A lot of survivalists think that money may not be useful when SHTF. While there's some truth to focusing your efforts in learning survival skills and fortifying your stores of preparedness foods, money can still be useful during survival scenarios. Here are 14 reasons why money will still be useful to you after SHTF. (h/t Survivopedia.com)Money helps you during minor emergencies
Small medical concerns and car accidents are hard to predict. Keeping some money on hand prepares you for these minor emergencies.
Having cash allows you to diversify
It's a good idea to keep your assets varied to prepare for disasters. Leaving some money in your bank is a good idea, but you should also always have some cash in hand. Converting some of your cash to a stable foreign currency and in precious metals is also a good idea.
Cash is portable
Money, unlike gold or silver, is easy to carry around and store in your homestead. Keeping several dozen $100, $50 or $20 bills isn't as difficult as lugging gold bullion around. This makes it easier for you to bug-out if necessary.
Cash empowers you
Cash makes it easy for you to recover through your own merit. After a disaster, having some cash on hand won't turn you into a refugee sleeping out in a shelter. With money, you can pay for your own food, water and a hotel room.
Cash is useful during major disasters
Cash also makes you prepared for major disasters. Prices of basic commodities such as food and fuel will soar immensely. With your store of cash, this problem can be something you can deal with.

You can hold on to your assets
After a disaster, the pressure will be high to sell some of your most valuable assets such as your car or maybe even your home, at extremely low prices just to survive. With a significant reserve of cash, you can avoid being forced to sell low just to feed your family.
You can supply your own credit
What's great about having spare cash is it means you won't have to rely on credit to make payments, especially during disasters. This also means that you won't have to pay more down the line on interest, late fees or other penalties.
Cash gives you some privacy
Survivalists who want to maintain some kind of privacy in this modern world will need to use cash in their day-to-day payments. Paying not with credit but with money keeps your name off the radar. Furthermore, you can invest in a P.O. Box, where you can have your mail, sent, making you harder to track.
You can hold on to your cash
When SHTF, the money you have in your bank accounts or investments may be impossible to access, especially if the internet or the power grid goes down. If this is the case, you can get into serious trouble if you don't have any cash in your possession.
Cash is liquid
All of the cash you have in your pocket can be easily converted into other kinds of assets. This isn't the case when it comes to precious metals. Gold and silver have to be exchanged for cash before you can buy something with it. With cash, you won't have to go through any kind of obstacle to pay for anything you need during a disaster.
Money can keep you mobile
Depending on the disaster, you may need to pack up your bags and bug-out. It may be due to a fire or an impending disaster like a tornado or a hurricane. Having sufficient cash reserves in your bug-out bag or in your bug-out car makes it less difficult for you to just walk away from your home to a safer place.
Cash gives you more stability
Emergencies can come out of nowhere, leaving you unsure of how to respond to it, especially if you don't have a lot of money on hand. Cash reserves give you the room and the resources to respond to instability, including disasters, emergencies and other concerns that you're yet to even consider. (Related: Prepper hacks: 20 Tips for surviving the next chaotic situation with ease.)
Cash makes you more resilient
Deflation is a risk you need to look out for during and after disasters. Any investments you may have, such as bonds and stocks, will decrease in value. However, the value of your cash may increase. This increase will help you offset the losses on your investments and your cash reserves will be more valuable.
Money is versatile
Beyond all these reasons, cash is still useful during survival scenarios for a variety of other practical reasons. You can buy food or transportation, use a payphone or rent a room at a motel as well as do some last-minute purchases of food and water. Having some spare cash makes you more able to adapt to any obstacle.
While it's always a good idea to have diversified assets, such as in precious metals and in stocks and bonds, as well as in spending some time focusing on your homestead, on survival skills and on your emergency food stores, you also can't go wrong with having a significant cash reserve. When SHTF, you'll need all the help you can get, and you may need more cash than the handful of bills you have in your wallet.

