Bad Habits 2

An apocalyptic scenario can include many events: An economic collapse, a thermonuclear war even a foreign invasion, to name a few.
If you’re not ready, any one of these events can dramatically change your life and threaten your survival.
We talk a lot about building good habits and skills to help you survive. But what’s discussed less often is getting rid of your bad habits.
This is an overlooked component of survival we really should be talking more about. After all, having bad habits standing in your way could be just as detrimental to your survival as not arming yourself with the proper skills and equipment.
Here are some bad habits to kick in order to survive the apocalypse.
Smoking is a bad habit many of us are currently guilty of. The amount of cigarettes smoked on a daily basis will dramatically change in an apocalyptic or collapse type situation. Cigarettes will literally be worth your weight in gold, munitions, and even food.
Cigarettes are considered a luxury first world countries have become used to. In order to ensure your survival, begin cutting back now.
Once this bad habit is kicked, any additional cigarettes you come across can be used to trade and barter for what you and your family truly need.
Drinking on a daily basis in not only bad for your physical health, but is a habit which should be naturally kicked for the betterment of your future.
Drinking during special occasions or holidays is usually much more socially accepted. However, if an apocalyptic event were to occur you should have this habit already kicked. This will allow you to be able to use any additional booze, beer or spirits to trade for items you will need such as ammunition and food.
If drinking is already not your forte, you should still learn how to make various wines, mead and even beer from scratch so you will have an endless supply of items to trade when alcohol becomes scarce and worth a lot more.
As citizens of a first world country, many of us have developed a habit of daily consumption. Whether it be unhealthy snacks, entertainment or a substance of some sort, we have succumbed to daily consumption of extraneous goods. For most of us, we don’t think twice about it.
Stop this bad habit immediately. In order to survive any type of apocalyptic event, such as an economic collapse or thermonuclear war, daily consumption must not be a habit of yours.
Withdrawal symptoms can occur for individuals who have become so adjusted to their daily life acceptance of anything else is literally impossible. So it’s best to get used to living minimally now, instead of waiting until you have no choice.
We all throw out and trash, and many of us recycle as well. Starting now, reconsider what is “trash” and what is recycle.
For example, many of us throw our table scraps into the trash; however, if you happen to garden or know someone who does, you can begin composting.
All your food, including meats, compost at different rates, and with the right amount of buckets you can compost all of your food and ensure a luscious garden of your own.
Consider what is recycling as well. Many cities take in one gallon milk containers as recycle, but if properly stored these containers can come in handy for when clean water needs to be stored or for bartering large amounts of juice if you have your own garden.
We all get bored and play video games, watch television, or just surf the web to pass the time. Kick this bad habit and get out and learn something. You can learn many things from the internet as well, but to avoid the bad habit of wasting your free time be sure to apply the knowledge you are constantly learning online. Whether it is DIY projects, recipes or survival tips, the point is to apply the knowledge. Sharing what you’ve learned is also a great way to impress your friends and family and get them started on their own path to preparedness.

Always Safe, Always Prepared
