Being free from electronics is challenging, trust me. We're a society that goes to bed smartphone in hand, and we have a hard time putting it down before we fall asleep. Coming from the world where our smartphones are attached to our sides will not make it easy to transition into an electronic free world later.
Do yourself a favor and take off one day, if not more days a week to be completely free from electronics.
3) You’re not taking one day a week to be free from all electronics.
Disconnecting from the electronic world for a day can help you in the post-SHTF world. Going from a world where technology permeates every part of your life to one where technology is almost entirely absent will be a massive culture shock – and one that can be avoided by learning to live without the tech. This is going to make your life much easier when you don’t have a phone to quickly call someone, quickly google that question or hop on youtube for a ‘how-to.’
Next, this tip is an excellent way for you to practice something essential with your bug out kit. By doing this, you'll be ready to bug out and actually know what you're doing during a serious collapse.

My thoughts exactly. Tired of that. Just post the points and kill the rhetoric copy.
Covered….. next? I lived off the grid for almost a decade before it was trendy. Lol
Number three is less than once a week these days, but all the others are pretty much routine.
Crap! Lmao you people think if shtf you will be able to hang on to your food surplus? Or your solar power? You are dreaming. SHTF…. fucking think about this. People are crazy as$#%&!@* So most likely its going to be a full on war zone. Therefore your best survival skill is learning to survive with nothing. Go into the woods and feel the earth. Create a trap because I doubt you can hunt. Live off the land. Trapping in itself is a hell of a skill. So many of you so called survivalist wouldn’t last a day without all your fancy gear. Try to learn to only survive with a pocket knife and after that no tools. Nature provides! Peace and Good luck.
5 is my fav

Being poor makes most of these easy to do.
Covered except for solar. But still power conscious…we bought a small generator last year thinking it would make life a little easier when camping off grid for several days. We fired it up once to test it. Never used it again. I believe there’s a #7 though. Stacking them up. A week (or even a couple days) camping off grid at least a day’s hike from civilization let’s you use your knowledge, gear, cook meals with the bug out kit, find out if your BOB really has what you need, and generally embrace the suck, but in a pleasurable way.
Yvonne Pritchard are you practicing?
Absolutely. Candles for light and rainwater to flush your toilet.
One needs to learn to survive of the land, because there are going to be bigger and badder people that will just take your$#%&!@*
I was kinda disappointed till I got to number 5. I beleive it kinda covers the previous 4 and is by far one of the biggest parts of actual survival in my opinion. Not a bad list for mindless click-bait lol

Well written article.

Before it was trendy…so, before the pioneers?
I worked for a portable solar power company Goal Zero for many years multiple small sources of power are better than one large one if one brakes down you have others systems for backup and to use for barter and don’t forget wind generators they produce power day and night I am and Army Veteran and in my 60s embrace the suck is words right out of the military don’t Just prepare with expensive equipment prepare your body and your mind remember the saying the Strong Survive that means PHYSICAL and MENTAL strength that’s #1 so put that damn phone down get your$#%&!@*away from the computer and start working out prepare yourself most people I see today are out of shape and not prepared learn hand-to-hand self defense techniques for combat not competition and if you need to take time to think about what you’re going to do it’s too late it should be automatic just natural instinct but remember the words of a very great man and friend of mine the best martial artist is the one who avoids the fight in the first place
Is this in preparation for the Cleveland Browns winning a football game?