3 Skills that will help you survive TEOTWAWKI

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...ire-Bright.jpg
Stockpiling can only take you so far. You can hoard as much food and water as you can, store as much gas as you want and buy as much ammunition as you can carry, but at the end of the day when you don't have the skills required to efficiently use your supplies, everything you've gathered will be worthless. Here are three skills that can help you survive TEOTWAWKI. (h/t to SurvivalBlog.com)Blacksmithing
Many of the first homesteaders built and maintained their own tools. This skill must be relearned because all the high-quality manufactured goods the modern world has created and relies upon will deteriorate one way or another, either through use or time. Having at least a rudimentary knowledge of metalworking prepares you for the possibility that you have to repair or create from scratch a tool you need to survive. Furthermore, in the event that society ever needs to rebuild, blacksmiths and anyone with any knowledge of how to work metal will be in high demand, meaning that they'll be less likely to go hungry since many will be willing to trade for their skills.
To start learning how to blacksmith, you need, at a minimum, a hammer, an anvil, a vice and the forge. There are plenty of guide books, websites and video tutorials on how to start repairing your first tool or fashioning your first piece of metal.
Gardening
Food is a finite resource, and in a dire long-term situation, all your supply of pre-SHTF food will eventually run out. To survive, you must learn how to grow your own food. Hunting and foraging skills can get you far, especially if you're very experienced. However, if you want a steady and much more reliable source of food, you must grow it yourself. Knowing first how to garden and then how to preserve food means you're more likely to satisfy your nutritional needs in a post-SHTF world.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpg
If you start learning how to be a gardener today, you'll be saving a lot of time and other resources you might not have down the line.
Medical and dental skills
These are some of the most crucial survival skills. If you're looking to barter, your medical (including first aid) and dental skills will probably be the most in-demand skill in a post-SHTF world. Knowing how to stitch up cuts, clean scrapes, set broken bones, deliver babies and take care of another person's teeth is perhaps one of the most valuable skills a community of survivors can have. Learning even basic first aid will make you an invaluable asset to anybody you encounter after a disaster. Medical skills such as first aid takes months, if not years, of training to properly master, so starting your journey to better preparedness now by, for example, learning how to tie a tourniquet, will save a lot of lives. (Related: Increase your chance of survival: Common causes of death during a disaster and how to avoid them.)
In today's world, specializing on one certain skill is seen as a great asset. However, in a survival scenario, this can be a problem. Being a jack of all trades will be more beneficial, as you can't always rely on other people to get things done. When SHTF, you can't call a repairman to fix something in your house; you can't call a fast food joint to deliver food; and you can't call an ambulance when you're in an emergency. Learning these three valuable skills now can help you survive TEOTWAWKI.

Prepping for the unexpected: What to do before, during and after a sudden disaster

Every year, natural disasters kill around 90,000 people and affect nearly 160 million more worldwide. Just a few days ago, the Taal volcano in the Philippines blew out clouds of volcanic ash over 62 miles north, covering much of the island of Luzon, including the capital city of Manila, in a thin layer of ash. In the same vein, a series of massive earthquakes have been ravaging Puerto Rico since late December. Satellite images have even shown that the territory's landscape has changed.While overall, disaster preparedness is getting better, there's still a ways to go. Here are some of the things you can do before, during and after a sudden disaster that may save your life. (h/t to ApartmentPrepper.com)
Before the disaster
The first thing you must do is beef up your supplies. Your emergency supply kit must be enough to sustain each person in your group for three days. This means having at least three gallons of water per person (one gallon a day). For food, you should have enough non-perishable goods that everyone in your group will be able to consume around 2,000 calories per person per day. Make sure to keep a good variety of nutritious foods in stock – proper nutrition will be all the more important when preparing for a disaster. Some long-lasting vegetables, fruits and grains along with naturally preserved meats will keep your diet balanced and healthy.
Some rudimentary first aid supplies are also necessary. This means bandages, creams or ointments, splints and a suture kit. Many preparedness stores sell first aid kits that will have most, if not all, of the essentials you need. Make sure to consider the needs of the most vulnerable members of your family or group as well, such as infants, the elderly and pets, who may need special items like diapers, a walker and dog food. Don't forget to bring emergency blankets, flashlights, a multi-tool, a knife and a means of keeping yourself updated to the news such as a radio.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpg
Consider the disaster you may be facing and prepare safety items specifically for it. If you live in a flood-prone area, buy some rain boots. If you live close to an active volcano, prepare protective eye wear and respirators.
Lastly, prepare your evacuation plans. What is your mode of transportation; how much gas will you need; which roads are you going to take; and where are you going? These are the important questions you must answer when planning your evacuation. If you're living in a disaster-prone area, your local government may have evacuation plans already in place. Ask them for a copy of these plans and prepare accordingly.
During a disaster
For many disasters, staying home is a good choice. However, your individual circumstances can make staying home impossible. If you plan to bug out, secure your home before you leave. Anything outside that can be stolen or swept away must be brought inside, unplug all your electronic devices and appliances such as computers, WiFi routers and even refrigerators. Lock all your doors and windows and turn off your water valves and propane tanks.
Before you leave, double check everything in your emergency kit to make sure you don't run out of gas, food or medical supplies. Leave a note on your kitchen table or somewhere conspicuous providing some basic details about your evacuation: the time you left; who's with you; and where you're heading. That way, if something happens, people you know will be able to find you.
Lastly, don't forget about your pets. Their safety is just as important as your family's. Pets should be evacuated with you and their specific plans must be arranged, such as where they're staying, how much food they'll need and if they need any special medication.
If you decide to stay home, make sure you're well-stocked with food and supplies to last until either the disaster is over or until rescue teams reach you.
After the disaster
Once the worst is over, your health as well as your family's should be your first priority. Provide them with all the medical attention they need. If necessary, contact neighbors and local responders for assistance.
If you evacuated, head back home once the local officials give their approval. If the disaster affected your home's foundations, take a tour around the house before letting your family in to make sure it's all safe, and proceed with caution until you can hire someone who can inspect the house more thoroughly for you.
Prepare yourself mentally when you arrive back home. When the disaster ends, you might start experiencing depression, having panic or anxiety attacks or even post-traumatic stress disorder due to the heavy nature of what you and your family just went through. Reach out to friends and loved ones and seek mental health assistance immediately. (Related: 11 Ways to maintain your mental composure during a crisis.)
The best thing you can do in the face of a disaster is to prepare for it. Be it a hurricane, earthquake or a volcanic eruption. This means not just crafting an emergency plan, but practicing it. Run through your whole plan with your family at least once a year. Figure out if your evacuation routes are still viable, check to see if emergency phone numbers are still up to date and make sure to rotate your food, water and medical supplies to avoid ending up with stale or spoiled supplies. Without practice, all that preparation will amount to nothing. But with proper planning, you may make it out of any disaster better off than most.

