bad habits

Have you kicked a bad habit to increase your chances of survival? If so, good for you! You've taken another step to ensuring you and your loved ones are prepared to survive an apocalyptic situation.
Some bad habits don't even involve addiction.
The average American family shops every three to five days at a major grocery store. Stop this bad habit.
Depending on grocery stores to have what you are looking for is a bad habit which can have drastic consequences if relied on too much.
Many families shop every few days in order to replace perishable foods such as dairy, fruits and vegetables. If you own a small yard or know someone who does, research what edible plants can be grown as well as what it takes to tend to livestock. Chickens, goats, and even rabbits can be taken care of in fairly small spaces.
When your pipes and faucets have problems, you call a plumber. When your electricity becomes faulty, you call an electrician. When your roof leaks, what do you do? We already know the answer. Stop the bad habit of spending money on someone else to fix your minor issues. It is understandable in dire circumstances when you need a professional; however, for the most part many of us can take care of our own issues. When it comes to your vehicle, mechanical issues can often be fixed and get you back on the road with just a little bit of research. Same goes with issues in your home. Becoming a Jack of all trades by learning to fix problems yourself, you can save considerable amounts of money and retain valuable knowledge to help you survive an apocalypse.
No one is telling you to not go to the emergency room in case of an emergency. Relying on medical aid is contacting your doctor or hospital for every ache, pain and sore. This should be avoided. Many of these aches and pains can be understood if we take the time to learn a bit more about our bodies. For example, many of us get prescribed various pain killers in order to dull pain. Learn where the pain is coming from and try using natural methods to correct it instead of relying on over-the-counter or prescription painkillers. Learn your body and you will learn to not rely so much on medical aid.
Although we are constantly learning through the internet, it is considered a bad habit to have to depend on technology for information. This bad habit can be overcome by maintaining maps of your area as well as possessing many books on various survival tips.
A big bad habit too many people have is relying too much on GPS for navigation. Relearning old-fashioned navigation skills could be a lifesaving survival skill.
Get out your compasses and learn the difference between magnetic north and true north as well as the inclination and declination of our north pole. Practice this by getting out in the woods or traveling through various unknown towns without GPS.
Trusting too many people will soon let you down. In an apocalyptic situation you cannot afford to do this.
The way society is now, we tend to lend and borrow money constantly, and many times it does not get paid back. This money is essence represents your survivability. It could be food, clothing or shelter the money provides for.
When money and society are no more, you can no longer afford to lend food, clothing or shelter. But if you have survival skills, you will always have something to offer.
You must never trust too many people, however — especially in a survival situation. Choose carefully who you will help and who you will trust to help you.

Always Safe, Always Prepared
