A place to share information on emergency preparedness as it relates to disasters both natural and man-made.

Would you survive in the event of economic, political and social collapse? What natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes are prevalent in your area? What can you do? What should you be doing now? What do you need to know/have?

This is a community for those who think that it's better to be safe than sorry, and that we need to start preparing now.

Lifestraws are not the most user-friendly filtration device. If you're really stuck drinking from a muddy puddle you're probably going to want two bottles, a scrap of fabric as a pre-filter so you don't clog your actual filter, and a more ergonomic filter (i.e. a sawyer squeeze if on the go, or a gravity bag system if in place). Scoop the mud water with one bottle, pre-filter into the other bottle, then use your filter.
