What will happen when society collapses? What would you do if there was no one to help you and your family? To prepare yourself for a disaster, just sitting anxiously is not enough - you have to be realistic, prepared for possible situations, and always be ready for the unexpected.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: If you have time to prepare
Collect the supplies you need to stay alive for 90 days. Survival after an apocalyptic disaster is not a short process, because the whole nation or the whole world has collapsed - it's obvious. However, when you have enough supplies in three months, you will easily accept and form a habit of having anything to use. The more preparation time you have, the better. When organizing essential items, think of the following two groups: vital items and daily necessities. They will be listed in the next two steps.
Buy and stock the basic (most important) items for survival. Consider the following suggestions:- Water bottle
- Canned food
- Food packaging / vacuum box
- Blankets and pillows
- Medications
- A weapon you know how to use
- A knife (add to weapon)
- Wear long, warm clothes (depending on the weather in the area you live)
- Handle bag (for convenience of movement and / or escape)
Stock up on utensils to stay alive. Consider the following items according to your needs:- The battery
- Flashlight
- Matches
- Pot (for cooking or boiling water)
- Plastic bowls, chopsticks, spoons and forks
- Ropes or hemp rope
- Map
- Markers do not fade (to write)
- Clothes to change
- Open / open tool for box lid
- Lighters
- Travel kitchen and gas cylinders
- Axe
- First aid manual
- Sunglasses
- Tape
- Glowing stick
- Boots
- Spare pants
- Smartphone
- Water filters
- Items that make you feel better
Prepare an emergency rescue kit. Whether you're dealing with cannibals, cannibal viruses, zombies, or meteors plunging into Earth, you'll have to think about your health first. Here is a list of what you will need in the emergency toolkit:- First aid tape
- Gauze
- Medical tape
- Antibiotics (for common bacteria that cannot deal with zombie viruses)
- Antivirals (for common bacteria that cannot deal with zombie viruses)
- Ibuprofen (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID))
- Acetaminophen / paracetamol (over-the-counter pain reliever)
- Antihistamines
- Aspirin (an over-the-counter pain reliever)
- Laxative
- Iodine
- Potassium iodide
- Hand wash
- Candle
- Multi-purpose tool
- Phone charger (solar powered is best)
- Firewood for burning
- Towels
- Life jackets - if your place is often flooded
- Warm clothes for backup
- Tissue
- Solar rechargeable battery (see below)
- Pet food (enough for 30-90 days)
- Tweezers
- Bandage
- Pin
- Thermometer
- Super glue
- Toothpick / nail
Always keep your body healthy before "everything". You will have to deal with cuts in the skin as well as illnesses, like dysentery. The hospital will no longer function so simple problems will become much more difficult. If you or a loved one has a special medical condition, keep the necessary medicine at hand now.
Make a plan to deal with sanitation problems in the long term. Urination is a normal need. To avoid making that a big deal, package the following:
- Toilet paper (a few rolls are enough)
- Menstrual hygiene products
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Plastic garbage bag and lanyard
- Shovel or small shovel to dig up the tree
- Bleach
- Soap and shampoo
Establish a communication system. Everyone in the house, family and friends should have a communication system to connect with each other.To exchange secret places with relatives and friends via radio.
- Always carry the battery with the radio. Should not be subjective that everything is already in place. If you have to take care of a loved one, make sure the "they" also has a radio instead of both.
- If that doesn't work, try to figure out how everyone will communicate. This is when you need a permanent marker. When something goes wrong and you have left home, make a note of where you are going, when you left and when you intend to return, if any. You can write on a wall, a stone or a car nearby.
Use a diesel vehicle. Gasoline hoarding won't do any good; The chemicals that are used to ensure the quality of gasoline will change over time. After about a year, the gas could no longer be used. There is a possibility that there will be no gas left at the refueling stations, but diesel probably will. In addition, military diesel engines can be used in lieu of other fuels, from kerosene to fermented leaves. Therefore, you should invest in a vehicle that can run other fuels.
- While in the car, you still have the potential to get stuck in it when the incident happens, so bring an emergency kit. Be careful and anxious.
- If this is not possible, you should have a good bike. There will be times when you have to run long distances in a very short amount of time.
Learn how to use guns. This is a way to keep you from dying or being left behind.
- No matter who you are facing or what you are facing, this might be a good idea. You need to stay away from bad entities. Regardless of who the enemy is, you will have a better chance of survival if you know how to use a gun to shoot it.
- Unless this catastrophic destruction is caused by some kind of bacteria floating in the air, then look for a gas mask. Bad people / zombies / other bad forces can still see you as an enemy.
- No matter who you are facing or what you are facing, this might be a good idea. You need to stay away from bad entities. Regardless of who the enemy is, you will have a better chance of survival if you know how to use a gun to shoot it.
Learn to hunt.
- Proficient in using noose traps. If you do not know how to do it, accept what nature gives you.
- If you're at sea or other waters, practice fishing or fly fishing. The amount of food you store won't multiply on its own.
- Learn from Katniss in The Hunger Games movie and practice your archery skills. Then learn how to make a bow yourself.
Read a lot about disasters to prepare yourself. You can read articles on this topic on wikiHow. In addition, literary works about the end of the world will also be helpful. Even though they are just "fiction" works, you can still learn how the characters find food, store water, and shelter. However, that shouldn't be the only preparation you need.
- In addition to literary works, you can watch movies about disaster themes such as: The Impossible (2012), San Andreas (2015), The Day After Tomorrow (2005) ...
Engage with people more. Honestly, without each other's presence, how do you manage it yourself?
- For most people there is not much we can do. Can you turn a lemon into a battery? Or turn potatoes into clocks? Or more simply, do you know how to tie a knot?
