Welcome to av prepping

We have five pillars of survival. It's not just about survivng a disaster, it's about thriving. 

    shelter- The reason shelter is at the top of this list is simple. If you are exposed to harsh envirornmental coditions you will die. Weather it is extreme heat or cold. You can have all the food and water, and still die from heat or cold. 

    water- On average the human body can live for 72 hours without water. So water is extremly important. You must have the knowledge and ability to sanitize and purify water in a natural disaster. 

    Food- We can live a long period of time without food. That time will be drastically shortened when you are do lots of physical work. So food is important. And having the right food to keep your body healthy is a must. 

    Communication- This encompasses small hand held walkie talies so you can communicate with other neighbors or family members if they are out and about with in a close area. Also a HAM radio for contating people further distances. If you have a HAM radio you need a license to use it. But you are legally authorized to use a HAM radio in an emergency. I would suggest taking an online course and getting a license. And one of the most important items for communication is a small hand cranked or solar powered emergency radio. This will give you weather updates and information from outside your neighborhood. 

    Security- It is important to have a security plan in place. You need to protect what is yours. This means having neighborhood security if possible. All you have to do is look at some of the recent disaster in the world. You will see what people will do when they run out of food and water.
