survive wild

This is the place to be if you are thinking of joining one the prepping groups. There are a lot of benefits to joining a prepping community. It may also be worthwhile to start your own survival group. Consider recruiting family members and friends. Will they be willing to help? Do you have the knowledge and experience to lead a group of people? Take the time to consider all your options.

Origins

The decline of globalisation, as well as the private excavation abilities of new individuals, have all played a role in the development of prepping communities. Prepping ideology is centred on the new subterranean politics for temporal resurrection. While the concept of prepping is not new, the research has been largely superficial and based on popular representations. This is a problem because a lot of prepping communities don't have a prescient theory.

Characteristics

Preppers have a tendency to be anxious. This pessimistic outlook is primarily based on distrust in humans and a fixation upon negative events in the future. It's also due to OCD-type symptoms in men and the higher rates of anxiety. Preppers also have higher levels OCD-type symptoms, OCD, and depression than their female counterparts.


Media representations

Media representations of prepping communities can be superficial and naive. Reality is however, much more complicated. For example, Rightwing survivalists are motivated by racism and paranoia. Although the doomsday market serves their needs, most preppers in popular culture tend to be eccentrics, middle aged men who have a crisis of masculinity or religious zealots.

Adaptation methods

Adaptation is about adapting communities, ecosystems, or policies to the predicted effects of climate changes. Its ultimate goal is to mitigate the negative effects of climate changing, which include increased flood risk and severe weather events. Adaptation includes using climate change in their favor, since some regions may have longer growing seasons and higher yields. Communities must develop and implement adaptive practices to deal with the potential risks.

Personal awakening experiences

The body language of prepping communities changes. As the demographics shift, women only groups appear in some communities. The stereotypically white, heteronormative and nationalistic tendencies of many groups are rarely a problem. The vulnerability of others can be a source and source of joy as well as empowerment. It reminds society that the present is worth surviving. And this process is accelerating as more prepper communities emerge.

How to Navigate with or Without a Compass

Although a compass does not tell you where you're going, it can help you get back to your home in case you lose your bearings.

You can navigate using three different methods:

  1. By landmarks
  2. Magnetic North (using a compasse)
  3. By stars

Landmarks can be objects you recognize as soon as you see them. They are trees, buildings or rivers. Landmarks are useful because they provide a visual clue to where you are.

Magnetic North simply indicates the direction in which Earth's magnetic field points. If you look up at a skyline, you will notice that the sun seems to be moving across it. However, the earth’s magnetic field actually causes it to move around the Earth. Although it appears that the sun is moving across the sky and around the horizon, it actually does so. At noon, the sun is directly overhead. The sun is directly below your eyes at midnight. Because the earth's magnet field is constantly changing, the exact position of the magnetic North Pole changes every day. This means that sometimes you may be off course for quite a while.

Stars can also be used to navigate. Stars appear to rise and set over the horizon. These points are in space and can be used to locate your position relative to other places.
