Preparing physically

1) Have an abundant clean water supply, and ways to filter water that does not require electricity, like the Berkey Light Water Filter.
You can actually survive without food for months, but without water you would die after a few days, so needless to say, water is absolutely essential for all living things, and the most important nutrient for optimal health and avoiding disaster.  Learn more about the health benefit of drinking water Here
2) Buy Stored Food. Go To Costco, Sams Club or your favorite grocer and stock up on things that you would normally eat in the future.
The problem with food in the stores, they have a much shorter shelf life, and are generally unhealthy because of all the additives inside it.
It is best to buy organic natural foods that have a shelf life of 15 or more years. Plus, if you use this food in 15 years, you would be saving a lot if you consider inflation through out the years.       To get 12 Servings of Gourmet Food Reserves, Click Here.
3) Be able to make your own food through gardening or sprouting.

Heirloom non-hybrid seeds are the best, for you can have a supply of seeds forever if you harvest the seeds after the season is over.
4) Adequate shelter, protection from weather or intruders even if you need to abandoned your current home.
5) Maintain good health, so you need not rely on Doctors or medicine.  Learn 9 Steps to Keep the Doctor Away Here.
6) Have the ability to produce alternate power/electricity (i.e. generators, solar, wind, batteries, converters, etc)
7) Have cash on hand or ways/products to barter for essentials that you may need, but don’t have.

Preparing Mentally

Educate yourself with books on survival skills like gardening, hunting, cooking, canning, practical maintenance repair.
9) Think Biblically: Renew mind on the truth of God’s Word (Romans 12:2), will keep you thinking rightly, and will also effect your attitude and behaviors

Preparing Spiritually

10) Nurturing your Relationship with God through prayer, Bible Study, and fellowship with other Believers

11) Pray to your Creator, asking for wisdom, increased your relationship with Him

12) Join a community of like-minded people, also helps to strengthen your position with the skills of others you may not have and encourage you to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Regardless if anything will happen this year or next, it is wise to prepare.
It is best to be 15 years ahead, than one day to late.

1) Great investment
With the possibility of economic collapse or hyper inflation, your money may be worthless in 15 years, but food could be worth more than gold in a situation where there is no food around. Last days (Rev. 6:6), A quart of wheat for a denarius, (it would cost a day’s wage to buy the ingredients for a loaf of bread)

2) Beat Inflation or Spike In Food Prices
To hedge against inflation or a possible food price increase, stored food will definitely perform greater in the long run. If crops fail in some parts of the world one year causing a drastic rise in the price of food, it would be beneficial to have stored food to rely on. You are literally grocery shopping for the future at today’s prices.
3) Insurance from weather-related disasters or times when unable to buy your own food
If you are unable to leave your home or the storms disrupt food supply transportation lines, your family will be able to stay safely in your home with enough to eat; Storms and weather make food impossible to transport, destroy crops and isolate people from supplies. Food storage is a form of insurance.  You buy it now in case you need it in the future.

4) Stress Reliever In Times Of Family Crisis Like Job Loss, Sickness, Financial Setbacks
Having food stored during this time takes away the stress of paying for food, and provides the money to be used for other necessities. Several weeks or months worth of food and supplies could make a tough time a little easier. Knowing you are prepared to cope with what comes your way is a great stress reliever. If in quarantines, martial law, disasters and emergencies people don’t have their own individual supplies, they will be dependent and helpless.
5) Able to Help Others
You can be generous and loving when you’re able to provide something tangible to someone in need.  It’s a great feeling to gather together a few bags of groceries and deliver them to a desperate family. You will be in a position to help your close friends or family if a disaster strikes them.
Whatever your motivation, think of storing food as an investment, insurance, stress reliever, and a practical way to help those in need.

None of these things may result in a Last Days or end of the world scenario, but knowing those days may be coming soon, it would be even more reasonable to be 15 years prepared rather than one day to late. So what are you waiting for?

On average, you want enough food stored away to feed your family for NINE MONTHS (some places twelve). You need enough food to keep you alive until you can grow your own.
So basically, you need to be ready with short-term fixes (like food storage) and long-term sustainable solutions (like survival gardening).

How would you feed your family if the food system completely collapses with no hope of return in our lifetime?

