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...

Home Fortification

Bởi
 There are a lot of better ways to fortify your home that are also more affordable than a prefabricated bunker. If you own property then the best way to begin is from the outside in. The goal is to establish a solid perimeter made up of alarm systems, obstacles and diversions to keep intruders from every reaching your home. If you live in an urban setting with densely populated buildings and the neighborhoods have less territory to defend, it leaves you with all the more reason to create yourself a system of formidable external defenses.  This is especially true when you are in close proximity to dozens of people who are also trying to survive. The more people you have in your direct vicinity the more vulnerable you are to being attacked. The larger the property and the fewer the neighbors the more advantages you have in defending your home. Large open properties give you more visibility and more area for establishing defensive barriers. You can see the wisdom in spending...

Survival Firearms

Bởi
Most people believe that having any type of gun on hand in a survival situation is better than no gun at all. That's not exactly true. Many preppers like making their dynamic weapons choices based on what they 'may or may not' run into.  Others prefer just to use whatever weapons they've been using to target shooting or hunting. This is not meant to discount the merits of selecting a weapon based on what it will be used for, however, when you're talking about the protection of yourself and your family against an angry mob, most weapons made for general hunting won't have the protection level you need.  Let's look at a few weapon types to see how they stack up against an angry mob: ( a). Handguns - These are used for fending off intruders and for home and self protection. Handguns are used by people to defend a home invasion or individual attack on their person. Handguns are best at short range. They are not, however, very effective at defending ...
