Getting Prepared for Tomorrow Makes Life Better Today

Why spend time, money and resources preparing for future disasters that might never come? The masses say: “Carpe diem! Live for today! Let tomorrow take care of itself.”

I say… Being prepared for tomorrow and living life today are usually the same thing (as long as you don’t get extreme with your survival preparedness):

• Save money by learning how to eat beans and other low-cost, easy to store foods. Why spend a fortune on dehydrated foods that don’t taste that great? Some just-add-water-meals are a good idea. But store mainly non-perishable foods you can rotate.
• Start gardening – don’t wait for a collapse of the food system. Gardening doesn’t just give you great tasting homegrown food – you’ll slim down from the exercise, improve your immune system with the exposure to sunlight and fresh air and de-tress by absorbing negative ions from the earth.
• Get off medication that won’t be available in a survival situation and learn how to stay healthy naturally.  Medications come with side-effects that only eat away at your quality of life.
• Learn how to save and live within your means so you can stock up on food, water purification kits, gold, silver and some seed banks. Feel financially confident knowing you are not living paycheck to paycheck.

Every day is a “survival day.” We work to earn money to provide food, shelter, water, etc. It’s just survival camouflaged with the trappings of “society.” Not as harrowing as a bio-weapons attack… but day-to-day life is challenging in and of itself.

Urban survivalism is really just a more balanced approach to living in the city.
