Thanks!

Thank you for downloading this book. It should take you no more than one hour to read! Perfect for your lunch hour.

I’d really like you to give the book a review on Amazon, feedback is so very important and helps us to make the future editions of this book so much better. 

Introduction

How will the world end? A question that has been asked since humans could talk. One day it will happen, probably sooner rather than later. The human race may consume itself with nuclear war, climate change may cause the sea levels to rise and 95% of the earth’s surface to become inhabitable, a massive solar storm could wipe out our electronics systems and cause chaos, an asteroid might strike, a new strain of bird flu could wipe us out, a sudden ice age could occur, aliens might invade in search of resources or the second coming itself may finally occur.

Quite frankly, there are hundreds of doomsday scenarios out there. Some are plausible, some less so. Are a giant race of lizard people going to invade from Pluto? Probably not. Is there a possibility of a solar flare wiping out all communications and electronics sending modern society into chaos?  Possibly. Are we due a worldwide pandemic of a mutated form of flu that will wipe out 80% of the world’s population? Almost certainly.

If a doomsday event occurs, then many people will still survive it. There will be always people who are immune to the mutated flu virus for example. However, under any doomsday scenario a breakdown of modern society is quite likely. If this occurs, how geared up you to live without gas, electricity and petrol? What if you can no longer walk down to the supermarket and buy your food? Money would be obsolete; worthless. Law and order will be no more. In these circumstances most of the population would not cope. Firstly, much of the remaining population would actually kill each other as they compete for resources. Others simply wouldn’t have the skills to survive. However some people will be perfectly equipped for this new world, these people are the “preppers.”  Preppers are those that have actually studied the possibility of the collapse of society and have prepared to beat it.

In this short book preppers have shared some of their own tips to surviving a doomsday event and the breakdown of society that will accompany it.

One: Food

Quite possibly the easiest concept to grasp for any “want to be” prepper. You will need food in order to live. The problem you will have is that supermarkets will no longer exist. Food will no longer come on a shelf. In reality we are going back to caveman style.

In the long term you will need to grow and catch your own food, however in the short term that isn’t likely to be possible. In the first few months of any doomsday event you are going to want to stay hidden, possibly even for a few years. You need to be prepared for the short term.

If a doomsday event is predicted on the media then your local supermarkets shelves will be wiped out in minutes. Trust me this will happen. You have to prepare now.

You should aim to store, as a minimum, a one year supply of food for yourself and your family. In an ideal world many preppers look at storing two years supply. This obviously is going to be expensive, however, it is a far better prospect than fighting other humans for the last bag of pasta on the shelf in the supermarket. It will take some considerable thought as to how much food you will actually need for a whole year. Five tins of baked beans and two packets of pasta isn’t going to get you very far. Sit down and work out the numbers on paper for your own particular situation.

Clearly you can’t store fresh food. There is little point in storing frozen food either, in a doomsday scenario electricity is likely to stop. Unless you go really hard-core and have your own generator in place it is far easier to store dry and tinned goods.

The obvious starting point are carbohydrates, in reality this comes down to rice and pasta. This will become the bulk of your food supply. Another good source are pluses. Keep the goods in the bags they are purchased in they will last far longer than if left open to the air. Never store bagged food on the floor, vermin will find a way in. In fact a golden rule is never store any food on the floor at all.

Then you need to look at tinned goods. Tinned food is fantastic, it lasts for years and years and still tastes good when you open it. You need to think about your nutritional needs, you will need protein, you will need fats and you will need vitamins and minerals. The beauty is that all of these needs can be taken care of with tinned food. Both meat and fish are supplied in tins, fruit and vegetables also. The range of goods is vast, there will be no need to be eating the same food every day for the next two days.

It may be the case that it makes more sense to buy at least some of these goods from a wholesaler or cash and carry type store. The cans of food are far larger in these stores and are often more cost effective to purchase. If you are feeding a family of five, how many tins of tuna will you need to open? Two? Three? More? Isn’t it better to have one large tin than lots of smaller ones? Tins are also very easy to store and don’t take up a lot of room, you can stack them very high and thus the space required is far less.

After the carbohydrates and the tined essentials are the extras. The things that are likely to make your life more bearable.  A range of sauces in jars is a good idea, especially when you make pasta. Then you could consider things like gravy granules. Instant coffee, hot chocolate and tea bags are a must together with a combination of both long life and powered milk. Soups are another excellent choice, they are filling and are very easy to cook.