Although Storing Food is important, but you can’t live off beans and dried rice forever. You’re gonna run out eventually.

Fortunately, there’s a simpler, healthier and tastier solution: Plant a garden with Heirloom seeds.

Sounds simple. It is. Or at least… it was. It still can be simple, but you have to know how to avoid the pitfalls of modern agricultural and profit-driven home garden suppliers.

Done right, your backyard can feed your entire family, year after year after year.

For example, we’ve all read how airlines have been affected by the no-fly rules, and it’s easy from there to understand that the airlines are losing money. But consider the millions of passengers who would have flown home or to business destinations who have not been able to complete their journeys. Reports of passengers who have been stranded and are completely broke are growing, and it’s painful to contemplate how desperate they must be, stuck in an airport in a foreign country with no money and no way to get home to family and work.

I’m sure there are also many more stories of regular delivery of medication and other important supplies that are often transported by air that have been affected. If the eruption was much worse, I’ve been told it would begin to affect technology far beyond commercial airline flights.

And let’s not forget that volcanic eruptions can bring about substantial climate change-the authentic kind, mind you-and that climate change can lead to societal unrest, like the French Revolution, which historians now believe was in part the result of a famine which was brought about by volcanic eruptions in Iceland.

In just a few short years we’ve seen natural disasters altering the lives of individuals, communities and now entire continents. There was Katrina, then the Indian Ocean tsunami, the earthquakes in Chile, Haiti and China, and most recently the volcanic eruptions disrupting travel and commerce in Europe.

Few places in the world are safe from any kind of natural disaster, so use each of these events as a reminder to evaluate your own personal plans and the natural disasters that may pose a risk to you and your loved ones. Consider how you might be affected, and what your plans should be, to deal with catastrophic natural disasters in your community.

Questions to ask yourself:

What if the power is out?

What if the banking system isn’t working?

What if the roads are closed?

What if the grocery stores have no food?

What if communications are disrupted?

What if there is a deadly, contagious disease spreading?

What if there are no emergency services (fire, ambulance, police) functioning?

What if there are gangs roaming the community?

What if any of the above persists for more than a few hours or days?

When it comes to preparing for disasters, whether a short-term situation such as a weather related event, or long-term such as an economic collapse, communications is a vital part of survival preparedness. One should carefully consider how they will communicate with family, neighbors, allies, etc. as well as how they will receive information about the situation.

When selecting radio equipment, there are some key factors one must consider.Today we will briefly discuss band selection, power options, security, and size.Keep in mind that the best option is always the one that is tailor made to best fit a particular situation and set of circumstances. A careful evaluation of those factors will greatly aid in proper radio selection

There are three main options for survival radio bands or frequency ranges. They are Ultra High Frequency (UHF), Very High Frequency (VHF), and High Frequency (HF). Each band has its upside and its downside. UHF has a very short radio wavelength that allows for a short antenna, but it also limits the range since it is adversely affected by obstacles. VHF offers greater range and is less affected by buildings and terrain features, but requires a longer antenna for optimum performance.This band is very popular in marine and aviation uses. HFhas the potential for around the world communications, but is the most technically challenging to use. A more thorough understanding of radio wave propagation and antenna theory is required to utilize HF radios to their highest potential.

Armed with a basic understanding of the different bands, one can begin to select radios for a particular situation. The ultimate setup would be a selection of different radios, though this may not always be practical. A good HF base station with a few handheld UHF radios would be great and will be more than sufficient in most situations.

Power source is critical when it comes to survival radios. When referring to power, we are referring both to how the radio is powered and to how that power source is recharged. Basic power options are battery power (DC) and residential (AC). Though many base station units operate using AC, in a survival situation we should stick to equipment that runs on batteries as AC will likely be unavailable other than in the form of generators.

There are two main options for batteries. Off the shelf batteries, such as AA are a good start. This will allow you to stockpile batteries and not be dependent on any other source of power. The downsides are the limited number you are able to stockpile and shelf life. Eventually some sort of rechargeable system will be required. Once there, your options are to recharge from a generator, solar or from a vehicle.Once again this becomes a matter of your particular needs and circumstances.The best all around solution is a radio that can use both off-the-shelf batteries and a high capacity rechargeable battery pack that can be recharged from both AC and 12 volt vehicle systems. With today’s options, this is not a lot to ask for.

