Where you live, coastal seasonal weather can greatly affect all your plans and stockpiled resources. No high ground. Hurricanes and heavy rains and flooding can put a damper on all of your plans. Those storms will displace wildlife and change their habitat and impact the survival of some. A few traps, snares, extra cable and some rolls of S.S. wire, an axe / hatchet friction fire starters would be basic need materials. Cord, rope and some tarps if at hand.

Much of what you plan will depend on how much infrastructure is still online if there is any. Most likely another Fed seeking info here.

Until something really happens, and you already have some basic skills and equipment on hand there won't be much practical planning. Things will be constantly evolving. Shelter, warmth, potable water and acquiring food resources will be a daily challenge. Some basic first aid materials, and antibiotics would be an important part of your prepping. Firearm (s) and ammo hopefully will make your life safer and more manageable.

A good woods bum, well skilled, needs ammo and decent supply of snare material. Plenty of fishing line and hooks. Hooks are handy on water and land. Feeding a family of 4 without resupply....
At least have herbs and spices to help a wild diet taste better. Salt lots of plain salt....


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

What a lot of people don't realize is if there is ever a dooms day situation, wildlife will be the first resource depleted. Better off having chickens and rabbits if you a really trying to be prepared.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.
