Some of these tasks take time to accomplish so it’s important to start now. The last thing you want to happen is be in the aftermath of a frightening crisis only to realize that should have done X, Y and Z ahead of time. Protect yourself and your loved ones by making sure you have these rules down pat! You’ll never regret being overly prepared.
Hide your valuables: A good idea would be to bury them somewhere in your garden and then take a photo of a family member standing in that spot. Put copies of the photo in the family bug out bags, and make sure everyone knows what they’re for.
Improve your fitness: Any stressful situation calls for physical endurance, and there is always the possibility that you might have to carry injured people, the elderly or children to a place of safety.
Move to the ‘burbs: In any collapse situation cities become hotbeds of mayhem. Being in a safe area out in the suburbs will be far safer, and will likely save you money.
Rotate your survival foods: An excellent suggestion is to keep taking food from one side of your shelf and replacing it with fresh cans or boxes on the other end of the shelf.
Make sure you’ve got baking soda: Baking soda has a myriad of health benefits and it will protect your dental health. All you need is to mix half a teaspoon of baking soda with half a teaspoon of water to form a paste.
Learn about the trees and plants in your environment: Whether you’re making a rope, looking for drinkable sap or simply starting a fire, the plants and trees in your immediate surroundings are an invaluable resource.
Plan your escape: Everyone in your family should receive SERE (survival, evasion, resistance and escape) training.
Be ready to secure your person and property: Purchase things like bulletproof vests and barbed wire ahead of time for this purpose.
Be careful who you tell: Someone might inadvertently reveal important information about your plans, compromising your security.
Make sure everyone knows the escape plan: Plan ahead and have family drills so you can be sure of exact time-frames.
