Apocalypse Now? Surprising Survival Tips
“It’s
the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine”: REM
Ways the world could end:
1. Global warming: Climate change could make extreme weather more severe, increase droughts in some areas, change the distribution of animals and diseases across the globe, and cause low-lying areas of the planet to be submerged in rising sea levels.

2. An asteroid hits
earth: a space rock could wipe out Earth; after all, a meteor impact probably
doomed the dinosaurs.
3. Pandemic threat: New
deadly pathogens crop up every year: Recent pandemics have included outbreaks
of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), bird flu and, most recently, a
coronavirus called MERS that originated in Saudi Arabia.
4. Bacterial fungus: A
fatal fungus in humans would be catastrophic.
5. Engineered disease:
Engineered deadly diseases could escape from the lab or be intentionally released,
leading to a global pandemic.
6. Nuclear war: massive
stockpiles of nuclear weapons around the globe could wreak destruction if they
were to get into the wrong hands.
7. Robot ascension:
Forget “The Terminator.” Killing machines are not far from reality. The United
Nations recently called for a ban on killer robots.
8. Overpopulation: With
the global population at 7 billion and counting, many conservationists think
population growth is a threat to Earth.
9. Terrorist Attack
10. Zombies attack: Hey,
even if there are no zombies during the apocalypse, you’ll still need to
protect your home and yourself from dangerous looters and squatters that are
looking for a place to stay.
When it all comes down, here are some rules of survival to
govern all areas of your post apocalyptic life:
1. Avoid other people: Establish a base camp away from populated areas. People are loud, noisy and in times of stress they will have no problem stealing your food/wife/water/weapons/clothes.

2. Have an escape plan.
Your camp may become overrun, so you need a back-up. A safe haven to slip away
to. This must be known by no more than 3 people for sake of security. Ensure
your safe haven is well stocked, hidden and fortified as much as possible.
3. Fresh water Get plenty
of bottles water with a long shelf life and lots and lots of water purification
tablets. Do not drink any water laying around on the ground. With the breakdown
in society the population will have been shitting and dying in rivers, lakes,
streams and puddles. They are all dirty, disease ridden cesspools of death, and
the water will be dirty too. Don’t think cannibalism: Human beings are not
fat-free, disease free or even that tasty.
4. Get guns. Be Prepared
– learn to shoot, and know where to loot guns from.
5. Supplies, supplies,
supplies. Your money will be no use to anyone when the big end comes. Stock up
on obscure items like dry dog food, batteries, socks and get a large library of
vegetable seeds. You can use some of these items to barter for things later on.
6. Create a group that
includes electrician, doctor, gardening expert, butcher, carpenter, survival
expert, martial arts teacher, cook.
Surprising Survival Tips
Use your urine to make:
1. Gunpowder: During the U.S. Civil War, men were manufacturing potassium nitrate (gunpowder is 75 % potassium nitrate) in huge amounts. One process, known as the French method, involved mixing manure with ashes, straw and urine; the mixture would be tended for many months, then filtered through more ashes and a bit of water.

2. Fertilizer: Since
urine is high in nitrogen, it makes an excellent fertilizer
3. Medicine: Many
cultures have found medicinal uses for pee. Hindus traditionally applied urine
to the skin as a dermatological treatment, and the Chinese used it to treat
wounds.
Lemons can give you
electricity
1. roll the lemon to get the juices
2. Cut 2 slits in the lemon
3. In one slit place a dime, the other use a penny.
4. Now you have electricity from a lemon, you can test how much with a multimeter

If you have a fishing
line: It can have dozens of backcountry uses when you’re in trouble. Hungry?
Catch your food. Exposed or broken? Tie up a tarp for your shelter, repair
clothes and shoes, or stitch up your wounds.
Condoms: can easily hold
up to a gallon of water — enough to keep you alive for a full day — without
getting overstretched. It also has the very important benefit of being small
and easy to carry around.
Shoelaces: can serve a
number of purposes — whenever you might need rope or string, your shoelaces
usually can do the job. Use them to make a splint in case of injury. If you
have a sharp object to use as a hook, a shoelace can make a decent fishing
line. Tie sticks together to make a quick lean-to shelter or even a raft.
Bleach: Household bleach
can be used to purify water. The ratio of bleach to water is 2 drops of bleach
to purify 1 litre of water.
Wow: Toothpaste can be
used to treat bug bites and insect stings, also, got to stay minty fresh while
out on the trail.
Rock on: Large Rocks
placed around a camp fire will absorb heat, and even when the fire dies down
they will still radiate enough heat to keep you warm. Also, the hot rocks can
be placed into a cup of water and the heat from the rocks will begin to boil
and purify the water.
Show some guts: Animal
guts that you would usually throw away should be kept to use as bait for
fishing, traps and snares.
Light ‘em up: Always
carry a pack of cigarettes even if you don’t smoke. Offering people cigarettes
can help you make friends, or calm people down if they’re suffering from stress
or nicotine withdrawal.
Where there’s Smoke
there’s fire: Smoke is a natural insect repellent. If you have a fire going,
wave your jacket, trousers, sleeping bag, and poncho etc around in the smoke to
keep mosquitoes and ants from eating you alive. Also Fire is a natural predator
repellent. It’ll stop a bear from stealing your bag or your girlfriend in the
night.
Sock it away: Always pack
spare socks, at least 2 extra pairs of. Socks can be used to filter the dirt
out of water, keep animal guts suspended in a tree and of course prevent you
from getting trench foot and blisters.
Yours in freedom,
