By George Dodson


What would you do if the economy collapsed? Do you have what it takes to handle such situation.

People these days tend to prepare the worst in case economy collapses. Thus, people will then question themselves if they have what it takes to survive in such times. What tools, what equipment, what attitudes and what preparation would they need to make it through difficult times?

Simply ask yourself what you would need if such scenario happens.

The three essential things you must consider our water, food, and fire.

Water is practically the most essential thing in this planet and it is what makes people live. Every time you drink water, it is important that you make sure it is purified or filtered regardless of the source. If you're looking to fetch drinking water from rivers or creeks then it is really essential to purify or filter it. This is for the reason that these sources may have dangerous bacterias and other agents within their water.

So what tools or equipment do you need to have water for survival?

Fortunately, today, there are water filtration systems that you can buy that will filter any water. Such items would include features such as water bags, pumps, compartments and others which contribute to the effectiveness of the process. In addition, you can buy tablets which purify the water that you intend to drink. You can buy these tools in any leading supermarket near you.

Food comes next after water. While it is true that you may not need much food to live however the body requires certain nutrients and vitamins so as to function effectively. You must consume protein, vitamins, and their minerals from some source. You can purchase dehydrated food. These foods are usually sold in lower prices than other foods and are easy to store. One popular dehydrated food you can purchase are the MRE's or Meals Read to Eat. These are probably the best when it comes to food in small sizes but filled with much nutrients. In addition, you can find a lot of information about edible plants and how to snare animals prepare for cooking.

If you're looking to survive in the worst cases possible, you would learn how to build fire. Although fire may be harmful to people it can also prove to save life. To protect ourselves from cold and to cook our food as well as boil our water, man learned to create fire.

You should be able to create a fire on your own. If you do not have the tools to create one, you can always resort to the traditional methods. Always be sure to have a waterproof match with you all the time every time you're in the outdoors or in the wilderness. You can also opt for the BIC lighters which are pretty much easy to use and easy to carry. Be sure to have not just one lighter with you and be sure to have more at home, in your car, in your bag and in other places for emergencies. You can also opt for flint and steel. Be sure that you know how to use these before actually touching it. You'll never know when these things can save your life.

If you want to survive you need to have the right tools and of course the right perspective. Pay close attention to the above, and you will be way ahead in this process
