FAQ

Where are the majority of doomsday planners?

Most people who prepare to face the apocalypse are likely to live in rural regions. Because they are more likely to survive a collapse of society, this is why they tend to live in rural areas. They also have a greater likelihood of finding supplies if there's less competition.

You need to be able to survive.

How can I get started in survival planning?

Also, consider adding a flashlight, compass and whistle to your solar-powered radio. If you live near rivers, lakes, or streams, include fishing equipment.

There are many options available when it comes to disaster preparedness. Start with these basics and expand your list based on your own situation.


What medical supplies should I have in my stockpiles?

You need to ensure you have at least three months supply of all medicines in case you find yourself in an emergency situation. This can be done by stocking up all types of medications including pain relievers and antibiotics. You may also want to consider storing food as well because if you don't have access to fresh foods, you won't have much time to prepare them.


Which food is best for survival?

Make sure you carefully consider the items you purchase. You won't be able to live long if you don’t have enough water. You should find a place that offers plenty of water and ensure you have enough to last.

When it comes to food, you can either buy dried beans, rice, pasta, or dehydrated food. You need to make sure they are stored properly so that nothing gets lost.

You may also want to consider purchasing freeze-dried food. These foods are more expensive than regular food but last longer.


How long should a survival kit's supplies last?

It's best to always have emergency supplies handy in order to be prepared for any eventuality. If disaster strikes, you don’t want to be without your essentials.

For example, if you plan to go camping, you will need to bring everything that you may need in one bag. This includes food, water as well as emergency items such first aid kits, matches, tools and other supplies.

Also, be sure to have a torch, map, compass and whistle. These items will help to keep you safe and assist you in finding your way home if lost.

These supplies should be kept in a waterproof container, such as a bag, box, bucket, or plastic bag. It is important that these supplies are easy-to-reach and do not get lost or tossed around in your backpack when you go hiking.

Consider the things you'll be using most often, and how much space each one takes up when packing. Consider adding more items to make sure you have enough space. You could, for example, add a stove to your shopping list if you intend on cooking outdoors a lot.

It is important to keep track of where you have placed your supplies. You will be limited in the things you can do once civilization has returned.
