FAQ
What medical supplies do I need to stockpile in order to be able to treat my patients?
If you are going to have an emergency situation with a shortage of any type of medicine, then make sure you have enough for at least three months. Stocking up on all kinds of medication, such as pain relievers, antibiotics, and cold medicines, is the best way to do so. You might also consider storing food. If you don't have fresh food on hand, it will take you longer to prepare them.
How many days should I have supplies stored away?
Ideally, you would like to have three months' worth of supplies stored away. That means having enough food, water, and other necessities to sustain yourself for three months.
However, it varies depending upon the severity of an emergency. You may not have neighbors nearby who can help you if you are in remote areas. You might not have a power source.
In that case, you'd better prepare for a longer-term situation.
Where do the most doomsday preparers live?
People who prepare for the apocalypse prefer to live in rural areas. Because of this, they are more likely than others to survive a social collapse. They also have a greater chance of finding supplies when there's less competition for resources.
To survive, you must have food, water, shelter, or other basic needs.
You should only go to areas with low population density. The less people you have, the easier it becomes to live.
What do I need to know before starting my doomsday prep?
First, you'll want to gather information about your area. How likely are you to experience natural disasters? Are there any major dangers?
Flood insurance policies are a good idea if you live in a flood area. Flooding is the greatest threat to your life during a crisis.
Insurance for tsunamis is a good idea if you live on the coasts. Underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis. They often occur without warning, so it's best to be prepared.
Next, you'll need to figure out how long you plan to be self-sufficient. How long are you able to survive?
Will you be absent for a few short days? Will you be gone for a few days?
Will you be living alone? If you are, you will need to bring a weapon. It doesn’t matter if it is a gun oder a bow & arrow. It doesn't matter what type of tool you choose, just make sure that you are comfortable with it.
Apart from weapons, you will also need tools such a saw, shovel, hammer and nails. These are things that you could use to build shelters or create makeshift weapons.
Finally, you'll likely want to stock up on extra food and water. Make sure you have enough to last for several days.
You don't necessarily need to purchase every item on the list. It is important to at least start.
