Lots of details for personal survival and safety are required for self and family preservation through an emergency. As an example: water, food, clothing, shelter planning are just the "tip of considerations" to ensure you may be able to survive with some dignity throughout any unexpected issue.

Most know, there is a problem that has been on-going in America. You can discern this fact based on what politicians say as opposed to what they don't say. And they play the game that the government may provide all essentials to the citizenry even when there are no apparent resources for their charlatan Orwellian double-speak.

It behooves you to provide for yourself and family. You should not rely on a government, friends or family to help in any time of crisis. Are you ready? If you are ready, you should be able to answer, "how are you ready?"

Please share a few tips for preparedness measures.

Of course.

First off, I'm ready to die. Today, tomorrow, 50 years, 500 years. When it comes, it comes. God isn't going to let me die a second before he has decided it's my time, and he's not going to let me live a second longer. So I do not worry about these things.

I try to convey this sentiment to my loved ones, so that they, too, do not have anxiety about life. I am not very successful.

Second, I know how to go a long, LONG time without food. I've fasted for 40 continuous days on nothing but water, twice, and I would have been able to go on for a fair piece after that too. So the thought of being without food for a couple of months is not really terrifying. Frankly, it's not all that painful. And I had to work in that state, so I couldn't conserve energy. My womenfolk are slender, so they'd have more of a problem. Looking after them, to keep them alive and bitchin', would be harder than me.

Third, I've been through military survival school, in January, in Maine, so I know that with warm clothes I can survive bitter cold with a simple shelter and no fire. I don't fear winter. Nor do I particularly fear the loss of shelter. If the balloon goes up, there will be die offs and lots of available shelter - abandoned cars, buildings, etc. And all of this assumes that I won't be able to stay in my house.

Fourth, I know what to eat around where I live. I know the key green plants for nutrition, and I know the ideal protein source: shellfish, which grow super-abundantly everywhere in the sea, along the rocks, which are all within walking distance. Seaweed is also edible. There is a lot of very palatable, easy to get protein that can be eaten raw right close by.

Fifth, I know that the key tool is fire. In survival school you're trying not to get caught, but in a simple breakdown situation, you can light a fire. Living a week in a blizzard in Maine in just clothes, without food or fire, was a lot harder than living in a house, with the ability to light fire.

And with that, really, there is what you need.

The other key is that I know the direction to go when everything goes to shit. One must be contrarian. Where will all go? They will head South. They will go towards warmth...and malaria, and roundworms, and typhoid, and people.

No. You walk to the sea, and you walk NORTH. NORTH< where the cold keeps the diseases at bay, and where the predators are just big mammals, and there aren't many, and where simple things will keep the bugs away. Where poisonous things are not and malaria and typhoid and cholera and roundworms and parasites are not.

North to life.

Walk to the seashore and eat. And if things become unbearable, walk to the seashore and walk north. North where the people thin out. Better still, walk to the seashore and steal somebody's sailboat, and sail north. Off shore. No bugs. No crime.

Get a sailboat and get out of dodge.

The sea is your friend. We came out of the sea. Go down to the Sea, and walk or sail towards the Northern lights.

You know, up in the far North, the people have no warrior culture. They never fought wars. Eskimos and Saami have a history of wife-swapping and generally entertaining themselves with sex (what else is there to do), but they have no history or tradition of war. Where there are few people, people are VALUABLE to each other. Everybody's crazy anyway (you have to be crazy to live so far North), but everything is also clean, the animals are utterly predictable, and pretty tame, all in all, there's plenty to eat, and there's no disease.

So, all of the things that are the most dangerous when the world ends: disease, starvation, violence...you avoid starvation and disease by getting to the sea, and you avoid the mass of desperate people by walking North.

If you have to.

All of this assumes that, in a crisis, somebody who knows what to eat and how to "do things" that are useful, and who is generally charismatic and that people turn to, won't be able to work out cooperation with the neighborhood rapidly so that we all work together and stay put, and do what we can right there.

The wild card is violent people. Cold is your friend, really. Fire is easy. Food is easy if you stay close to the sea.

What will people do...that is the question. If one has leadership and knowledge, people will follow, and many hands make light work.

If one is going to go loan wolf, well, that's sad. And not a good strategy for survival, really.

The real key is knowing what plants to eat, and if you're going to stay put, using crap to fertilize stuff.

God isn't going to let me die a second before he has decided it's my time,

i think if you don't take care of yourself he will let you have the consequences even if that means you die before he'd intended.
