What kind of survivalist are you? Do you think that the
supposedly pending apocalypse will come from nuclear devastation of some kind,
or do you believe it might start with a zombie attack? Whatever you believe in
terms of how it’s all going to end, you’re going to need the gear to help you
survive the aftermath. There are many items to consider, and in this article,
we’ll consider a survival situation and what you might need in that instance.
A hole has opened up in the earth, and strange,
Lovecraft-ian monsters are pouring out from another dimension. Think In the Mouth of Madness, or Stephen
King’s The Mist. Chances of survival
in a situation like that may not be very high, but there are ways to increase
your odds. For instance, here you can find a Camper’s Sure Pak, which
comes with twelve meals and a flameless ration heater so you can stay warm. Be
sure to stock up on rations, because without food, you’re going to have to go
out in search of some, and you risk being attacked by giant tentacled creatures
or other desperate survivors.
You may run out of electricity fairly quickly, especially if
these monsters are smart and disable power grids and such. It’s a possibility
we can’t rule out, and we have to be as prepared as we can be. Luckily, there’s
such a thing as a wind-up flashlight that might just come in handy
for this type of situation. It can provide eight minutes of light per charge,
but again, stock up on these, because if you break one…well, you’re probably
not going to want to let it get broken. Running past creatures in the dark is
not fun.
Let’s say you don’t have a flashlight that works, not even a
wind-up one. You need to see what’s going on out there in the dark, maybe you
even need to see something that’s a good distance away, but you’ve got no way
to see anything without a flashlight, right? Wrong. While you could simply go
out there without a source of light and just hope for the best, it’s not
recommended, because you may get torn apart or eaten (or both). Stay low and
stay hidden, and pull out your night-vision binoculars to get the view you
need without exposing your position to the beasts.
This may not be a likely scenario, but you can’t really
discount anything when it comes to the end of the world. We know that if it
happens, it’s going to be devastating, but hopefully I’ve imparted even the
slightest bit of wisdom to anyone who will listen, regardless of whether any of
this stuff comes to pass or not. Don’t thank me…I feel like it’s my job to
help.
