What survival defense is all about ?

Bởi
Well, when speaking statistically it would be very unlikely that the U.S., Great Britain, and many other Western nations will be plummeting into societal collapse. However, you should never discount the fact that our society has undergone some precautionary testing to reveal warning signs. When hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the Gulf Coast, it proved that man-made infrastructure could not withstand the powerful forces of nature. It also revealed the lengths, depths, and heights that American families and individuals would go to ensure survival during an emergency wherein the government reacts far too slowly. 

This slow reaction from the government seems to be a common thread among survivalists and is part of their mindset. Regardless of the type of disaster or when it happens, as human beings we inherently feel like we need to fend for ourselves, because we care more about our own circumstances than any special agencies. There have been far too many incidents in which local, state, and even federal governments have reacted much too slowly to effectively ensure survival for the masses and to restore order to those situations. We are always concerned that government interference is going to affect our livelihoods. 

Our basic liberties are at risk. You see it in the surveillance methods the government uses as well as their desire to take our guns. Still, we know from experience that when people have their backs against the wall, there will be robbing, stealing, and killing in the name of survival. 

ZOMBIELAND 

We are witnessing an ever-increasing presence of literal zombies on TV, in movies, and in books and on video games. This is an indication that people's fears are being shifted from the government with all it's cover-ups, over to something they can more closely relate to - their peers. Visualize what a prison riot looks like. You have angry mobs unwilling to listen to reason. 

Deadly force is the only deterrent. This is how zombies are being portrayed today. That means when you hear someone giving you an 'off the cuff' response claiming that it's the 'Zombie Apocolypse' that threw them into a prepping mindset, you know they're being driven by fiction. They are letting fiction form their fears of impending social disorder sparked by humanity itself and manifested on a massive scale. This cultural obsession with the zombie mentality has even infiltrated the self-defense and firearms industries. You can actually locate ammunition, edged-weapons, crossbows, and shotguns, that are all being marketed as perfect for surviving the apocalypse and fighting off zombies. 

Their target audience is based on a fictional concept. It's hard to say whether the manufacturers of such products and the consumers who buy them truly intend to use these products for enjoyment or really believe they'll be killing zombies. Regardless of how you feel about this zombie craze, it is very widespread and people are fascinated by it and obsessed with it. Our entire society is incrementally being de-sensitized to death and predisposed to destruction.

Think Outside the Box

Again, when most people are thinking about self-defense the first things that come to mind are guns, ammo, pepper spray, and knives. In chapter 8 we'll discuss more on these types of weapons but first we'll go over some of the less conventional types of weapons you can use to defend yourself and your home. Be practical and creative in your thinking.  Practice thinking on the run. Go over different attack scenarios in your mind and then look around you and figure out the best way to react with what's right there in front of you. Opportunities and objects will suddenly jump out at you. These are excellent mind drills that can really pay off big time if a crisis should arise.  A Weapon in Each Room is Good Planning  There are a lot of objects laying around people's homes that can be potential weapons to use for self-defense. If you sit down and take a hard look around you can spot these objects and mentally mark them so you'll remember them in a pinch. Wal...

Survival Networking

How do you see yourself? Are you a lone wolf? Do you trust in yourself above all others when it comes to your survival? A lot of 'preppers' are very determined people who will stick to their guns when it involves the survival of themselves and their families. Some individuals find more comfort in having a support group they can rely on during an emergency situation. Networking can be a viable option in terms of survival. It means you don't have to manage everything all by yourself.  When perilous times hit, people will be pushed to the limit, going above and beyond the normal scope of their psychological and physical capabilities. When you belong to a network of like-minded people it gives you a community that works together to help save lives. This kind of support can be life saving. However, you shouldn't wait until a disaster strikes before you start getting ready. Being caught off guard can truly be devastating. Survival Networking  How do you see yours...

Introduction about survival defense

Bởi
It's going on all around us. There are hardworking citizens spending their hard-earned dollars to make fallout shelters out of their homes. These people are committed to learning survival skills as well as self-defense strategies and tactics. It has been estimated that we have over 3 million U.S. citizens who see themselves as 'preppers' and who are spending time, money, and physical labor on acquiring resources to be prepared for the worst.  All survivalists have their own unique ideas of how the impending apocalypse will reveal itself. What they all have in common is the belief that this event is just around the corner. Anyone who watches the news today cannot help but see some of what they see with all the hype and deep paranoia displayed on our TV sets.  Anyone can see how the weather itself seems to be blowing in doom and destruction. Tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes are much more commonplace today than ever before in history. Then you have viruses and d...
