When having an arsenal of firearms at your disposal to encounter any danger you might face, you’ll need a good way to store them. You want to store your guns in a secure, inconspicuous space where you can access them easily. Keeping guns safe from your children should be a priority, and with the right storage unit for your weapons this can be accomplished.
Survival of any SHTF scenario entails surviving potential attacks from intruders and aggressive vandals, and for this potential scenario you’ll need to have an arsenal of weapons you can rely on. Most people wouldn’t think about a crossbow, but being competent with one and having one to use can be a benefit to any prepper.
Once you have procured a firearm, or ideally several firearms, your next course of action is to adequately supply yourself with the ammunition you’ll need. It’s been said that there’s nothing more useless than an unloaded gun, and when someone is trying to break your door down that is certainly true. You need the firepower to sustain you through whatever we have to go through, and when you have firearms and an abundance of bullets it provides a sense of security that will put you in a better frame of mind to survive what we have to go through.
What would you do if one of your loved ones started choking during a SHTF scenario? It’s a pretty scary thought, and when someone is choking they are at risk of death, as terrible as that would be. In a choking emergency, you only have mere moments to act. You have to get it right too.
If you’ve bought a crossbow, you are obviously serious about self defense in a SHTF scenario and you like having options that go beyond a gun or a sharp object like a sword or knife. A crossbow is definitely an intimidating weapon that can also double as a way to hunt deer and other animals for meat if that becomes necessary.
As people make preparations for numerous potential scenarios where survival will be a struggle for most, the thought of bartering comes into play, especially for those who think an economic collapse is on the horizon. When society collapses and the money is only worth the paper it’s printed on, trading the neighbors a bag of rice for a bag of flour seems like it could become a new way of life.
In my mind, the biggest risk we face is a grid down scenario, and light sources will matter which is what makes this battery powered LED camping lantern such a good addition to your preps.
While I’ve been able to find some decent canned seafood in grocery stores, canned meat has been a different story, even when it comes to that store people jokingly call “Whole Paycheck”. Finding something I considered palatable and something I would want to actually stock up on took a little trial and error. While it is true that survival food isn’t supposed to be something a foodie would rave about, I don’t want to have to struggle to eat it at the same time. Considering that I will be getting an abundance of nutrients and sustainable energy from canned meat, I want to be able to somewhat enjoy eating it.
Canned seafood is one of my favorite storable food options when it comes to prepping. That being said, I am not the biggest fan of canned seafood in my day to day life. Some of the Italian dishes I make feature anchovies, but aside from that I don’t really eat sardines or mackerel or tuna in my daily life. Anchovies would have to be my favorite, but it is a rare occasion where I crack open a can and just eat them. I think the only times that I do its because of a motivation to get more omega 3 fatty acids in my system, not because I enjoy eating them for pleasure.
