Rucking: The Foundation Of Collapse Prepper Fitness

Leave a Comment / Prepping, Survival /

You don’t necessarily need to follow a specific rucking training plan in order to be successful. Really, what you need to do is get a clear understanding of the activity and how it relates to both fitness and preparedness, and learn a bit about the fundamentals. From there, you can design your own program for success. And by success I’m not talking about looking cool and sleek for summer on the beach, I’m talking about enjoying this activity to the maximum while reaping all the benefits that can prepare you for life in a post-collapse future.

8 Reasons Why Prepping Is Good For Your Mental State

1 Comment / Collapse, Prepping /

Mental health is something that usually falls by the wayside until things start to go sideways. Once a crisis comes into your life, that is when suddenly your emotional state becomes of major importance. It’s pretty obvious that stressful situations can leave people feeling anxious, fearful, and even depressed. The pressures of everyday life, combined with the more harmful aspects of modern society, such as social media, complex jobs and personal debt are enough to create anxiety in even the strongest people.

Toss in the idea of facing the collapse of civilization, and we are talking real stress on one’s mind, and body as well.

Whether it is climate change that concerns you the most, the potential for nuclear war seemingly at any minute, or even just garden variety economic or political upheaval, collapse comes for us all, and it starts early, working to negatively affect your mental state and emotional health. A big part of being prepared to face the coming challenges of collapse is to have a clear head, unburdened by excessive stress and worry. 

How in the hell are you supposed to manage that, with all the craziness going on now, in these early stages of collapse? I know it seems like an insurmountable challenge, but the answer might just be simpler than you expect.

Leave a Comment / Prepping /

The looming specter of a nuclear weapons exchange between warring nations is an increasing danger that has been getting quite a few headlines recently, and that is a concern that must be addressed in several ways. Among all the other dangers of a nuclear detonation near your location, the electromagnetic pulse put out by such weapons can be devastating all on its own. Additionally, one of the greatest potential threats we face is the possibility of a weaponized EMP attack that doesn’t even involve destruction on the ground, but is instead detonated high in the upper atmosphere specifically to disable the national power grid and all electronic devices. And, as if that wasn’t enough to consider, there is also the ever-present possibility of a naturally occurring solar flare hitting our power system. Something like the Carrington Event happened before, and inevitably will happen again. Here is how to get ready for it.
