Prepping For Planet X or Other Cataclysmic Events

I decided to bring this one out of the archives (was written in January of this year) since you never know when it might be of use to someone.

The article/guide is not intended to stir any hysteria or anything of that nature, but just to serve as a general guide and is written by the writer “Doomsday Dave” who wanted to share his personal take on what might be helpful to have in case of a catastrophic event. Hopefully you find it useful in some way.

While his main intention of his list was for Planet X’s arrival it would still be useful for other catastrophies.

Be sure to read the excerpt taken from one of Dave’s article (at the end of the list).

Here is his list of what he feels would be beneficial in prepping for a disaster type event:

Below is an excerpt from one of Doomsday Dave’s articles entitled “Surviving An Apocalyptic Event Anecdote…”Trying To Do The Job Alone”:

“You are going to encounter many obstacles trying to survive by yourself, like gangs going house to house looking for their next meal and there is no way you will be able to fight them off even if you have an array of weapons. Getting help and having a commune of many people is far better.

Having lots of people means there will be many skill sets that you and your family will come to rely on. The ideal amount of people to have around you is about 150, some will have guns and will be able to fend off any intruders, some will have medical skills, some will know how to farm, some will be able to build things that you will need, so don’t fall onto a pile of bricks because it will be all over for you and your family. Remember it is easier to stay alive in a group than going solo.”
