6 Survival Tips You’re NOT Following That’ll Make You Have to Deal With Consequences

Remember that the internet will likely go bye-bye when SHTF so books will become your salvation during a collapse. This means that you should have books and also print out all that you find useful to survival on the web.

Sure it'll take a lot of space over time, but wouldn't you rather have the knowledge on hand when the time comes? So buy up all that knowledge now while you can!

6) You’re not buying knowledge preps, you’re buying gear preps

The internet will be no more post-SHTF, so all the things you use the internet to learn are going to be replaced by books, which will become your new lifeline. Stock up on books that cover any major survival factor you’re not a total expert on. Build up a library to replace Google in the post-SHTF world. If you find a piece of knowledge online, print it out.

Buy books in areas that you lack knowledge. If you can’t tear apart your car’s engine, go get the book from Autozone. If you’re not a master gardener, go get an organic gardening book. If you know nothing about electricity, canning, or medicine, buy books. You don’t have to read them immediately (although it would help you later) but you do need to have them.

**Bonus tip: throw in a few fiction books from authors you like but don’t read them. This will help you ease your mind later when you truly need a mental escape.**

A lot of these tips tie directly in with getting out of your comfort zone. While not taking these steps won’t necessarily lead to your demise, they may certainly impact your WILL to live. Having a future while relying on survival food and gear is a future that will be devoid of most comforts, so it’s important to be mentally ready. Embrace the suck.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
