Why Getting in Shape Before Doomsday Is Extremely Important

Have you ever watched that show on National Geographic, "Doomsday Preppers". It is a show about real life people who are preparing to survive the apocalypse. Survival experts rate their preparations and they are given a score based on how likely they are to survive. If you have ever seen this show, you know that a great deal of these "preppers" as they are called, are completely overweight and in absolutely horrendous physical condition. This begs the question, how do these people expect to survive doomsday when they look like they are in need of a quadruple bypass.

People preparing for "the apocalypse" are becoming more and more common because the way things are going in the world. But in their preparations, they often over look the importance of being physically fit. If doomsday really did happen and people were forced to leave their homes to "head for the hills" how many of these super out of shape preppers could actually hack it?

If you are forced to leave your home due to some apocalyptic scenario, you are essentially reduced to a refugee. You will need to wander in search of supplies, resources and food. You will need to hunt and gather and be physically fit enough to plant crops, defend yourself and perform a variety of tasks like chopping fire wood or walking long distances.

Most of the people on this show look like they couldn't run a full mile, let alone blaze a trail out into the wilderness surviving off the land. If you really were going to be serious about "doomsday prepping" wouldn't you consider physical fitness a primary aspect of concern?

Instead of all of their elaborate defenses to protect their home, they should be spending some of that money on a treadmill and getting their bodies as prepared as their defenses. After all, you can't expect to always be at home, you will need to eventually go out in search of supplies no matter how well stocked you are. Walking and running won't be options after your fuel supply runs out and tasks like chopping and splitting wood require a certain degree of physical fitness that would be completely overwhelming to an out of shape "prepper".

Developing a daily workout routine should be a critical aspect of preparing for doomsday, your physical body is your best defense and if you are in horrible shape how could you ever expect to last for any length of time anyway?

So my advice to these doomsday preppers is, spend a little time running on a treadmill everyday and it will benefit you even if doomsday never occurs.

If you are the type of person who has all of the gear you need to survive the apocalypse and you are actively preparing for doomsday, you probably want to invest in a treadmill and some workout equipment to keep your body as prepared for survival as your home. You can get some of the best treadmills for under $500, so their really is no excuse not to add this to your survival repertoire. Stay fit and healthy, body, mind and soul it will benefit you no matter what happens!

Urban Survival Techniques to Develop Before the Depression of 2012 Hits America

Urban Survival Techniques can be divided into several categories of skills that will be very useful whether we are facing another Great Depression or an even more dramatic economic meltdown. Knowing how to ensure that you and your family have access to safe water, food and medical attention in an emergency is critical to getting by in 2012.

However, it is nearly impossible for one person to master all of the skills that are necessary to thrive in tough times, so it is critical to identify the important skill sets and figure out how you can network with others who possess the skills you lack.

Since 'no man is an island' you will want to have a circle of very trusted friends and family who can complement the urban survival techniques you've mastered. Let's take a look at some of the most important skill sets and ask yourself the following question:

Do I Have These Skills?

Do I Know Someone Who Does?

Water purification. If your city suddenly lost water pressure due to a power grid failure, would you know what to do, aside from fighting the crowds for the last bottled water on the grocery store shelves? Since most people don't know (and no, boiling water is not enough) you need to have access to a good urban survival manual that will take you step-by-step through the process.

Food storage. After the typical American's pantry is empty in a week or maybe two, the time comes for longer term food storage to keep you from being dependent on FEMA (remember how well they cared for victims of Hurricane Katrina?) or charity. Creating an inexpensive long-term food storage supply is an urban survival technique that is a lot better than trying to buy thousands of dollars of freeze-dried foods or Army MRE's.

First Aid. If the hospital loses power or the lines are out the door after a catastrophe, do you have a first aid resource like a nurse or doctor in your neighborhood? Do you have a personally crafted first aid kit and a good first aid manual?

The best time to assess the situation to ensure that your family is protected in these critical areas is well before any crisis hits. Prioritize what skills you have or are natural fits for you to develop and then see who in your circle can be relied on to make up the deficits.

Urban survival is about knowing how you can help others and be a valuable resource and being aware of which are the areas where you will need assistance.

You'll see that Urban Survival is not all about guns and "survivalists" but also a lot of practical skills that our grandparents relied on.
