What would happen to you if a disaster were to hit tomorrow?
What would happen to you, if someone tried to break into your home, and harm you and your children?
Do you have the knowledge, skills, and physical strength to take care of yourself and your loved ones?
I think it’s fair to say that we would all try to survive, in any situation.
After all, as women, that is one of the things we do best.
But do you really have the knowledge, skills and strength to meet these situations and/or disasters head-on?
Not too long ago, I was like a lot of you …I had no clue as to what was going on around me.
I consider myself a 'girly-girl'. My main focus has always been on bling and things (stems from my desire to be a princess as a child I guess).
In the past, for me, the closest thing to looking at a newspaper was on Sunday, when the department store sales flyers came out.
And, I might hit on a second or two of the nightly news, but that was purely by accident, while searching for my favorite TV shows.
I had know idea what was happening in our world, with climate changes, crime and social unrest due to the ever worsening economy.
I lived in one of the nicer neighborhoods in my city.
Now, three nights a week, sheriff’s helicopters circle with search lights on.
Several people have been shot and killed in robberies just down the street in my former "nice-little-upscale-neighborhood" mall.
For me, the last straw came after two people who had just robbed someone at gun point tried to car-jack me and my car as I left a downtown parking garage - that was the day my eyes were opened to how unsafe our world had become.
Then is when I began to educate myself.
I looked up the definition of SURVIVOR: - to remain alive or in existence; - to carry on despite hardships or trauma; to persevere, and - to remain functional.
Thinking back to our mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers - this is what they did - they knew how to survive.
Sadly over the last 100 years we have become a society of consumers.
So, unless you have experienced camping in the wilderness (the hard way in a tent- not in an RV with a shower, air conditioning and hair straightener) you probably don’t have the slightest idea how to survive in a situation where there is no food, no shelter, no protection.
It is for this reason, I created this web site- geared specifically for women … women (girly-girls) who were just like me not too long ago.
Women who thought they lived in a safe, cushy world, and thought that all the “bad stuff” only happened to “other people”.
This web site will cover topics on how to survive everything from disasters (man-made and natural), to pandemics, riots, economic collapse, home invasion, self defense, weapons, food storage and more…basically what you need to know to secure your home and protect yourself, in any survival situation.
I have learned through personal experience that survival is that gut-instinct where you tap into those bits and pieces of information mentally stored along life's journey.
Surviving is a mind-set.
This site is not about complaining, whining or crying. It’s merely about being prepared and understanding how to survive.
We all need to educate ourselves with knowledge and the necessary tools.
I now wake-up every day to face the world as it is, and in any situation, make the best of what may comes my way.
It is my hope that what I have learned, and the information I share on this website, will help you, to help yourself, as it has helped me.
My articles are not intended to be expert, legal or even medical advise - just one girl sharing with others.