Food storage tips: The top 15 foods with a long shelf life
04/27/2019 // Zoey Sky // 13.3K Views

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...ursu-Mason.jpg
You can store all sorts of items in your pantry as long as you have enough space. However, the key to having enough supplies when SHTF is storing foods that have a long shelf life. (h/t to MDCreekmore.com)The foods listed below can last for a long time. Still, you must discard any food item that looks, smells, or tastes bad. If mold or insects appear in your food, discard it immediately. Contaminated food can present serious health hazards if eaten.
Canned fish
Canned fish like salmon, sardines, and tuna are full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Unopened canned fish stored in a cool, dry place can last up to three years.
Canned goods
When buying canned goods, buy items that your family likes and won't mind eating a lot of if they have to. Depending on the variety, canned fruits and vegetables contain different vitamins and nutrients, which you will need to keep your strength up in a post-SHTF world.
It’s safe to eat canned foods at room temperature, but with the exception of canned fruit, most are better heated. Prepping your pantry: 10 must-have food items with a long shelf life.)
Cocoa powder
When stored properly, an opened package of unsweetened cocoa powder will last for around three years at room temperature.
Take note that pre-mixed hot chocolate powder contains dairy so it won't last as long.
Dried beans and legumes
This includes beans, lentils, and peas, which are low-fat, cholesterol-free sources of protein and fiber. Stock up on beans and legumes so you can make lots of filling meals.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpg
To rehydrate dried legumes, place them in a large pot and cover with water. Heat to a boil, then turn the heat down. Cover the pot loosely and stir occasionally until the beans are tender.
The time it takes to rehydrate beans depends on the size of the legume. Kidney beans may take about one hour to rehydrate while peas will only take at least 30 minutes.
Dried fruits and vegetables
Moisture promotes decay. Drying fruits and vegetables removes all the water to prevent decomposition. Dehydrated vegetables, like dried green beans, will last for about eight years in an airtight container.
Dehydrated carrots will last for about 25 years, while dried corn has a ten-year shelf life.
Dried fruit can last for about one year. Store dried fruits and vegetables in small airtight containers, like Mason jars, Mylar bags, or plastic bags. Each time you open the container, food is exposed to air and moisture, which lowers its quality.
Dried pasta
All types of dried pasta will last for about 30 years when stored correctly. Pasta has carbohydrates which provide energy and fiber, along with iron and magnesium, and a small amount of protein.
Honey
Honey's low moisture content and acidity makes it inhabitable for bacteria. Stored at room temperature, honey will last indefinitely. In time, honey may become crystallized. Just heat a crystallized glass jar of honey over low heat in simmering water until it turns liquid again.
Honey has antioxidants that protect the body’s cells from damage. Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can be used to treat burns and wounds.
Jerky
Raw meat can be contaminated with disease-causing microorganisms. Drying meat removes the moisture that allows foodborne pathogens to grow.
You can make your own jerky from beef or pork. To make jerky, slice raw meat into strips about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange strips on trays or baking sheets, but don't let the meat touch or overlap. Bake the meat in a 140-degree oven for 10 to 24 hours.
Alternatively, you can use a food dehydrator to make jerky at home. Vacuum-sealed jerky will last for about two years. Jerky contains iron, potassium, protein, and zinc.
Nut butters
Nut butters like almond, cashew, and peanut will last for about two years unopened. Opened jars of nut butter will last for about six months. Nut butters contain healthy fats and protein.
Pickled vegetables
Pickled vegetables are stored in jars that contain a solution of salt, vinegar, and water. The acid from the vinegar combines with naturally forming acids in the vegetables to slow down the decaying process that makes fresh vegetables go bad.
Unopened jars of pickled vegetables may last for about two years.
White long-grain rice
Brown rice will last for about one year. However, its bran contains oils that can go rancid.
White long-grain rice is a food staple that will last indefinitely as long as it's stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The bran has been removed from white rice, which means it can last much longer than brown rice.
Rice is full of carbohydrates. It also contains magnesium, vitamin B6, and a bit of protein and fiber.
Rolled oats
Oats are full of fiber, iron, potassium, zinc, and other essential nutrients. Stored in an airtight container, oats will last for about two years.
Salt and sugar
Store salt and brown or white sugar in an airtight container and they will last for a very long time.
Sugar is still safe to eat even if it hardens over time.
Store survival food properly to extend their shelf life so you can keep your family well-fed even after SHTF.

