You often hear in the Survivalist Community that local resources and in fact all resources will quickly come under pressure in a major disaster. While true there is also the old adage “the early bird gets the worm” along with the fact that “normalcy bias” will often keep competition low during early and even middle states of a major break down. Hence it makes a lot of sense to be knowledgeable and aware of your local resources now before any need of them arises.
Join me today as we discuss…
- The three types of survival knowledge
- General
- Localized
- Specialized (skill based)
- The importance of organization and leadership
- Finding edible plants in all seasons during “peace time”
- Establishing sources of water and purification

- Cultivation of wild crops (guerrilla gardening)
- Knowledge of local wildlife (all of it)
- Trap building skills
- Knowing your local geography
- Establishing distances and travel times
- Knowing how to get out, where you will go
- Keeping a low profile
