I normally write articles about preparedness that are action-oriented and actionable in the current moment. What does that mean? I want to offer folks ideas based on my own life that they can consider and try on for themselves immediately:  if not today, then in the very near future. Examples of this are my article on eating weeds, falling safely, and my most precious portable prep.

However, that little voice in my head has been whistling a tune for a few weeks about this topic: My Worst SHTF Fear. I don't always know from where or why these ideas come up, but I do like to listen to what I call my "little voice," as it has gotten me out of some tight scrapes many times. 

Whether your worst SHTF fear is similar to mine or different, I hope that this article gets you thinking, and perhaps, acting on some of your own intuition. As well, I welcome your comments below with any tips or advice you might have. This is a knowledgeable community!

What is My Worst SHTF Fear?

I know a whole bunch of plants that I can identify and eat, even on the run. I am physically quite strong for my age, although my back is my weak point. Before I hurt my back, I was decent with a compound bow, and could split my own arrow while target shooting. I know plant medicines fairly well, although there's always more to learn there. I have a well-stocked pantry and a range of options when it comes to water safety and filtration. So, while I'm by no means perfect, I do my best to be prepared for whatever may come my way.