Upcycling for preppers: How to turn a broken freezer into a mini root cellar

Proper storage of home-grown produce is an important prepping skill any gardener should have if they want to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Freezing is a great way to enjoy fresh produce all year round. But even if your freezer breaks after long use, you can retain its usefulness in preserving food by converting it into a mini root cellar. (h/t HomesteadSurvivalSite.com)Old-school cool
Before the invention of refrigerators and freezers for food storage, people had root cellars. The pioneers used to store their food in them for years. These cellars are underground storage areas used for storing things like fresh vegetables, garlic, grains, and potatoes. They didn't even need temperature-regulating equipment back then because the dirt surrounding the cellar can keep the temperature levels balanced throughout the year. (Related: Storing food without a refrigerator: 25 different kinds of root cellars.)
People assume getting a root cellar would be an extremely arduous task and that it isn't worth the time, effort, and money to build and maintain. This is a reasonable concern when building a large root cellar. Fortunately, there are cheaper alternatives. All you need is some ingenuity and creativity, you don't need to mimic the pioneers to have a useful DIY storage system.
There are four factors you need to understand about a practical root cellar: Darkness, humidity, temperature, and ventilation.
An adequately built root cellar should be easy to keep dark and should have proper insulation and moisture management. It should also have ventilation that can draw in cold air while expelling warm air out of the storage area.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpg
Here's how to create your DIY root cellar from a broken freezer:
- First, attach a wooden section called a collar to the top of the freezer. You can use 2x12 pine planks to make the collar.
- Cut out 1.5-inch slabs of foam for insulation. Attach them to the insides of the collar.
- Afterward, cut out ventilation holes using a jigsaw. Insert two PVC elbows for intake and exhaust.
- Using mildew resistant silicone adhesive, glue the collar to the freezer. If need be, place the lid and a weighted object on top to secure it in place.
- Finally, you can reattach the lid to the collar.
You can watch the video below for a visual tutorial on how to make this DIY cellar.

Tips for storing food in a root cellar
Now that you have your root cellar, you need to know how to use it. Having the best root cellar in the world won't save your food from rotting if you don't know how to store them properly. Here are a few tips you can follow to prevent this from happening:
- Never wash vegetables before placing them into the cellar. The water leftover from washing can affect the humidity of the entire cellar, jeopardizing the freshness of the whole stock. Instead, you can shake off excess dirt.
- Handle your fruits and vegetables with care. Bruised or cut fruits can release a hormone called ethylene that could accelerate the ripening process of produce around them. This reduces the shelf life of everything inside the cellar.
- Space out vegetables to prevent excess heat from generating. Ensure there is enough space for proper air circulation in the cellar.
- Fill your cellar as late into the season as you can.
Even if you already have a working refrigerator or freezer, a root cellar is a useful addition to your home since it allows you to store food without needing electricity.

