2 More Tips to Surviving a Disaster
Today's Tip 1 is about the importance of having your family practice your survival plan.
Tip 2 is to not obsess about bugging out. When possible the best place to weather a disaster is in your home.
What Would a Railroad Strike Have Done to Your Family?
Now that has been at least temporarily averted, I do have a few comments.
If there had been any kind of prolonged rail strike, you would have been boiling your drinking water if you had no backup water supply. Our water utilities all use chloramine, chlorine or liquid bleach to disinfect our water and kill bacteria. The vast majority of it is transported by rail.
A rail strike also would have wreaked havoc with food supplies. The US DOT reports that 28% of the nation’s food is transported by rail.
We started the Survival Supply House because we know that a large majority of Americans are not prepared for any disruption past a few days. As time goes on, I have a quest to serve. Helping people survive potential disasters is one of the ways I'm doing it.
Dehydrated and freeze-dried food is the BEST answer to ensuring your family is not scrambling to eat. It last 25 years, is light, and easy to store.
For $200 you can cover two people for 10 days. Don’t know what to get? Call me and I will help you by asking a few simple questions. If you to dip your toe in the water before you dive in, try a 12 meal box for $34.99 or a 16 meal sample box for $48. We'll ship it to your home for free.
Do you think the government will save you in a dire situation? Before you answer that question look at how well they've handled inflation, crime, and the border.
If you don’t invest in my supplies, buy something. This is insurance, just like car, home, or health insurance. You hope you never use it but are damn glad you have it when you need it.
Thanks,
Sgt Chuck
Protecting Against Strong Wind, Tornadoes, and Hurricanes
Protecting against strong winds, hurricanes, & tornados
The damage caused by these winds can be massive and when objects everywhere are becoming flying projectiles, you absolutely must know what to do to protect your home and yourself.
- Duct tape all glass windows, doors, etc.
Ideally you should have storm shutters that you can use to cover your glass windows and doors. But if you don’t, you can use duct tape as an alternative.
Stick long strips of heavy-duty duct tape across your windows and glass doors in the shape of an asterisk. In the event the glass shatters, shards will not be sent flying around because the duct tape will be binding the bits of glass to each other.
- Roofing and shingles secured
Make sure that your roof sheathing is securely nailed to the house so that the entire roof is not ripped off during a strong storm.
- Close your garage doors
The garage doors should be closed and strongly secured.
- Remove unsecured objects
If you have lawn furniture, garden decorations, trash bins, toys, etc. outside your home, you need to remove all of them and store them indoors.
A strong storm may pick up all these loose objects and send them flying right through your windows. The goal here is to reduce the possibility of projectiles striking your home.
- Your pool
If you have a swimming pool, do NOT drain or cover it. If you use a pool cover, a projectile that’s flung on it will totally rip the cover. The water in the swimming pool gives the whole pool weight and this will keep it in place.
During a storm that lasts for days, the ground will become saturated and when pressure builds up, it can dislodge the foundations of an empty pool or even pop it out of the ground. So, keeping your pool filled will prevent this from happening. There’s no need to worry about an overflowing pool if you have good drainage.
- Trees
Prune all trees close to your home or chop them down till they’re just a stump. Trees cause a lot of damage during storms because the huge branches fly off and crash into anything and everything.
- Cracks
Seal cracks in your walls so that heat doesn’t escape from your house and the strong winds will not cause interior damage.
We’ll cover home security in the next blog post.

