die from hypothermia, and that’s during good times! Also, don’t forget that many foods need to be heated up before you can eat them, which brings me to the next item.

6. Cooking Gear

Imagine your stomach is growling as you stare at a pile of food you can’t eat because it has to be cooked. Although many modern foods can be eaten out of the box or can, foods like pasta, rice, and some frozen foods are inedible if they’re uncooked. If the power goes out, it will only be a matter of time before the all the frozen meat thaws out and starts to rot. When that happens, you’ll be wishing you had a way to cook without power.

Even though cooking gear is important, there are still additional supplies to consider. After all, chances are you are going to be out in the wilderness for a while. Whether you're alone or have people with you doesn't matter, you'll still need to make sure you have the proper supplies.

After the break, I consider #7 and #8 two of the most important, if not most important things to have with you. Without them an early death is inevitable.

    Most of what is said in this article can be bought in the camping section of most stores I like Cabela’s myself and loaded in a back pack. good stuff to have but do try to learn how to cook with a camp fire as it is not as easy as a stove.

    Colloidal silver!!! Its kinda on the list, #9. It kills EVERYTHING. Except you. IT KILLS MRSA. But nooooooooo everybody wants their FRICKIN DOCTORS and antibiotics. Ever since I started using silver for me and my family, I am a germ snob. I can’t stand to be around people when they have the sniffles, and say oh I’m okay, I’ve got theraflu. If they LISTEN I don’t get too upset but if they think they already know it all and don’t wanna hear it, I just wanna scream at them, get outta here with your germs sicko

    Who is the author that is overusing the phrase SHTF? Not everyone who follows Die Hard Survivor is obsessed with a collapse of society or an apocalypse.

    what i don’t understand is why so many people have negative things to say about pages they like or groups they follow, unlike or unfollow. Soo many snowflakes!