You may also like to consider stocking a range of dried fruits and nuts. You need to check how long these goods can be stored for safely, the last thing you need in your store is food that is going off.

Finally you need a store of salt, pepper, possibly sugar, flour and dried herbs.

One truly essential item at this point is a tin opener, with the majority of your food store in tins, you are going to need to get access to the goodies. A simple suggestion is don’t go for just one tin opener, as they all tend to blunt and break. Store at least ten openers and make sure they are different models. 

Two: Water

Right up there with oxygen comes water in our list of essentials. After a doomsday event you should never trust water supplies, even it appears all are working normally. You simply don’t know what might have happened further up the supply chain. Always be safe, never, ever trust the water supply! Rant over.

The obvious solution to this problem is to store at least some water in your food store. Do be careful about how long the water will stay safe for, ensure you have a list of when the water will go bad and drink and replace before that happens. I’m not normally a fan of soft drink, but again a small supply could be a useful addition to a food storage area. A sugary drink could be an excellent idea when blood sugars are low and tiredness sets in, especially in those early days after the doomsday event. Longlife fruit juices may also be a good idea to store, obviously they won’t give you the health benefits that fresh juices do, but it is often better than nothing.

I would aim to store no more than enough water to last you one month. Even then that is probably too much, we need a lot of water and it will take a massive amount of space to store any more. You really have to allow four litres of fluid per person per day! This allows for cooking, a small amount of washing as well as drinking. For a family of four for a month you are looking at storing some 480 litres. That’s a lot of bottles!

Ultimately you are going to need an alternative water source because you simply will not be able to store enough for any length of time. As you will find out, we recommend that you have a bolt hole to go to in the event of a doomsday event. We recommend that bolt hole is in the country, close to a small water source, ideally in the hills.

Your first job after collecting water is to filter it. This will remove any visible particles from the water. You may think that the water is clear, but you should never skip this important step, you will live to regret it. Water filtration kits are available to purchase and we recommend that you have a number of quality models in your storage area.  Failing that, filtering the water through a series of clean handkerchiefs and socks stuffed inside a cut open plastic water bottle is a very credible substitute.

After filtering the next stage of the process is purification. If you miss out this stage you are doomed to death. Never fail to purify water before you drink it. Everyone knows the best method to purify water; you need to boil it. Make sure that you are actually boiling the water, the liquid should be bubbling. And also ensure that you boil the water for at least ten minutes, this will be enough to kill all the germs, bacteria and any other nasties that might be lurking. All you have to do then, is wait for it to cool and drink it. I would recommend that you boil water before you cook with it as well. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the cooking process will kill the germs. It doesn’t matter if the water is boiled twice, better safe than sorry.

The other, simple method of purifying water is to use a tablet that can be bought online or from any camping or outdoor store. There are a number of different types on the market, simply ensure that you follow the instructions for use to the letter. Just be careful about tablets, because once the seal has been broken on the bottle, they do have a shelf life. Never exceed that shelf life thinking that it will be ok. If in doubt, don’t use and boil instead.

The whole process of water purification is one that should be mastered. This link goes to a fantastic little book that looks at this subject in far more detail than we are ever able to in our one hour read book today. I urge you to spend the few dollars needed on it. It might just save your life. http://tinyurl.com/bvlv6px

There may be an occasion when you don’t have access to a ready supply of fresh water. This is when you need to be really creative. The obvious method of getting a supply of fresh drinkable water is to capture rain water to drink. Plastic sheeting is ideal for this job. The bigger the better, lay out the sheeting in such a manner that the rain water runs down into some form of receptacle.  Trees are a good source of water if times are hard. By tying a plastic bag tightly around a branch with leaves overnight it should produce you a quantity of water by morning. It won’t be a lot, but it will keep you alive till you find an alternative source.

Yes, you can also drink your urine if you are really up against it, but we don’t have time in this book to talk you through the process of how you do that. Make learning this skill one of your educational tasks (discussed later on in the book.)

Condoms make fantastic water carriers if needed. Special services around the globe have been using condoms for this purpose for years. Choose the ones without spermicide applied though!

Three: Shelter

You will need a shelter of one form or another to live in after the doomsday event. Without shelter you will have to construct one of your own, which isn’t hard but is certainly time consuming. Time that would be far better spent doing other things. However, one thing is for sure living out in the open is not recommended.

