Are You Prepared To Face This Inconvenient Truth? When The SHTF, Many People Will Succumb To Fear, Depression, Anxiety, Hopelessness, Despair, Paranoia – the list goes on…

Posted on November 2, 2018 By sandy No Comments on Are You Prepared To Face This Inconvenient Truth? When The SHTF, Many People Will Succumb To Fear, Depression, Anxiety, Hopelessness, Despair, Paranoia – the list goes on…

It’s been demonstrated time and time again that in the face of any disaster, a healthy mental state is perhaps the single most important key to personal survival.
How do you guard yourself against the deterioration of morale in the duration of an extremely challenging ordeal – one which could easily cause the average human to give up or lose his or her wits?
If surrounded by death, destruction and the loss of almost everything you held dear, how do you cope – especially if the crisis drags on for months, or even years?
It’s impossible to predict exactly what challenges you will be forced to endure, but the shock of having one’s life turned upside down is enough to test anyone’s resolve. You might, for instance, find yourself in such deep despair that life seems hardly worth living, especially if you have to witness the deaths of others – perhaps even someone close to you.

After The Collapse Series
You may find yourself feeling isolated or fearful – or you may simply find it very difficult to accept the realization that things will never return to “normal”. Even dealing with boredom may be an issue – especially for children. Without all the distractions and sources of entertainment we take for granted, daily life may seem quite tedious once things settle after the initial collapse.
Is there anything you can do now to prepare yourself and your family for the inevitable psychological strain that a prolonged disaster scenario will bring?

Wild Lettuce is also Known as Opium Lettuce. For a good reason. While it doesn’t contain any opiates, it has similar side effects when used – it acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to lessen the feeling of pain, just like morphine. Watch this video and learn a quick recipe (wild lettuce extract) for the best natural painkiller. Over 23 million Patriots have already seen It. Giving you a quick, easy way to make your own life-saving painkiller, ready for when you need it. Click Here To Discover More.

If we examine the strategies others have used to “keep their chins up” during extreme crisis situations, a few basic common factors become apparent. Some of these may seem rather obvious or even insignificant, but all are worth considering (and reconsidering) in advance.
When dealing with prolonged privation and hardship, little things can mean a lot and a small amount of preparation can prove to be crucial to maintaining a sense of well-being and overall mental health. Here are five strategies which will help you and your family get through even the hardest of times.

Creature Comforts

When most of us prepare our bug-out bags and stockpiles, we inevitably think in terms of the basics needed for mere survival. Of course, it’s crucial to have the essentials covered – nonperishable food supplies, water, weapons, etc. – but it’s also important to have non-essential things on hand which help maintain a sense of normalcy and provides small pleasure.
A small piece of candy, for instance, will be a welcome daily addition to whatever boring staple foods you may be forced to eat on a regular basis.

Diversions

If the grid goes down and you don’t have a way of generating electricity, most of our modern day electronic entertainment options will no longer be available.
Books, games, cards, puzzles – anything that doesn’t require power and which provides a way to pass the hours while diverting attention from grim realities will be much appreciated by the entire family – especially the kids.

Exercise

One of the best ways to fight depression and anxiety is through daily exercise. Strenuous exercise releases endorphins into the body’s system – endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers and they have an anti-depressant effect on our psyches, as well. And of course, the physical benefits of daily exercise are important as well. Surviving a crisis requires both a sound body and mind.

Daily Routines

Maintaining one’s sanity in traumatic circumstances requires preserving a sense of normalcy. People forced to endure extreme hardships – such as prisoners of war – have often found that sticking to one small daily routine helped them to stay sane and focused on survival.
Routines such as daily shaving for men or applying makeup for women may seem unnecessary (or even absurd) in a disaster situation, but these seemingly trivial acts can have real benefits regarding one’s mental health and well-being.

Service To Others

This is perhaps the most important key to maintaining one’s morale and sense of purpose in a crisis. As the saying goes: “Virtue is its own reward.” Selfless dedication to helping others has consistently proven to be one of the most effective means of fighting depression and despair. It’s the cornerstone of most spiritual doctrines, but even if you’re not a fan of organized religions you are sure to find that service to humanity is the secret to happiness.
Giving assistance to someone worse off than yourself will restore your perspective and give you the strength to carry on. And when TSHTF, there’s sure to be no shortage of opportunities to do so.
What would be your morale-boosting strategy in a disaster scenario?
Low-Cost Root Cellar/Bunker
This guy did something very sharp and inventive: His cellar had all the benefits of our great-grandparents’ root cellars, the American Army war bunkers, and the secret Viet Cong building method with none of their drawbacks. Watch the video and learn more!



The Most Comprehensive Book Available

Our grandfathers had more knowledge than any of us today and thrived even when modern conveniences were not available. They were able to produce and store their food for long periods of time. All the knowledge our grandfathers had, in one place. Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in the book:
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!
 
Discover how to survive: Most complete survival tactics, tips, skills and ideas like how to make pemmican, snowshoes, knives, soap, beer, smokehouses, bullets, survival bread, water wheels, herbal poultices, Indian roundhouses, root cellars, primitive navigation, and much more at The Lost Ways

 
Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost Ways:
From Ruff Simons, an old west history expert, and former deputy, you’ll learn the techniques and methods used by the wise sheriffs from the frontiers to defend an entire village despite being outnumbered and outgunned by gangs of robbers and bandits, and how you can use their wisdom to defend your home against looters when you’ll be surrounded.
Native American ERIK BAINBRIDGE – who took part in the reconstruction of the native village of Kule Loklo in California, will show you how Native Americans build the subterranean roundhouse, an underground house that today will serve you as a storm shelter, a perfectly camouflaged hideout, or a bunker. It can easily shelter three to four families, so how will you feel if, when all hell breaks loose, you’ll be able to call all your loved ones and offer them guidance and shelter? Besides that, the subterranean roundhouse makes an awesome root cellar where you can keep all your food and water reserves year-round.
From Shannon Azares you’ll learn how sailors from the XVII century preserved water in their ships for months on end, even years and how you can use this method to preserve clean water for your family cost-free.
Mike Searson – who is a Firearm and Old West history expert – will show you what to do when there is no more ammo to be had, how people who wandered the West managed to hunt eight deer with six bullets, and why their supply of ammo never ran out. Remember the panic buying in the first half of 2013? That was nothing compared to what’s going to precede the collapse.
From Susan Morrow, an ex-science teacher and chemist, you’ll master “The Art of Poultice.” She says, “If you really explore the ingredients from which our forefathers made poultices, you’ll be totally surprised by the similarities with modern medicines.” Well…how would you feel in a crisis to be the only one from the group knowing about this lost skill? When there are no more antibiotics, people will turn to you to save their ill children’s lives.
If you liked our video tutorial on how to make Pemmican, then you’ll love this: I will show you how to make another superfood that our troops were using in the Independence war, and even George Washington ate on several occasions. This food never goes bad. And I’m not talking about honey or vinegar. I’m talking about real food! The awesome part is that you can make this food in just 10 minutes and I’m pretty sure that you already have the ingredients in your house right now.
Really, this is all just a peek.
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!