In the digital age, encryption has become a much simpler process and nearly all radios offer some degree of security. From the cheap FRS radios to the high end commercial units that offer computerized security options, radio security is more widely available than ever.However, one must keep in mind from whom one is securing communications.If it is from your neighbor down the street, basic encryption is generally sufficient and highly effective. If you’re trying to hide from a three letter government agency, no level of off the shelf radio encryption will suffice.If you are in dire need of secure communications, I suggest you study the use of code-words, one time pads etc. and never depend on any form of electronic encryption.

As for size, survival radios will either be classified as handheld/man portable, vehicle mounted or base stations. Once again, selection should be based on your particular situation. Keep in mind that the larger the unit, the greater its range, but also the greater its power consumption. If you plan to bug out to the hills, a base station will be useless and handheld units are the practical option. But if you plan to remain on a homestead a base station can be powered with a generator, solar, hydroelectric, etc. and will give you world-wide capabilities.

You should now be ready to begin evaluating your radio requirements and preparing your communications plan. Remember, radios, as a means of communication, are useless if the people you wish to talk to are not using compatible equipment. Make sure those with whom you plan talk to are as prepared as you are and discuss communications protocols well before you need to use them.Test your radios frequently and practice using them with your family and neighbors. The more you learn about radio fundamentals the better your communications abilities will be when the time comes to use them for real.

In To Start a Fire, Jack London exemplified the difficulties one faces when starting a fire in a seriously adverse survival situation. Since we always plan for the worst, our fire starting tools must be up to the task. All survival tools, including fire starters, should have the following characteristics.

- They should be capable of functioning in as many situations and conditions as possible. I refer to this as versatility.

- They should make minimum use of breakable mechanical parts. You need something reliable.

- They should be of a practical size for their given purpose. Portability is extremely important in a survival situation.

- They should be durable-something that can be used over and over again.

- Your tools should all have a long shelf life; they might have to endure harsh conditions in long-term storage.

Now let’s discuss the three most common types of modern fire making tools and see how each fares under the above criteria.

- Matches – Matches are the simplest modern fire starters. They are simple and contain no moving parts. They are small and extremely portable.They function well under most conditions, but not all. In wet and humid conditions, one must be extremely careful with matches, or you can quickly waste an entire box. As far as durability goes, you are limited by the number of matches you carry. Hope for one match per fire, but don’t plan on it. Also, matches leave something to be desired when it comes to long term storage. If not properly stored and cared for, matches can become damp and useless.

- Lighters – There are a variety of powerful butane survival lighters on the market. They function better than matches under most conditions. They are relatively small and portable. If properly cared for, they can be stored for long periods of time, and are basically impervious to water. Their durability is lacking since they are limited by the amount of fuel they contain.

- Flint and Steel (firesteel) – The modern method uses a piece of steel to ignite a shower of intense sparks (5000 degrees F) from a solid block of material, usually magnesium. Firesteel functions in all situations. If it becomes wet, it can easily be dried with material or in the open air. It uses no moving parts so it is reliable. It is small and can easily be carried in a pocket or pouch. One small block of the ignitable material will start somewhere around 5,000 fires. Plan on at least 10,000 matches and several butane lighters to do the same. Firesteel can be stored indefinitely and is immune to the effects of water and time.

Given the comparrison of the three methods, it is clear that firesteel is the most reliable, durable, versatile, and portable. Though extremely simple to use, as with all your survival tools, you should practice using firesteel before your life is on the line. A great firesteel can be found at Firesteel.com. Short of that, a combination of lighters and matches should prepare you for almost any situation.

The primary purpose of a bug-out bag is to allow one to evacuate quickly if a disaster should strike.  It is therefore prudent to gather all of the materials and supplies that might be required to do this into a single place, such as a bag or a few storage containers.

Your BOB allows you to grab what you need quickly and should contain enough supplies to last for at least seventy two hours.
Some possible items for your bug out bag include ….
first aid kit, water bottle, water purifier/filters, flashlights, water proof matches, multi-tool, emergency food, extra clothing, some kind of shelter (sleeping bag, tent), batteries, duct tape and medicine.