You may have planned to live in your own home post doomsday. However, if your house is anywhere remotely urban this is not a good idea. Cities, towns, villages are not good places to be in the event of a breakdown of social order. Mob rule will take over and your carefully laid plans will soon be ruined as the mob comes in search of food.

Ideally you need some form of secret hideaway as far away from people as you can find (more on location later.) Your shelter needs to be big enough to have everything that you need stored away inside. Your food store needs to be in your shelter for example (obvious but it needs to be clear.) It is pointless having your food store inside your main home if you aren’t going to be staying there post doomsday. You simply won’t have time to pack up the car before you leave. Your shelter needs to be easily heated; ideally with an option of at least two heat sources. Finally it needs to be as secure as possible. This may mean shutters being nailed over windows. This is a decision that you need to take depending on the circumstances.   

It really isn’t a good idea to decide to live in a tent post doomsday. You simply aren’t secure enough and there is no way you will be able to store everything that you might need. There is no harm in having a tent or tents as part of an emergency kit. A tent will obviously give you protection from the elements and is far preferable than sleeping outside, but it is not a viable long term solution.

A motorhome type vehicle is actually a very good idea. You can have the required stores already in the vehicle ready for use and then simply drive to your chosen location at the given time. You just won’t need the big television that most motorhomes come with these days.

Obviously the ideal shelter to sit out any doomsday event is a bunker. It may be the case you want to look into the possibility of building your own bunker. (Again, there is nowhere near enough space in this book to do this.) Be warned building your own bunker is going to be EXPENSIVE. However, what price do you put on survival? There are reports on the internet (okay not most reliable of information sources at times) that China finishes a new bunker every single week. All of this is in preparation for a doomsday event. Some reports even say that within five years they will have created enough bunker space to house their entire population.

Whatever route you choose, you need to consider and more importantly action your solution now. Who knows when it will be needed? The sooner you are prepared, the better! 

Four: Location

The location that you intend to live post doomsday event is very important and should be researched at some depth. We have already considered the importance of shelter and having something appropriate prepared. But now the question arises where should that shelter be located?

Firstly, it needs to be in a rural location. This is essential. It needs to be as far away from the mob as possible. However, it also needs to be easy to get to in a hurry. It should take you no more than an hour to reach via motorised transport. Ideally, it should be closer to fifteen minutes away. Remember in the event of a doomsday event occurring or the possibility of one being reported on the media the roads will become chaos. Your car needs to be ready to go to your location straight away. You need to know at least five different routes that you can take to reach your location as quickly as possible. Remember! Preparation saves lives! 

An ideal location will offer your shelter some degree of invisibility. For example, a wood would offer an excellent location to drive a mobile home into. The trees would offer primary cover and then if you spent a little time on basic additional camouflage your shelter would almost be invisible unless someone virtually walked into it.  

Your planned shelter may already be there, you either own it or you can purchase it. It might be a countryside cottage, a rundown barn or a hunting shack. However, just because you own it, have access to it or it meets the requirements of having sufficient storage space it doesn’t mean it is in the right location.  

After a rural position your next requirement is proximity to water. You need a clean, fresh, natural supply of water. Essentially this means a river, stream or spring. However, never make the mistake of choosing a location on a flood plain, this is just suicide waiting to happen. The ideal water source is a spring. Fresh water gushing out from the earth, what could be better? Take some time to educate yourself about your local springs. Is one close to you? Is this a potential location for you to survive in? The next preferable source of water is a stream, ideally in the hills. The higher up a stream the better, the water tends to be faster flowing which means that any impurities are washed away quicker and there is little chance of the water stagnating. A location in the hills is far better than one on low ground. Think back to medieval times, the castle was always placed next to the water on the hill. Why? It was easier to defend and it gave its inhabitants a fantastic line of sight. If you are high up on a hill, chances are you are going to be left alone, in truth people just won’t be bothered. They will go and find an easier target.

Finally you need to consider the soil type of your location. The time will come when you need to grow food to survive. Those tins will not last forever. Unfortunately the soil in many hills tends to be thin and not that suitable for growing things. This is why hill farmers tend to concentrate on livestock, sheep in the main. So it may be the case that you have to find a secondary location close to your main location where you can in the future grow crops. Valleys below the hills are often far better places to grow and it will certainly increase your fitness by having to walk up and down hills every day.

