With recent events, many are wondering whether we could have a nuclear attack in the near future; and, if so, how do we handle it? Even more importantly, how do we survive it? The point of this blog is not to instill fear into our readers, but to instill a desire to survive. It doesn’t pay to panic, it pays to be prepared.
These days places we attend on a regular basis such as malls, concerts, nightclubs, churches, and sporting events are known as “soft targets” for mass shootings. Sadly, a term that was once only used in military settings is now in our everyday terminology. Soft targets are places that have lower security and larger crowds.
When people think of preppers they think of paranoid people that stockpile food and supplies that they might need if SHTF, but these are the people that would actually be in trouble if SHTf for real. Gear and endless amount of supplies are useless unless you have the skills to go along with it because things don’t always go as planned.
Since the first day of fall has passed, it might be time to start preparing your home for the cooler fall weather and the changing leaves that come along with it.
In the weeks following hurricane harvey and now with the destruction of hurricane irma, these disasters have preppers thinking what they could’ve done differently in the moments leading up to the hurricane and how we go about cleaning up in the aftermath.
For some, the end of the world as we know it is near, these people are called preppers. A prepper is a person who believes that a catastrophic disaster or emergency can occur in the near future.
In the midst of Hurricane Harvey, it makes us wonder if we could’ve been a little bit more prepared and if more people could’ve gotten out before the storm. Although we usually have warnings when hurricanes are going to make landfall, their strength, intensity, and destruction can be unpredictable and you can only be so prepared for what is to come.
TEOTWAWKI (or “The End Of The World As We Know It”), the day that all preppers have been spending their lives preparing for… What if that day never comes? Was all that money and time spent prepping a waste? Absolutely not! There are other things you can prepare for besides TEOTWAWKI.
On Monday, August 21st, 2017, a majority of the United States will be able to see the total solar eclipse for the first time since 1918. It will span from coast to coast and the entire continent will be able to see the moon passing in front of the sun, casting a shadow on Earth’s surface. The total eclipse will start in Oregon at about 10:15 AM (PDT) and will end in Charleston, South Carolina at about 2:48 PM (EDT). Plans for a safe viewing have been in the planning for quite sometime now. The great thing about this solar eclipse is that it doesn’t require any sort of equipment to view it, but it does require special equipment to view it SAFELY.
An earthquake is a natural disaster that occurs miles underground and occurs either from volcanic activity or the shifting of tectonic plates. Earthquakes are extremely hard to predict so it’s even harder to prepare you and your family.
