The world will experience a dramatic shift after TEOTWAWKI. There will be a lot of new challenges and new ways to survive. Here are some things you can do to prepare for these new challenges.
TEOTWAWKI Survival : Food, Water and Shelter
Food is essential for survival after teotwawki. To ensure you and your family are fed enough, it is important to keep yourself and your family well-stocked with healthy and tasty food.
You'll need plenty of food options to survive the transition from teotwawki or SHTF, no matter if your home is a house or a bug out. It's a good idea to stockpile food that won't spoil quickly, such as meat, fruits and vegetables, and dried beans.
A great way to ensure you are able to have the food you require in times of crisis is to grow your foods. It is difficult to grow food, but it is possible with a few modifications to your current growing habits.
Plant perennial plants to make it easier. These plants will continue to grow year after year. This will reduce your gardening time, and you can harvest the crops you desire when you need them.
You can also choose to plant some herbs and spices in your teotwawki garden. These herbs can enhance the flavor of your meals and provide medicinal properties. You can even grow garlic or sage or turmeric to supply your body nutrients when you are most in need.
Your home should be safe during teotwawki. Protect it from the elements. Although you might not care much about your home's appearance for safety reasons, you should.
Your home must be kept warm during teotwawki. A portable heater is possible, but it's easier to keep warm in a home that has been constructed with insulation and fire resistance.
Initially, it is possible to not have access power. It's crucial that you can power your devices, such as your television or radio, with a battery backup. You can also set up a solar power system to help you with this.

For those who don't have a compasse, you can use a rock or tree as a guide. You would still need to find a landmark to orient yourself by, but at least you'd know which direction was north.
