Home Survival Guide Index

Home disasters.

When the bread earner of the family is out of work or disabled for a period of time, it takes awhile to get help to pay bills, buy food, keep things going.  By having your own home survival kit ready, you can use it to supplement the food bill, supply the things that there will not be money for.  Cut the cost of utilities, so what resources you have will stretch even further.  Even IF you qualify for governmental assistance, it is always "A long time coming", usually at least 30 days or more.

When there is an urgent need to spend what money you have on cars, homes, business or loved ones in crisis.  A home survival kit can get you through, until times get better.  Having several months worth of groceries on the shelves or in storage can greatly enhance your comfort zone during trying times.

Other times that a home survival food storage can come in handy is when someone else is suffering through a hardship, instead of taking money from your immediate budget, you can share some of your survival food with them.  I do this quite a bit with our college age daughter and grandson when there is a crunch in their finances, her husband is off work, etc.  I make up a "care package" of stored food and send it home with her, I know they are eating at least for a week or longer, it gives her extra to pay the bills.  I try to give her things that can make a complete meal like  Spaghetti pasta with frozen hamburger, tomato sauce, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes with basil/garlic.  Canned vegetables, fruits.  Hamburger helper, macaroni and cheese, Au gratin potatoes, pudding, powdered milk, canned milk, etc.  It helps her out but doesn't hurt us by using our limited income up.

Natural Disasters.  These type of disaster are sudden, usually with very little warning.  They can all disrupt your life and make survival for any length of time a real life and death situation.  These disasters include:

Blizzards, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Floods, Heat Waves, Wild fires, Sun Spots, Meteorites, Earthquakes, Droughts, any and all drastic climatic upheavals and natural disasters.

Even if your home is spared the initial disaster, the utility services to it will most likely be out.  The power lines down, the phone lines, satellite relay stations, cable companies, water departments, sewage/trash removal services, gas stations, grocery stores, natural gas pipes all not working.  From the aftermath of Katrina, it is quite evident that some or all of these services can be "out" for very long periods of time.

Global CATASTROPHIC events, these are the real biggies, they are earth shattering, world changing and few  will survive.  If you should be one of the survivors, don't starve to death from ignorance, learn now what you will need to know to improve your and your families chances.  To survive the "big one" only to perish from stupidity is a sad thing indeed.  These will be the most challenging of times, your home will most likely be gone, with every thing else.  Learn now how to build a shelter, start growing crops, sprouting seeds, feeding yourself and family.  Learn now how to improve the chances of survival for all those around you.  By offering sound advice, suggestions, and help you can improve everyone's chances.  You can become a big part of the solution instead of larger part of the problem.

Acts of man against man. Terrorism attacks, Food shortages, gas shortages, nuclear attacks, bio-terrorism, wars, stock market crashes, economic collapses, etc.  Emergency preparedness now can help you survive these disasters as well, its all the same, get smart, get food and water, get medical supplies, get a means to produce more food  and water.  Download, copy and print all the information you can find NOW, printers, computers, internet will NOT be around then.

sanitation how to make a fast toilet, "dry" clean your clothes, bedding, etc., personal bathing can become an issue if you are not prepared, there are people out there that are so concerned about getting clean they can and will endanger everyone else's drinking water supply by "getting themselves clean and pretty".  Be on guard for these people, or you will wake up one morning and find 10 gallons of water wasted on their shower and hair washing.  After they do it, it's already too late to stop them, the water is down the drain.  In an emergency situation a slightly damp wash cloth should be all that is allowed, if the water for it comes from their drinking water ration all the better.

Priorities have to be set by someone that knows what can happen if they are NOT set.  A detailed list of do's and don'ts will be invaluable at that time.  Make it NOW, while your thoughts are about you.  Don't wait until the heat of the moment to make serious decisions.  see  survival priorities list.
