5 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF SURVIVING A CAR CRASH.

      Car crashes are common. Here in the US, you are likely to experience a car accident about every 18 years. If you begin driving when you are 16, this means you will likely have at least one accident by the time you are 34. Throughout your life, you will probably have three to four auto accidents. Fortunately, most of those accidents will not be deadly for anyone involved.

      Only three out of one thousand incidents are likely to involve fatalities. Of course, those statistics won’t mean anything, if you or a loved one is unfortunate enough to be in one of those deadly crashes. You can improve your chances of surviving a fatal crash by taking a number of important steps.

MAKE IT OUT ALIVE: 20 SURVIVAL ESSENTIALS.

      Truly, it’s hard to be ready for anything. And prepping for every possible disaster or emergency scenario could take up more of your life than a full-time job. Still, letting everything come as it may is equally – if not more – foolish. So, it’s best to situate yourself somewhere squarely in the middle.

10 Essential Tips for Surviving a House Fire

     In a normal survival situation, fire is something you need for things like light, heat, protection, and the ability to cook food. But in the event of a house fire, it can become your biggest enemy and something you need to escape from immediately.

     Many people have tragically perished in house fires, and if you don’t want the same thing to happen to you or your family, you should take these 10 essential tips very seriously.

Write Down An Escape Plan

     First and foremost, you need to actually write down a formal escape plan. Or more appropriately, multiple versions of an escape plan. Not only does your escape plan need to clearly describe which routes you can use to evacuate your home, where you will meet afterwards, and so forth, it also needs to designate a leader and how you will contact the authorities for help

The Ten Best Post-Apocalyptic Survival Vehicles.

     We asked you what you think the best post-apocalyptic vehicle would be, assuming you could fuel it up and were unable to stay in one place due to the lack of other resources (and likely abundance of radioactive zombies looking for a tasty brain to munch upon). The response we received from commenters was phenomenal.

     We've culled the comments down to our ten top responses. Some we expected and some we didn't, and we even had a quasi-fictional vehicle thrown in for some fun. After you've had a moment to take a gander at the zombie-fighting machines-o-war below, drop all the way down to the bottom and help us cull the wheat from the proverbial radioactive chaff and determine the ultimate ride for living through the bleak world that awaits us.

Zombies real or not?

I have watched many Zombie movies. I’ve always thought it was just something that Hollywood has made up. Now that I’m learning how to prepare my family for the everyday disasters that could happen, I have found some interesting information on Zombies.

        I found it odd that scientists are so obsessed with studying zombies. If it has sparked the interested of scientists there must be something to it. I started reading more into it and found that not only are there studying them they also have a bunch of unanswered questions. Here is what I found.
       Questions like “How many people can a zombie attack in a day?, How likely is it that those victims will be infected?,  How quickly can Zombies be killed? How will our population’s rate of zombification change as people become more skilled at killing or evading the undead? What happens if we find a cure?”
This may seem crazy but a team from Cornell University developed a simulation for a zombie outbreak in the continental United States and worked out the best places to hide.
       The Centers for Disease Control has even recruited zombies to teach the living about emergency preparedness. In 2011, the agency floated a blog post titled “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.” It featured the CDC’s usual advice about having a plan in case disaster strikes, but added the thrilling context of surviving a zombie attack. "If you're prepared for the zombie apocalypse, you're also prepared for hurricanes and flooding.”
        My conclusion is leaning towards the thought that it could happen. I am going to do more research on this matter you more on this over the next several months. In the meantime it won’t be a bad idea to be prepared for any situation. Couldn't hurt.