Find ways to self-supply electricity. A car battery connected in series would be a good source of electricity, but you have to find a way to generate it. A generator that runs on wood, gas, and motor oil is fine, but it's best to use renewable energy by making a PVC tube wind turbine and a car generator, or you have You can find solar panels near highways. When things go badly, you should at least have electricity and use it at night, as well as still have some electrical appliances.
- Having electricity in your shelter will help keep lights on and keep electrical equipment running. Electricity is important for tools such as machine drills, tools, welding machines, water / fuel pumps, radio equipment or other rechargeable battery items you need to use.
Method 2 of 2: No more time (aside from time to read this article)
Bring a long sleeve shirt and some pants. If you are lying down by the pool, wearing nothing, just wearing headphones and holding your iPhone in hand (then reading this article), get clothes to put on. Although a meteor crashing into the earth will radiate a lot of heat, you should still bring clothes when running away.
- Whatever the cause of the disaster, long, warm clothes are essential. Long clothing will protect your skin from predators, the sun and harsh terrain. A doom is not the chance to have a tanned skin.
- If you have some time, grab a pair of boots. If not nearby, bring a pair of tennis shoes is fine. You will probably have to sprint. In that case, make sure to wear warm clothes and the right shoes to run away.
Make a plan to escape. If for some rare reason your home is no longer safe, you will have to get out as quickly as possible. Take the map and run away quickly. Can you survive in the forest? Near water? Are you worried about your privacy and running away from others, or are you surrounded by people? The situation will then determine where you should go.
- However, if you can stay indoors then do so. Having a shelter is best, and friends and family will know how to find you. Please rate the situation now. The more rational and logical the judgment is, the better. You may want to stay, but is it the best way for you and your family?
Find a shelter. Although it is not a nuclear disaster, it is better to stay out of the dangers of the weather and avoid detection by predators. If it was an explosion that destroyed humanity, you should stay away from radiation as quickly as possible.
- The basement is an ideal place. A brick wall 40.5cm thick can block radiation, so you'll be fine down there - not to mention there's plenty of stuff down there. Steel with a thickness of 2.5cm will also block radiation, but only if you're living on an Enterprise carrier.
Find a food source. Your food source should be somewhere from human civilization instead of a strawberry bush or some fish pond. A grocery store or a newly abandoned house is ideal. While you are collecting your stuff, just grab a candy and eat it, because now is not the time to worry about hunger.
- Store. Don't think it will take days, think weeks. Grab some bags and start picking up things. What items can you carry around and use the longest? Outside of expiration date, weight and weight are also considered. Canned goods are fine, but they are heavy. But if everything is taken, don't be picky anymore, just bring what you can.
- Country. Store lots of water. If not, you will soon have to drink your own urine.
Prepare to self-defense. At this point, it's safest to assume that everything out there isn't going to be of any use to you. Find a weapon you know how to use and stay alert. When it's human, intellect and culture no longer have room to show it - do what you need.
- Do not expose weapons.Please hide it.
Search for other survivors. You have food, weapons, and shelter. Now it's time to form a group like in the zombie movie, but of course they have to be more useful. When considering asking someone to accompany you, think about what they can do to help you (after all, having more people means more mouth to eat). Do they know anything about trees? Are they a mage? Do they bring their own food?
- Maybe you just want to make friends, so don't be too picky. If you're not going to judge them by what they have, at least consider their personality. Do you feel they are trustworthy?
- If you are alone, pay attention to lights and fire at night. If you see one or more sources of light, go there and make friends, but only if you feel the results are worth it. How far is that light from you? How fast can you get there? What risks do you face if you leave? Are there any predators or obstacles on the way? Maybe it's better to be alone now.
Always be positive. This can be the most difficult task, especially if you are alone or injured. But then it becomes easier if you try to think positively. If you have kids with you, that might be another reason to be optimistic.
- Don't let morality overshadow who you really are. The rules are different now. Just because you decide to leave one person behind while the group is in a hurry doesn't mean you're cruel. Evaluate your morality accordingly, but also understand that the world is different now, and you must change accordingly to survive and thrive.
Advice
- Buy a survival guidebook. Now that the internet is gone, you will need a guidebook that covers survival during a disaster.
- Hide vehicles (if any) under trees or under bridges. You will not know who or what can pass by.
- Always in hiding. Do not reveal your shelter by hanging the SOS sign on it. If possible, go to abandoned places so that it won't get noticed.
- More and more powerful. If you are alone, you should find more teammates. Please rate the current situation.
- Don't let your guard down and let your guard down until you are sure it is safe.
- Don't depend on technology products as there's no guarantee you'll find power.
- Don't be greedy, share utensils.
- Do not give weapons to others.
- Carrying too much food will slow you down.
- Dried fruit will last longer than fresh fruit and is also a good source of vitamins.
- Do not trust anyone, even if you have known people for a long time, they can still stab you in the back.
Warning
- People will gather in groups to find the necessary sources of life, so the more, the safer. You should know this psychological state.
- Chances are you will experience or see people eating humans due to lack of food.
- Do not disclose your preparation plans to colleagues, friends, or distant relatives. It is likely that they are unprepared, and when faced with the incident, they will rely on you, or worse, attack you to steal things.
- Don't waste bullets. To use a gun, you must have bullets. If you squander them, you could die in an attack.
- Inmates who were already locked up in prison could escape and run everywhere. It is best to contemplate the worst case scenario involving people at this time.
- Security forces, whether real or fake, are not reliable in the event of a disaster.
- Rivers and lakes are likely to be polluted by human waste coming from water treatment plants and broken pipes. Diseases like typhoid and cholera can spread over a large area.
