Someday you may end up having to fend for yourself on a much larger scale than you can even imagine. With no grocery stores, supply depots, online shopping opportunities or other retail outlets, you’ll have to scavenge and/or create the majority of your supplies and gear after an apocalypse… or you just might run short on days.

Taking the time to learn a few DIY projects and how to handle tools, equipment and materials are great ways to prepare for true independence at the end of the world or during a survival situation like a Zombie outbreak or attack. With time and practice you can learn how to do everything from making fire-starters, weapons, defenses, clothing, medical supplies, structures and more… not to mention repairs to your basic gear and home base.

Once you know how to take care of yourself and make your own gear, you’ll be one step closer to outliving the undead… not to mention likely saving a bit of cash along the way, and that’s a very good place to be. Start prepping today.