The best way to find your ideal location to sit it all out is to get an official map, a piece of string and a drawing pin. Stick the pin on your home and then draw three circles, the first one roughly how far you can travel in 15 minutes, the second in half an hour and the third in an hour. You should begin your search for a suitable location within the 15 minute circle. If nothing suitable comes up, move to the thirty minute circle and then finally to the one hour circle. Mark down every possible location and then you need to put the leg work in. You need to go and visit those locations to determine the best one.

Five: Vehicle

You are going to need a vehicle stood by, ready at all times to get you to your location in the shortest possible time. The fact that you want to get there in the shortest possible time might suggest that the most suitable vehicle is going to be a sports car. It might be, but to be fair it probably isn’t.

In reality the most suitable vehicle is likely to be a 4x4. They tend to be heavy duty vehicles than aren’t going to fall apart if you have a minor scrape in them. Roads will be chaos post doomsday, in order to survive you may need to push other vehicles out of the way on route, a 4x4 is better equipped than most to handle this task. The roads might even be so bad that you might need to go off road at some point; there is little point in having any other vehicle other than a 4x4. There is no sense in having prepared for this moment for years, in having a great location with a superb comfortable shelter which is fully stocked without being able to get there.

The only other vehicle that you may consider is the mobile home. We have already discussed this option in a previous chapter. The advantage of this option is that you are taking both your shelter and your stock room with you. This does give you the option of going slightly further to a choice of location, however it does make off-roading an almost impossibility. You need to decide, based on your own circumstances, which is the best option for you.

Always ensure that your vehicle has enough fuel in it to reach your location comfortably. It is obviously not practically to always have a full tank; but that is what we are looking to achieve. Never take the risk of taking your vehicle out for the day and parking it up at home with next to zero fuel in the tank. No matter how tired you are, ensure that you fill up before reaching home. Also never scrip or save on vehicle maintenance. You need it available when you need it, ensure regular servicing occurs and when issues arise, fix them. You may also like to consider keeping an additional spare tyre in the car; just in case. Certainly you need four cans of the special foam that can instantly repair a flat tyre, that way even with four flats, you can still get to your location. 

You should also keep a mini-survival kit in a rucksack in your vehicle. You should always plan for the worst; use the adage that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. You may have to ditch your vehicle and continue the rest of the journey to your location on foot. Make sure your rucksack includes warm clothing, a survival blanket, a flashlight and two days worth of rations.

Finally ensure that you have the maps to your location secured inside your glove box. You should know your route by heart. You should practice the drive at least three times a year (in all seasons). Know all the alternative routes. Never depend on a sat-nav system, post doomsday they won’t work! 

Six: Health

Over the next few years your health is likely to be your biggest stumbling block to survival. Hopefully post doomsday enough people will survive to start rebuilding “normal” lives once again at some point, but how long will that take? What happens if every single doctor dies in the meantime? You can’t expect there to be any form of medical care for you after doomsday. You will have to take care of matters yourself.

Firstly you need to start looking after yourself as much as possible now. If you are unfit, then use the time you have now to reverse that position. You need to be as fit as possible when the time comes.

Doomsday is no excuse to eat badly. Fruit and vegetables will come in a tin, you need to have a good stock of them and then you need to eat them. In addition your store should have a good supply of vitamin supplements, these must be taken on a regular basis. As they say, prevention is always better than a cure.

If you take regular medications, then you need to find a way to stock up on them as soon as possible.. You might look at the options of purchasing more privately on the internet; you need to be aware of legal issues surrounding this of course. Always know the location of the chemist, on the way to your location it may well be worth stopping off to stock up on your essential medications (we aren’t talking a shopping trip here, you walk in get what you need and leave.) It is pointless turning up at your location knowing that you only have medication to last you 40 days.  Learn the locations of manufacturing plants and distribution centres for your medications, in time you may have to visit them.

A chemist should be a regular place you visit as you create your stock pile. You will need basics such as anti-septic washes and creams, plasters, bandages, headache pills, tampons, cough mixture, sore throat spray, etc. If you can see it in a chemist shop, then you will need it. You get sick post doomsday, mark my words you are on your own. The one advantage you will hold is that you won’t have contact with many people, hence colds and flu won’t be passed around with ease. Your only limit on medical supplies, is really based on how much you can store.

A medical reference book might be a good addition to your shelters book shelf. However don’t fall into the trap of thinking a simple headache is a brain tumour. If you truly do develop a serious condition, there is little you are going to be able to do about it anyway. You need to look to cover the most common illnesses and any possible injuries. Learn and research how to fix your arm if it is broken, believe it or not it is perfectly possible to do. Education is key, and you don’t need medical school. 

