NatGeo Survey Says Most Americans
Think the End is Coming Soon: Tips on How You Can Survive in Place
When the National Geographic Channel wanted
to know whether U.S. citizens are really that worried about a
civilization-shattering catastrophe, it conducted a survey that discovered
Americans find the end-times scenario all too realistic. Here’s a summary and some ideas on what you
can use to survive:
>>How many years from now do you think it’s
likely that the world will experience a major catastrophe?
16%
said NEVER while 17% believe in less than a year! 12% though sometime in 1-4 years while 15%
felt it could happen in 5-9 years.
>>If a major catastrophe were to happen in
your lifetime, do you think it would be…
Natural,
such as a hurricane or earthquake…..71%
Man-made,
such as a terrorist attack……………29%
>>Which do you think is a smarter investment?
Saving
for retirement, such as through a 401(k)………59%
Preparing
for a global catastrophe in some way……..41%
>>If all factors were equal, would you be
more likely to purchase a home that had…
Brand
new high-end appliances…….51%
A
bomb shelter or safe room…………49%
Ironically, billionaires are stockpiling land for the
apocalypse in record numbers…yet, the vast majority
of people are blind to the looming threat posed by our out-of-control
government.

Realistic Disaster Scenarios That Can Happen
What disaster scenarios are most likely to happen that
people should definitely be prepared for? While global disasters are almost
impossible to predict, the world that man walked on for millennia has
always posed as being an obvious threat to himself.
Disaster Scenarios
and Global Threats to Prepare For
Throughout the years, scientists have continuously been
finding ways to predict natural disasters before they actually happen. There’s
been a degree of success in this area, thanks to the growth of modern technology. However, nature can still be very unpredictable and can
easily claim so many lives in a short period of time. At the same time,
there will be personal and local threats you will also face alongside global
disasters. To help you be more prepared, here is an emergency preparedness plan in case the situation gets way out of hand. Learn more here:
Homemade Weapons for When SHTF
Any prepper or survivalist will tell you that the
importance of having weapons can’t be stressed enough. It’s ingrained in each
one of us; we must have one or a few (or a dozen) or else. When things get
really ugly, we’re left to fend for ourselves. What would you do when there is
no gun or ammo around? That’s when these essential homemade weapons come into
play.
How to Craft These
Essential Homemade Weapons
Although the chances of guns being banned in the future
are remote to say the least, there might come a time when you have no firearms
at home or you are trapped somewhere else when SHTF. That would be the time to
conjure up your crafting skills and use all available tools to craft an
improvised weapon.
The good thing about DIY weapons is that you can always
improve them to make them better or more effective. Knowing how to use DIY
weapons is also important. Take the time to learn the techniques. This will
make the weapon safer and more useful.

undetected. This is an essential skill in a survival situation and a real survivalist needs

man? What are the necessary things you have to consider to blend in perfectly
with the crowd? How can you travel incognito? Scroll down to find out the answers

Tactic: How To Become A Gray Man
This survival tactic is a form of urban camouflage called “gray man,” and in
the middle of an urban crisis or martial law, it could be the only thing that
keeps you from having a target painted on your back and a bullet in your
brain. Being a gray man and having the ability to seamlessly slip in and
out of situations unnoticed is an art form mastered by few. Do it wrong
and you’re dead. Do it right and you’re home free. Do you think you
have what it takes to be a gray man?
What is a Gray
Man?
A gray man is someone who blends in where they go.
It is a person who does not stand out. They are wallflowers. Outside of a
survival situation, this can be an incredible asset, especially for information
gathering and improve your situational awareness if you don’t stand out you
greatly reduce your risk of being targeted.

Most people haven't a clue about what is taking place-too busy guzzling beer & watching mindless TV shows like Survivor!
Some interesting resources and reading partner-thanks for sharing!
There is certainly a lot to be concerned with and most Americans find it easier to bury their heads inside their smart phones and overlook everything outside their little sphere of activity.
That survey tells me more are worried about the future than will openly admit it. Good! Less zombies. :)
