Start preparing if you haven’t already.

For the short term, here is a quick checklist.

• If you are able to purchase freeze dried food, do it.
• If you have a dehydrator, start making jerky or dry some fruit/vegetables. Store these using a vacuum sealer with desiccant packets.
• Get some big drums and store clean water.
• Prepare a simple first aid kit.

For the longer term, you will need to know how to gather food/water. Here are some skills you will need. We can go over these skills in other discussions.

• Water collection:
  • Rain water collecting
  • Water filtering
• Food collection:
