What is SHTF?   Well, it could mean a lot of things that have happened in isolated areas

throughout the world in the past. 

It would be when there is a volcano eruption with loss of life and property.     It would also cause massive fires causing havoc to the area and the people in it path.  Fires burning for days with the public fighting for survival. You would have to learn to navigate to areas impacted with the fires and compete with others for the resource you and your family would need to survive.

There have been floods in the past that have taken lives and changed the way millions of people had to survive throughout our existence.   How do you stay dry and navigate through rising and rapid waters in safety.   This included learning how to protect and provide for themselves and their families in the new environment whether it was short or long term. 

There have been massive power outages that lead to panic and confusion.  Entire City’s and or country’s impacting millions of people.  Causing riots and bringing out the worst in some people  causing fear for the rest.  For most people, no way to stay cool or warm, have the safety of light, have a meal to eat, or just have a safe place to sleep, or just survive.  How do you protect yourself or family if you cannot see?

We should be thankful we have not had to deal with this type of SHTF situation recently.   No big fires, floods, or massive power outage.  Wait, we have all these just this year.   I wonder if they all were prepared.
