After TEOTWAWKI, the world will change dramatically. There will be many new challenges, and new ways to survive. Here are some things that will be different and some ways you can prepare for them.
TEOTWAWKI Survival: Water, Food and Shelter
Food is essential to your survival plan after teotwawki. To ensure you and your family are fed enough, it is important to keep yourself and your family well-stocked with healthy and tasty food.
It doesn't matter if you live in a house, or are living out of a tent, having plenty of food options will help you survive the transition from Teotwawki into SHTF. It is a good idea stockpile foods that don't quickly spoil, such as meats, fruits, vegetables and dried beans.
Growing your own foods is another way to ensure that you have the food you need during a crisis situation. While it is not easy, it can be done with just a few changes to your usual growing habits. This will allow you to grow many foods that will help you and your family stay healthy for the long-term.
One way to make the process easier is to plant perennial plants that come back year after year. This will save you time and let you harvest what you need when you are ready.
It is possible to also plant spices and herbs in your teotwawki gardens. These herbs can enhance the flavor of your meals and provide medicinal properties. You can also grow garlic, sage and turmeric, which will supply your body with nutrients when it is most needed.
You will need your home to be safe during teotwawki. It's important that you protect it from the weather. While you may not be concerned about the appearance of your home, it is important for your safety and that of your family.
Also, it is important that your home stays warm during teotwawki. A portable heater is possible, but it's easier to keep warm in a home that has been constructed with insulation and fire resistance.
Initially, it is possible to not have access power. It is crucial to have a backup battery for your electronics, such as your radio or television. To help you accomplish this, you can set up a solar power source.