Seven : Fuel

You will need to decide how you are going to get the two basics after doomsday; heat and light.

A very experienced and well prepared “prepper” may have a generator installed already at their location. This will allow them to generate their own electricity. This is a very advanced strategy and opens up its own set of problems. Firstly you are going to need a fuel to power your generator in the first place, this means a stock pile of this somewhere at your location. Secondly generators go wrong; almost constantly. You will need to be skilled at repairing equipment and are likely to need a range of spare parts at hand to do this. Finally, generators are still extremely noisy, you want your location to remain as secret and hidden as possible. A generator is going to give away your position as much as someone pointing a great big flashing light over it! To put it simply, forget about a generator.

For heat, there can be nothing simpler or better than a normal wood burning fire. Stockpile wood beforehand in a wood store attached to your shelter. Also have at least a one month supply inside your shelter. If you want to be a further step ahead have a fire already prepared that simply just needs lighting when you arrive. Remember, even though you are prepared, a doomsday event will still be a shock, don’t rely on yourself to think straight for a day or too. If you can prepare in advance, do so!

If you are going down the wood route then you will need at least three axes. Remember to learn how to sharpen an axe beforehand and have the necessary equipment all stored in preparation.

Fire lighting tools are a must. Firelighters, matches, cigarette lighters are all very useful when you need to light a fire. Never rely on rubbing two sticks together, it’s far too complex. You should easily be able to store a couple of thousand matches, which should last you many years. Matches should be stored in at least three different places. You don’t want to have a small leak in the roof somewhere and find your only supply of matches is wet. Think worst case and prepare to beat it.

You can also use your fire to cook on, although it may be difficult inside a normal fireplace. Open fires are fantastic for cooking marshmallows on, the perfect activity to unwind after a doomsday event.

For ease, when it comes to cooking it makes far more sense to invest in a gas stove set that are sold to take on camping trips. They come in a range of different sizes and you can actually set them up in a kitchen area and leave them. They are normally powered by gas cylinders, you will need to stock pile these cylinders as well. However, do take into account the dangerous nature of gas cylinders. It would probably be worth storing them a little distance away from your shelter for safety purposes. Again, knowing locations of gas cylinder stockists would be useful for the future in case you run out and you need to restock.

When it comes to light at night you have a range of possibilities. Firstly your wood fire is going to throw out a lot of light so that will immediately become a help. Candles are cheap, easy to store and last a long time. But there are a whole range of gas, oil and battery driven lighting solutions. I would suggest that you have a range of devices stored (together with their appropriate power source) backed by a very large store of candles. Flashlights are obvious solutions for walking somewhere that is isn’t normally lit up – the outside restroom for example! Just ensure that you keep an ample store of batteries and bulbs at hand.  

Naked flame is going to become the norm, however you aren’t likely to be used to it to start with. If you have a family, your kids aren’t going to be used to it either. You need to spend time educating everyone about the dangerous nature of naked flames. You must all ensure that candles are put out before bed for example. It is also probably worth investing in a range of fire extinguishers, just in case the worst should happen. There is no point in beating doomsday only to have your shelter burn down at night! 

Eight: Communications

In the event of a doomsday event occurring our modern communication devices will more than likely become next to useless.

In truth, it depends on the event that is occurring as to what is going to get knocked out. If the doomsday event is a health pandemic, then actually the radio and television networks will still be broadcasting and cell phones are likely to still work. A massive solar flare, however will wipe all of those out.

Cell phones are likely to be the first thing that disappears. If doomsday is caused by solar influences the satellite system will be destroyed instantaneously anyway. If social unrest starts to occur then governments are likely to switch them off even if the satellite system is unaffected. The recent riots in London and the rest of England were found to have been planned on smart phones. Any government in such a position will be forced to switch cell phone signals off. Assume that you won’t have a cell phone.

The same is true for the internet; you are going to have to assume that you don’t have it. For many young people this is going to be one of the biggest adjustments that they are going to have to get used to. The internet works through our phone system, if the phone system is down, the internet will be as well.

You need to be kept informed of the changing situation as much as possible when you are in your location. Therefore, you need to equip your location with a television (hoping that the power is still on) and a radio. You can either get a battery powered radio or a wind up one. Radio is likely to survive for longer than television so having two radios could be a good idea. You will need to monitor a range of wavelengths and frequencies especially as the situation deteriorates and radio stations go off the air.

