This might not be for everyone, and to be quite honest with you it might not even be totally necessary, but building your physical strength in preparation of a disaster scenario is advisable. When things are chaos, anything can potentially happen, and your ability to physically respond to unexpected surprises definitely gives you an advantage.
You might say to yourself, “I’m old” or “I don’t want to go to a gym”. Neither of these objections need to become excuses not to get stronger. You can increase your strength at any age, and you most certainly don’t have to go to a gym.
Survival is ultimately physically taxing. Chances are, you probably won’t have trouble sleeping at night after everything you’ll go through during the day. Even if you don’t partake in any survival activity that requires physical exertion, you will be fatigued just from the mental aspects of weathering the storm.
How Do You Get Stronger?
To put it simply, you want to build some muscle mass. Having some extra muscle on your body will give you the strength to handle any situation at hand, and will also give you the strength to persevere through the difficult days and nights we endure.
If you just can’t see yourself adopting the habit of exercise or gaining strength doesn’t appeal to you, that is ultimately ok. You can certainly still survive whatever scenario brings us to a SHTF abrupt change.