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...Sage-Basil.jpg
Herbs aren't just used to enhance the flavor of food. When SHTF, preppers know which medicinal herbs can be used to address different health complaints like headaches or a sore throat.It's easy to grow various kinds of medicinal herbs in your garden or on your patio. Even if you live in an apartment, you can grow herbs on a windowsill right in your kitchen, all without spending a fortune.
Before you use any of the plants included in the list below, consult a healthcare professional to determine if they will interact with any medication that you are currently taking.
Here are 10 medicinal herbs that preppers need in their garden. (h/t to HomesteadSurvivalSite.com)
Basil
https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...od-300x169.jpg
There are several varieties and sizes of basil. However, holy basil is the most popular because of its healing benefits.
Basil functions as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, and it is used to prevent illness and infection. The herb can be used as an antiseptic for scrapes and cuts. Additionally, it can relieve tension headaches since it has muscle-relaxing qualities.
Fresh basil can be used to make a medicinal tea that can address a cough, indigestion, or a sore throat. The herb is also used to relieve congestion due to colds and painful insect bites or stings.
Bergamot
https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...st-300x200.jpg
Bergamot, which is also called Oswego tea or bee balm, is an aromatic herb. Add bergamot leaves to salads if you want to make a delicious and nutritious dish.
Bergamot is used to ease digestive issues, lower a fever, and to relieve headaches. You can apply fresh bergamot leaves to your skin to heal pimples and other blemishes.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpg
To make bergamot tea, put a handful of bergamot herb leaves and flowers into a teapot. Pour at least two cups of boiling water over the herbs, then cover the pot. Let the tea steep for five minutes. Add a little honey if you want a sweet tea, then serve while still hot.
Chamomile
Chamomile is often used for its calming properties, but the plant can also help relieve an upset stomach. Additionally, chamomile can help treat skin irritations and acne scars. Chamomile is also used to calm babies with colic.
Cloves
https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...er-300x169.jpg
Cloves, the aromatic flower buds of the clove tree, are used as a numbing agent for tooth pain. Use clove if you have a dental emergency while you’re living off the grid. If you have a toothache, apply clove juice or clove oil to the area that hurts for immediate relief.
Cloves are used to address dental problems because of their antibacterial properties.
Additionally, cloves contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Fiber can help prevent constipation, vitamin C can boost your immune system, and vitamin K is an important nutrient for blood clotting. Cloves also contain manganese, an essential mineral that can support brain function and help build strong bones.
Lavender
Lavender is a fragrant flower with calming effects. The flower can be used to make a topical antiseptic for the skin. Lavender can relieve digestive problems and headaches, and it can help induce sleep. (Related: Medicinal wildflowers to harvest when hiking.)
Lemon balm
https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...-2-300x191.jpg
Lemon balm is easy to grow, and this versatile herb can be used to treat digestive problems, insomnia, and wounds. Lip balm made from lemon balm can soothe cold sores.
You can ease digestive problems with lemon balm tea. To make the tea, use two tablespoons of fresh lemon balm leaves or a tablespoon of dried leaves for each cup of boiling water. Let the mixture steep for an hour, then strain and add honey or lemon before drinking the tea.
Oregano
Oregano, often used in Italian cooking, is an aromatic and flavorful herb with many healing properties. The herb can help treat digestive issues, headaches, menstrual cramps, muscle pain, nausea, and toothaches.
Oregano oil can be used to treat insect bites and burns. Finally, inhaling the scent of oregano and oregano oil can help open up nasal passages.
Peppermint
Inhaling the scent of peppermint, sometimes called "the world’s oldest medicine," can help relieve nausea and vomiting symptoms associated with motion sickness. Peppermint can also promote oral health and prevent bad breath.
Thyme
Thyme is a popular herb used in French cooking and can help ease cold symptoms like congestion, coughing, and indigestion. The herb can also be used to make a poultice that can reduce throat pain. It also supports the heart and circulatory system.
Wooly lamb’s ear
Wooly lamb's ear is called "Nature’s Band-aid" because the herb's soft leaves can be applied directly on minor cuts and scrapes to slow down or stop the bleeding. The herb's leaves also have antibacterial properties that can help prevent infections.
Wooly lamb's ear can also be used to reduce the pain and swelling caused by bug bites and rashes. If you have an upset stomach or diarrhea, drinking wooly lamb's ear tea can make you feel better.
Plant these useful herbs in your garden so you always have access to medicinal herbs when SHTF.