Shelter Protection Improvement and Security
Protection/Improvement/Security
Below you’ll find a few points to take note of.
Learn how to turn off your electricity, gas, water, etc. If there’s a hurricane approaching, shutting off your utilities will ensure that there are no gas leaks or water gushing out of burst water pipes should there be impact.
Prepare a list of actions to follow. Write down exactly what tools you’ll need and how long it will take. During a crisis, you just need to refer to the list and quickly take action.
Clean all gutters and drains yourself or hire someone to do it for you. You want a house and its surroundings to be clean and clear. The roof gutters should be cleared for proper drainage when it rains.
If any parts of your house are damaged, fix them. A house with weak spots will be exploited and compromised by unrelenting winds and rains.
You may wish to have a safe to store all your valuables, important documents and emergency cash. Make sure the safe is large, waterproof and anchored to the ground.
Minimize hazards and reduce risks in your house.
Have a couple of fire extinguishers around the house. Check your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detector.
- Your gas lines should be checked for corrosion and/leaks.
- Make sure there is no mold in your home.
- Store all flammables in a safe, secure place. Do ensure that the storage area is ventilated.
- Keep a ladder in one of the rooms on the upper floors. In the event that you can’t evacuate through the usual route due to a fire or some other danger, you can get out through the window on the upper levels and climb down the ladder.
- Of course, you should make sure that your ladder is long enough to reach the ground.
- You need to come up with a few escape routes so that you will know how to react depending on the situation. Intruders, floods fires, and other circumstances can be unpredictable.
Make sure your family and you practice evacuation drills so that everyone is on the same page and doesn’t panic and run about aimlessly in a crisis.
We’ll cover security in the next blog post.

What do you think is the most important basic survival need in a time of crisis?
Did You Say Shelter?
If you said shelter, you’re correct!
Shelter is extremely important because it protects you from the elements. You need to be somewhere safe where the winds and other threats will not get to you.
Hurricanes, tornados, massive power outages / blackouts, floods, earthquakes. wildfires and snowstorms, can kill you, if you’re out in the open exposed to the heat and cold. Not to mention falling branches, flying projectiles or even lightning if you’re outdoors when a tornado is on the way.
Prepare for the kind of disaster which is most likely to occur where you live first. Is it hurricanes, tornados, forest or wild fires, earthquakes, power outages?
- Learn how to turn off your electricity, gas, water, etc. If there’s a hurricane approaching, shutting off your utilities will ensure that there are no gas leaks or water gushing out of burst water pipes should there be impact.
- Prepare a list of actions to follow. Write down exactly what tools you’ll need and how long it will take. During a crisis, you just need to refer to the list and quickly take action.
- Clean all gutters and drains yourself or hire someone to do it for you. You want a house and its surroundings to be clean and clear. The roof gutters should be cleared for proper drainage when it rains.

Your pool
If you have a swimming pool, do NOT drain, or cover it. If you use a pool cover, a projectile that’s flung on it will totally rip the cover. The water in the swimming pool gives the whole pool weight and this will keep it in place.
During a natural disaster, one of the first things to go will probably be your electricity. Depending on the level of damage, it may take a while for the power to come back on. You must be ready to cope with a power outage!
You have a few options:
- Flashlights
- Electric lanterns
- Candles (fire hazard: use with caution)
- Solar Lights (https://www.survivalsupplyhouse.com/ has many options)
Our next post will deal with what to do if you should have intruders (looters) come visiting during a disaster.

What is the Most Basic Survival Need?
The most important basic survival need in times of crisis is shelter. Even in the wilderness, your order of importance for the basic needs would be shelter followed by water and then food.
Shelter is extremely important because it protects you from the elements. You need to be somewhere safe where the winds and other threats will not get to you.
Hyperthermia, hypothermia, and other health issues can crop up if you’re out in the open exposed to the heat and cold. Not to mention falling branches, flying projectiles or even lightning if you’re outdoors when a storm is on the way.
Possible Threats
- Pandemics
- Snow storms
- Floods
- Terrorist attacks
- Massive power outage / Blackouts
- Earthquakes
- Home invasions
- Wildfires
- Tornadoes
- Riots
- Hurricanes
The threats listed above are just a few of the many out there. In order to get your home/shelter ‘survival ready’, you need to focus on 3 points:
What types of threats are you most likely to face?
If you live in an area that might be susceptible to earthquakes, you’ll need to prepare for those first. If it’s hurricane prone, then your plan needs to focus on making your home ready to handle strong winds.
Is your home strong enough?
You’ll need to assess the construction of your house. Is it made of sturdy material? Wood? Bricks? Metal? Are there any vulnerabilities? A roof that’s not well-secured may be ripped off during a hurricane leaving you exposed. You’ll need to fix it quick.
What’s the proximity?
This is a tough question to answer because disasters can be unpredictable. But knowing the geography of the area will allow you to know if you’re in the path of a flood? Or are you on elevated ground? Is there any natural protection? Are you close to medical help or miles away?
All these questions will provide you with answers that will help you plan your next course of action. To get the right answers, you must ask the right questions.
We’ll cover this in more detail in the next blog post.

