How To Survive The Apocalypse ?
Things don't look good from my part of the world here, neither the rest of the world!8,597,407 current Covid-19 cases and soaring, pope endorsing same sex unions, messy US elections, wars, occupations, hurricanes, floods, fires, terrorisms, many psychos going nuts all over the world and many many more shites going on, the entire world is so f*cked up.
I've watched TWD up to Season 7, Outbreak, Virus and other end of the world movies , more than enough to educate me on how to be prepared for the apocalypse.
They say get out of the city as soon as you can, with collapsed economy and useless government, supermarkets and food suppliers will be looted, find a quiet place near some water source and with fertile lands so you can plant and become self reliant. I'm surrounded by desserts here, f*ck!!! closest source of water to me is the Dead Sea, too salty for the fish to survive so I guess, I won't be going anywhere else.
First sensible thing to do is hoard bottled waters and foods, canned, dehydrated foods , pulses , medicines, yes some Xanax would be handy, disinfectant, sterile wipes and lots of tissues ??? Good thing, I've started collecting some this.
A couple of days ago, I found myself submerging some carrots in the water, hoping to see some roots in the next few days or so. I'm planning to plant them in a big pot so I will at least have my own source of carrots when the supply finally runs out. I'm thinking maybe I can plant some potatoes in the big pots too ? I'm getting some herbs this weekend and some bok choy cabbage & tomatoes would be nice. I have a little place here with good access to sunlight so I think it's time to use it wisely.
I have yet to prepare a bug out bag. I was checking online on what essentials should be in my bug out bag and below are what they listed :
Water, Water treatment method: Such as a filter,water purification tabs, etc.
Tent or tarp or sleeping bag, survival food such as protein bars or MREs, some canned foods
matches stored in a water proof container, first aid kit
Self-defense weapon, have no firearms but I have pepperspray and some kitchen knives so I will be armed to the teeth. Hygiene kit, change of clothes, rain jacket, boots, paracord and ropes, heavy duty gloves, face mask, Emergency light, flashlight, chemical lights…
Cash: At least $50 is recommended
Compass and maps , I have a messed up sense of direction so I don't think this would help me.
Survival stove and cook set, folding shovel, trash bags, spare batteries, duck tape
Charging kit, best would be the portable solar power bank. and some cards for entertainment
Just thinking of those listed items, I can already feel the heavy weight of my bug out bag
well another survivalist recommended condoms, lots of it, featherweight, ultracompact and durable, condoms (nonlubricated, please) can be used as a makeshift canteen to store water, a fire starter or as elastic bands for an improvised slingshot to hunt small game
Better to be prepared than sorry
Any other suggestions ?

You couldn't have timed this blog any Better ...
You'll have to protect your carrots & herbs from marauders, Crazy.
A couple pieces of old pipe, a nail firing pin, a board & duct tape ...
Badda-bing Badda-BOOM! ... Ya got yourself a slam fire 12 gauge shotgun!
jackolantern:
I get that.
One still has viable (i.e. LETHAL as Hell) carrot & herb protection options -
This very informative tutorial explores a Zombie Apocalypse slingshot ...
That thing's Heap Big Zombie Medicine, Redd Ryder!!
Seriously! That "slingshot" can drop anything currently walking the Planet -
We're talkin' African big game - like stopping a charging rhinoceros, y'all!
DAYUM!!
MadMax, 2021...now I need to figure out some more survival tricks, maybe some leather outfits would help...
I thought you're in Florida, so moved to Montana, how is it there ?
sounds like you're giving up already, where's your fighting spirit ?!
even if have a shotgun, I don't have deer nor buffalos to gun down here. I'm not sure if I can even pull the trigger , I'm more likely to barricade or just run fast.
I was telling my friends earlier, I might consider raising some chickens and ducks inside my apartment, good source of protein...and maybe some aquarium, not bad to have some fresh " seafoods" too
we are not allowed to open carry weapons here...I guess I will just have to appeal to the enemy's better nature
that's a lot of good ideas there...I think I'm good at scavenging
what worries me is that part in The Walking Dead where they ate Bob's leg, I so hope people wont opt to that as the last resort
I'm all prepared to leave this planet.
No, we still need you here
Don't you remember?
No..Crazy needs the four Fs..for survival
FEAR. .FOOD..FIGHT..F---
Like oil in an engine isnt it safe to say that oil in the earth is what creates a smooth transition as the eearth naturally cycles its top layer of soil via earthquakes? Take the oil away and you get a more jagged earthquake like that of a conveyor belt with soil on it. The oil between the tectonic plates creates that smooth transition.
Also, two thirds of the world's population will perish via an earthquake according to Zechariah's prediction in chapter 13 fyi different versions have different outcomes but in simple terms consumed by the earth is a more accurate prescription imo. Assuming the house of david is referring to our world.
of course I know your name, I simply miss your Minerva name
thank you, that's a good additional info in this blog..let's hope and pray that won't happen,
this too shall pass...
You need to travel light so you can move swiftly. You can gather as you move along, you just want to make sure you have light weight nurishing food and clean water....you might consider a filtration straw and a fire starter kit too to be on the safe survival side. A mylar emergency blanket and some salt might come in handy too
they strongly recommended to gather supplies enough for 72 hours, but yes, I'll try to travel light
