Schwatt's Survivalism Site

This page is dedicated to my new hobby and way of life...........survivalism.

I created this page as a way of showing people how to get started with their preparations.  Some people think that preparations are unnecessary, that people who are survivalists are "stupid", or "crazy".  Other people's failure to inform themselves doesn't make me crazy. These "sheeple", (as we survivalists like to call them), are so brainwashed into thinking that nothing bad is ever going to happen.  And if anything does happen, their "government" will take care of them.  Wake up people!  The Shit will Hit The Fan someday (abbreviated SHTF or TSHTF), and when it does, don't come crying to my door for food/water/or whatever.  We may be crazy to some, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out who will still be alive after the first winter post-SHTF. Still others may ask, "OK. SHTF may happen, but how likely is that?"  We respond like this: "There are an infinite number of SHTF scenarios:  Nuclear holocaust, economic collapse(stock market), a US invasion by enemy troops(China), asteroid/meteor impact, disease epidemic(smallpox, anthrax, etc.), or a massive terrorist attack to name a few.  In all likelihood, however, a smaller situation may arise: Chemical spill, earthquake, tornado, flood, drought/famine, or another terrorist atttack.  You might be saying to yourself, "If one of the latter situations happens, you don't need all the stuff you recommend!"  Well, you never know.  It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.  Furthermore, any one of those "small" scenarios can escalate quickly into a larger one.  For example, did you know that the grocery stores in the US only have about 2-3 days of food on hand at any given time? The shelves can be wiped clean in an hour if panic ensues following a disaster.   To get on with it, I am giving my recommendations on what you can do to prepare yourselves and your family.  I recommend stocking up on at least 3-6 months of food(canned, etc), water, paper products, etc.  These supplies will be used if it is safe for you to stay at home after a crisis/disaster.  The gear/weapons lists are in case you have to leave home (bug-out), and go to a friend/relative's place, or preferably your retreat.  The gear/weapons lists are for each adult individual. Choose from the following options:

Weapons

Equipment/Gear

Family Food Storage

FAQ(under construction)

(Note: I am still in the process of building this site, and therefore all sections/areas are not complete.)

I have so much information on this subject crammed into my head that it would take me a year to write down half of it.  Just because you don't see the answer to your question here, it doesn't mean I don't know the answer.  Drop me an e-mail and I will try to help you out with your question:                                                                                                        schwatt7@hotmail.com