10 Survival Mistakes to Avoid (6 thru 10)
We covered the first five of the ten survival mistakes to avoid last week. Here are mistakes 6 through 10.
6. Putting all your eggs in one basket
You should keep your food supplies in different parts of your house. If all your food stores are in the basement and your house gets flooded, your supplies will get damaged or wiped out.
The same applies to money and firearms. Don’t place all your money or firearms in one place just in case you get robbed.
7. Underestimating how much water you need
During a crisis, water is extremely important. You should store as much as you can. Many estimate too modestly and don’t have enough stored for a crisis. You need water for a variety of purposes ranging from drinking to showers to rinsing food and even for flushing the toilet. Ensure that you store enough water.
8. No support network
No man is an island. In the event you need to evacuate, do you have family and friends out of state that you can stay with? Plan all of this well in advance. It’s best to have a support network with people who have your back should a crisis strike.
9. Building an arsenal
Many love their guns and they can’t have enough. They stock up on all the different types of firepower that they think they’ll need, and they have a ton of ammo.
In reality, all you probably need is a shotgun, a hunting rifle, and handgun for personal protection. You do NOT need 25 different types of assault rifles to take on the hordes of zombies.
Firearms are costly and you’re better off using the money to buy food supplies and paying for a home security system or getting your house retrofitted to weather strong winds during a hurricane.
10. Forgetting about wilderness survival
In most cases, you’ll be better off staying safe at home. However, there may be times when you need to evacuate and leave the area. You might choose to drive to another urban location, or you might head for the wilderness.
During times of terrorist attacks, mob violence and other chaos caused by humans, heading for the wild might be your best option temporarily. You’ll be safer there because there’ll probably not be any dangerous people heading into the wilderness to cause problems for you.
You’ll need wilderness survival skills to survive in the wild. No matter how well-prepared you are for an urban scenario, when you’re in a jungle or desert or snowy area, you’ll be out of your element.

10 Survival Mistakes to Avoid (1 thru 5)
10 Survival Mistakes to Avoid (1 thru 5)
We’ll the cover first five mistakes to avoid in this blog post and the last five next week.
As with all things in life, even with survival preparation, there’s a right and wrong way to approach it. Starting off on the right foot will save you time, effort, money, and disappointment.
It’ll also mean that you’re actually ‘survival ready’ instead of just thinking that you are. Read the common mistakes below and avoid making them. Your survival depends on it. No pressure!
- Obsessing about doomsday
Avoid getting sucked into a vortex of paranoia where you constantly expect the world to end leaving only a few survivors behind. Stay rooted to reality. Focus on actual catastrophes that are already happening.
- Not having a plan
This a MAJOR mistake. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. You absolutely MUST have a plan. In fact, you May need to have several plans. There should be a Plan A and contingency plans B and C, if possible.
During a crisis, the unexpected and unpredictable is real and unfortunately, it’s the norm. That’s why you need to have a plan so that you have something to refer to and you can adapt, improvise, and overcome as you go along.
- Not focusing on your skills
Skills are more important than gadgets and supplies. The ability to perform first aid is a skill. Buying a comprehensive first aid kit is not enough. You should know how to do CPR, treat wounds, etc. Only then will you be able to get the best out of the first aid kit.
The same applies to firearms, camping gear, navigation equipment, etc. Being able to use the equipment you buy will require you to have skills. Focus on developing these skills.
- No practice
Practice is a learning process, and you can only learn when you do. All the theory in your head counts for nothing if you can’t execute effectively.
If you have a family, have drills that everyone can follow. A list of tasks and responsibilities for each member of the family will help. When crisis is impending, every one of you will be able to react instinctively.
Thinking takes time and during a crisis, you’ll not have enough mental clarity to devise a really good plan.
Obsessing about bugging out.
The idea of grabbing your gear and getting out of Dodge to go into the woods and survive is thrilling to many. They want to feel capable and adventurous.
The truth of the matter is that in most cases, staying at home and persevering through the crisis is a much better option. You only want to evacuate if there’s a catastrophic event like a hurricane or some hazardous chemical release in the area.
