The Survival Rule Of 3’s Infographic

While looking for the Monday Infographic I came across the survival rule of 3’s infographic from Willow Haven Outdoors.

It is a short but sweet infographic. I realized I haven’t covered the basics of Survival in a few years. The survival rule of 3’s is a core tenet of survivalism. 

The Rule of 3’s is:

  • 3 Hours without shelter. 
  • 3 Day’s without water
  • Three  weeks without food

Those are the basic rules. Some have added more. Like 3 seconds without security, 3 minutes without air and three months without love. But we will stick to the 3 rules of 3’s. 

3 Hours Without Shelter

This rule of 3’s rule is for 3 hours in extreme weather. Like all the rules it is an approximation. Obviously, you can survive just fine in the shade of a tree on an island paradise in perfect weather. 

The problems come in with extreme conditions. Rain and cold weather come to mind first. There is also extreme heat and sun exposure. Basically, the further weather gets away from ideal conditions the faster you are going to need shelter. 

3 Day’s without water

After shelter on the rule of 3’s water is next up in importance. Many worry about food first which is plain wrong. You can survive 3 days easily without food. 3 Weeks is a long time and many have gone longer. 

Three days is a short time. So You need to get water fast. Focus on water before you think about food. 

3 Weeks Without Food

Your last rule in the rule of 3’s is Food. The record for fasting is longer than three weeks but that doesn’t mean you can be a record setter. 

After your shelter and water are squared away you have a 3-week window to get food. This seems like an easy task in 3 weeks but Naked and Afraid shows that it might not be. 

Enjoy the Survival Rule Of 3’s Infographic Below.

Weapons For A Zombie Apocalypse

Zombie Week 2016 continues! Today lets talk about weapons for a zombie apocalypse. These weapons will work great to get you through a zombie uprising. 

Even  though I am a huge fan of the zombie genre I do not believe zombies apocalypse will ever actually occur. For me, it is more metaphorically. So This article could be used for weapons for whatever two legged vermin during an SHTF. 

It is easier to talk about bashing in a zombies brain than your neighbor that is hungry. That is why I talk about building community. I would rather give a neighbor a bag of rice over a bullet.

Survival Instructions For The Zombie Apocalypse Infographic

 

It’s the week leading up to Halloween and I love it. Zombies are what got me into survival. It’s a silly way to get into it but it’s true.

Today I have Survival Instructions For The Zombie Apocalypse Infographic for you. I found this on Pinterest from Grocery Coupon Network. Proof that everyone loves zombies. 

The Survival Instructions For The Zombie Apocalypse Infographic begins with zombie speed in media. You can see that for the most part, they have got faster over the years. With the exception of the Walking Dead Tv Show. 

Fast Zombies scare me. 

The survival supplies section is pretty sparse but accurate. 1 gallon of water per person per day, non-perishable food and first aid.

The weapons section relies solely on melee weapons. No guns on the list. I feel this is a mistake. Nothing beats a subsonic .22 to kill zombies. 

The Survival Instructions For The Zombie Apocalypse Infographic ends with info on barter goods. The three categories it lists is Alcohol, Ammunition, and Gasoline. Those are a good start. 

I would add entertainment and precious metals to that list. Silver and gold have always had value. Initially in a zombie outbreak, they would not but afterward, yes. For entertainment, I mean books, magazines etc. People always want distractions from the world.
