Video Description
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