For communications between ourselves then we need an alternative method. A CB radio system, such as those that were popular in the 1970s, would seem to be an obvious choice. You can search the different channels and see if other people are broadcasting and then converse with them to build up a picture of events outside of your location. CB radio systems are still easy to purchase with many specialist stores on line. Like everything you should research what you are buying and how you go about using it. It stands to reason that the more you pay the better your system will be.

In the Hollywood film Independence Day various pockets of the human race communicated with each other via Morse code to coordinate a strike on the alien invaders. This is probably not a viable method for us as individuals, you aren’t likely to have the equipment, but it is something to be aware of. A copy of Morse code should be in your location just in case a message is received by you in this format.

Both televisions and radios are used for monitoring events as they unfold, you can’t interact with people on them. CRB radio is a completely different matter; you will be able to speak to the person on the other end. You need to consider carefully what you tell the person you are speaking to. For example, it wouldn’t be wise to disclose your location to the person on the other end of the line. Indeed this is the golden rule of post doomsday communication. Remember everyone is looking after themselves and the person you are talking to might simply be in search of additional resources. Simply put, don’t trust anyone, no matter what they say. It might be very exciting to get human contact after a few months of nothing, but you have to curb your excitement and remember to keep calm and stick to the golden rule.

Nine: Weapons

A sensitive subject for many, however you need to embrace weapons if you hope to survive long term post doomsday.

Firstly, you will need weapons for hunting. Your stored food will, eventually, run out, you will have to hunt for meat and fish. You might like to learn about snares, traps and driving deer into pits. All skills are useful. However, it is far easier to hunt with weapons.

Fishing is likely to be the easiest method of “hunting.” As your location is going to be close to water there will either be fish in the stream close by or you can follow the water downstream to where there is a supply. You could, if you wish, try to fish with a rod and line. However, you aren’t doing this for recreation or sport so don’t mess about – use a net. Stretch your net across the stream and drag downstream, that way you are more likely to maximise your catch.

When you need to hunt for meat then you will need a gun, a crossbow or a bow and arrow. A crossbow can be a useful, powerful weapon but in many countries they are actually banned so getting some pre-doomsday practice in is going to be tricky. A bow and arrow is probably going to be a waste of your time, the time it will take to master the technique isn’t worth it. To be honest the only weapon worth your time and effort is a gun. A hunting rifle of some description is going to be best. The wisest course of action is to get some education down at the local gun club. Take the time to learn how to shoot with a degree of professionalism before you need the skills. Go on hunting trips with experienced professionals; learn the skills now. Experienced professionals are best placed to determine which weapon suits you best. Then you need to purchase your gun and ammunition and store it appropriately at your location.

Weapons will also be required for self-defence. It isn’t a pleasant thought but a group stumbling on your location may wish to ransack it and take your resources. In this event you will need to protect yourself, your family and your resources.

One gun isn’t going to be sufficient, you need a range of guns. In addition to hunting rifles you might want to have a shotgun or even pistols. Learn as much as you can about guns as soon as possible and determine what it is going to be best for your own needs. Purchase them and store safely ready for use.

You may consider a knife a weapon. However, in my mind, knives are purely tools. You will certainly need knifes and you will need a range of them for gutting fish, butchering meat, preparing food, the list just goes on and on. But keep them as tools, not weapons. 

Ten - Education

Our final point is probably the most important. You need to educate yourself on all the skills that you are lacking. Don’t waste the time you currently have, take action on this point now. If you don’t you may find that you don’t have any time left and you regret what you have wasted.

Take yourself to a quiet place with a pad, a pen and a drink of something that you fancy and make yourself a list of everything that you need to learn to survive post doomsday. This may include something as simple as learning to cook.

There are numerous courses that you should take; a basic survival course for one, a firearms course for another, but probably the most essential is a first aid course. You need to know how to treat injuries when and if they occur.

Knowledge will be the most valuable commodity post doomsday. The person who has the most relevant knowledge and then applies it is the person that will survive. Take the time now, to ensure that person is you.

A Final Thought.

A breakdown of normal society will happen at some point, what the reason will be that will trigger it, no one knows. It is best to prepared for this happen, become a “prepper.” The list of tips in this eBook is not exhaustive, it is meant to be a starting point. Go out and educate yourself, start stock piling, find your location. Take action and survive.

See you in the new world!
