Making life hard — on purpose? Absolutely. Doing this will really make you ready to handle whatever comes your way when SHTF. Plus, it'll build your character.
The better well versed you are with a variety of situations and environments that make you feel uncomfortable, the better equipped you will be during a collapse.
5) You’re not embracing the suck.
Do things the hard way, the more productive way, the way that instills discipline and character in yourself. This will help you adapt to rapidly changing, often uncomfortable environments post-SHTF.
What do you need to do? Deliberately put yourself in situations and environments that force you to overcome your discomfort and find ways to mentally cope. This could mean taking cooler showers, eating food room-temp or cold, or walking to the store instead of driving. You could also eat foods you dislike, sleep with lights or noise, or choose the longest line at WalMart to learn patience.
So about all of that prepper gear you have. It's great having prepper gear, but it's as equally as important to buy knowledge. Huh – buy knowledge?
Head to the next page to check out what survival knowledge you should be learning and “buying” so you can make it through during SHTF in one piece.

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?
