Survive

Survival in a disaster situation will ultimately come down to finding safety and the procurement of food and water. In this article we discuss the basic tactics for obtaining nourishment for survival over the course of several or more days.

We don’t really appreciate how much water we use, until we don’t have it to use anymore. Water is the keystone to all survival – we cannot live more than a couple days without it, we cannot raise crops or livestock without it, and we cannot keep clean and free of diseases without it.

While you can survive a few nights out in the open during the warm summer months, it isn’t an option once the temperature begins to drop. Shelter generally means staying out of the elements, but it also includes the ability to stay warm and dry.
