More thoughts on disaster preparation

One thing we all need to realize in a disaster is not only the key food, water , and shelter aspects but, th unfortunate reality of others who may have not decided to prepare and those who ran through their small amount and have become desperate.                                                                                                              


 Desperation is a volatile situation, and can cause even the most unlikely people to desperate acts in involving robbery/theft vandalism and even sometimes murder. We all need to keep this in mind in order to keep and regulate our consumption, and protect what we have. Their are simple things we can do to keep our base point in hiding. One key thing is tell no one that we are preparing and where to find our final destination and primary point of final settling, it may seem harsh but all boils down to the "you or me" scenarios. Learning and practicing stealth methods will be a key point to this way of living. There are several ways to invest in stealth settling.. the cheapest would be to buy a green tarp for whatever size of the items and areas you may need to hide. Do you want to keep your final ingredients to survival close to you or far enough away  in case of someone finding it to raid, and possibly finding you and your loved ones? There are pros and cons on keeping it close, one will be to keep a better ability to see and keep a closer eye on it, and to better protect it. The cons of it include the larger space it takes and the event of someone being able to find it and in turn finding you. These are things you have to think about and consider, can you handle the problems that might come about from either side?

   You can use the different sizes of tarp with the green facing out but remember that "Camo" is designed with many things and experiences in practice. No matter where you are, a large solid color can be picked out in an environment of a variety of colors. If you do choose a large green tarp for shelter and hiding, look over your surroundings. What is available to break up the solid green? Leaves, branches, dirt, and a variety of things may be available to you in your area to break up the solid color and blend in more but don't forget the weights of different things combined. and do you have sturdy enough bracing underneath to support it?can you go out at a distance and see how well it blends in and if not, is there any thing you need to add, remove, or even move around to better blend it in? How has nature accomplished this in your final area? Sometimes you need to access your primal instincts or "follow your gut" to know what and how to accomplish this successfully. What types of designs are adapted and incorporated into the area wildlife? there are so many things to look at and understand in this type of situation and apply to your own needs.

All you need to do is watch and study your local area to see how the environment, and it's residents have adapted and continue to change in the seasons, then try to duplicate and keep up with it.



As always,
Be Safe, and Happy prepping!
