The core idea of survival training is to initially become familiar with the right things to do as you’re in the midst of a crisis situation or somewhere out in the wilderness, and then to apply it. Though you probably don’t expect to get lost by yourself or with friends/family at a certain point, you have to be aware that it could happen. Survivalism is all about staying in a prepared state of mind in case things which are not expected occur, and you can learn a lot from a good survival blog.
Regardless of whether you get lost somewhere far off in the wilderness or you’re stuck in the middle of a natural disaster, your survival instinct will probably remain the same. The reason why is because in all those instances you’ll have to rely upon your skills to make it.
Right now you can read lots of books, magazines and websites, but unless you’re prepared and know exactly what you’re doing, you don’t stand a chance. Make sure you pay close attention as you read your favorite survival blog as there’s a chance it resonates with you deeply and can bring plenty of useful information to the table for you.
You will notice that the best survival blog actually practices what it preaches, and so we’ve compiled a list of 10 worthy modern survival blogs you should make sure to follow on a regular basis.

What Survival Blogs Won’t Tell You: Here’s Exactly What You’ll Need For Survival
Survival blogs out there tend to share their tips and tricks for security during a worst case scenario or an emergency, so here is our list of well thought out survival tricks to learn.
First off, understand that these skills are universally applicable,
meaning that if you get caught in an earthquake you might need to apply
the same things you would during a civil war or a zombie apocalypse.
- Stock up or look around for food and water.
Though some people are lucky enough to be living in the wild
somewhere offering them a permanent supply of drinkable water, you might
not be as lucky.
As you’re going out into the wilderness you’ll have to know where to
look for food as well as how to tell whether certain foods/things are
edible.
Berries and mushrooms can be poisonous and kill you quick if you pick
out the wrong ones. Also you’ll be able to make your water drinkable
without much effort, as long as you have simple things such as a bottle,
fire and string.

Dont Have An Emergency Action Plan? Find Out What Makes A Good One!
It is of critical importance to choose wisely and then store your
survivalism foods because there's always the possibility you might
become stranded and dont have a single way to purchase supplies for
days, especially during the winter. Pre-packaged survival foods are
available out there and you can add your favorites, thus raising your
spirit. As you're in the process of stocking up the different foods,
make sure you pay attention to the individual needs of your family
members. Preparation is equal to a great emergency action plan.
The first necessity to pay attention to is water. You should have at
least a week's worth of reserve water supplies at all times. One gallon
per person a daily basis should be allowed to do things like wash up,
brush teeth or cook. The typical family of four will need around 30
gallons which will last for a while. Your water can be stored in glass
containers which will ensure it stays fresh.
One other essential is milk. Though your electricity might be out at
first, you're going to find milk packaged in cartons does not require
any refrigeration and comes with a long shelf lifetime. As you're in the
process of stocking up the survival foods, pay attention to their
respective expiry dates in order to know when to replace them. Your milk
can be used for things like cooking and goes hand in hand with cereals,
thus providing additional nourishment. In some instances powdered milk
is acceptable, though it uses up your water.

8 Tips for the Perfect Hiking Experience
Having made my share of mistakes in the great outdoors over the years, I have compiled a list of gotcha’s that can be applied to any outdoor adventure. I urge you to print this out and keep it with your outdoor gear. Hiking can be a most rewarding distraction from the daily grind, but safety should NEVER be taken for granted! especially when your fun day out could turn into an emergency survival situation.
Preparation
1) Plan your hike in advance. You are more likely to have a safe and happy hike if you “plan your hike, and stick to your plan”. To rush out on a big hike w/o proper planning is asking for trouble! ALWAYS notify someone close to you where you will be and how long you will be gone.
2) Know your terrain. Use every resource available to get to know your hiking trail before you set out. there is a lot of information and reviews online for the various hiking trails.This will prepare you for the walking conditions. “Are there streams to cross?, Elevation changes?, Is the terrain rocky or smooth?”, Just some of the questions that can be answered BEFORE you set out.
3) Be aware of the climate. Hypothermia is real, dangerous, and misunderstood. Hypothermia can strike in relatively warm environments. Hypothermia plain and simple is a rapid cooling of the body. This can be caused by cold, wet or a combination of both. Hypothermia can easily be prevented with proper preparation.
