Introduction
Efficiency is the foundation for survival.
Effectiveness is the foundation for success.
JOHN C. MAXWELL
The world as we know it is ever-changing. The population is booming, technology is advancing, and there is the ever-present possibility of disaster striking. Despite technology improving every year, it can't keep up with the issues that continue to grow every year. Problems such as overpopulation, food shortages, and disease run rampant worldwide, and seem to worsen. Many people assume that these concerns are only for countries not classed as first-world, but they'd be wrong. Think back to the first announcement of Covid-19. What was the reaction of many people when the various lockdowns were announced? Pure panic. People rushed to stores to buy food, water, and other necessities, taking far more items than necessary. This forced shops to implement limits on what people may buy and even have special days for senior citizens to buy what they need unharassed. This panic buying resulted in many necessities becoming scarce and allowing people to take advantage of the situation by inflating prices of what was available.
And this was only one disease. What will happen with the next one? Or the one after that? If Covid-19 has taught us anything, it's that people are woefully unprepared for any kind of disaster. Diseases aren't the only factor that should worry you. The world is precariously balancing on edge, which could determine whether humans can survive the disasters that they have manufactured. We assume that farmers will always be able to produce food to fill our supermarkets. Yet, we forget that they rely on the weather to play along to produce the quantities of food that can sustain a population of people that don't even know how to grow their food. If a farmer fails, we all fail.
So, how can you prevent a downward spiral of our planet caused by rampant disease, overpopulation, and a lack of water and food? By being prepared. Many people were able to ride out the various Covid-19 lockdowns in comfort. Why? Because they were always prepared. Now I am not talking about people who have hidden bunks with years worth of food. I am talking about people who knew how to plan, prepare, and survive out in the wild. Wilderness prepper are people who not only live off of the land but manage to prosper because they know what to expect from nature.
Why does Prepper Survival Matter?
Many places throughout the world are yet to be fully explored. These areas will end up becoming asylums when disaster strikes and civilization starts to come crashing around our backyards. You may not think this is possible in your generation, but if you look closer at how the world manages problems, you will see that the cracks are forming. Whether you decide to fully emerge yourself in the prepper lifestyle or learn a few survival skills, it is something worth having. Especially with the state of the entire world as it is.
Our ancestors didn't need everything we have today to survive in an unforgiving environment, and neither do you. By learning some basic survival skills, you become invaluable when you get lost, during an emergency, dealing with an accident, or anything else that is unforeseen (Naturalist Ventures, n.d.). Some of these invaluable skills include:
Building a shelter for you and others.
Creating stone or wooden weapons to hunt with
Collecting and cleaning water
Create fire through the use of friction
Learn to forage and prepare food
Learn how to cook without any tools
First aid
Make cordage
Etc.
Each one of these skills means the difference between life or death at that moment.
