What do people really need to be self-sufficient in if society faces a prolonged crisis? In this video, I go beyond the usual basics of food, water, and shelter and look at the major systems people need to consider if they want to be more resilient and better prepared for a long-term emergency. I cover:
- Growing food
- The best types of food to grow in a crisis
- Electricity and backup power
- Water security
- Medical and healthcare needs
- Security and community
- Tools, repair skills and maintenance
- Communication and staying informed
