This is an updated look at hypothetical survival scenarios‚ from our original post in 2017. We’ve added more scenarios to consider and will continue to update in the future to keep things fresh. Let us know any specific scenarios you might want to see. Survival scenarios are a great way to test your problem-solving skills. Just talking with other preppers about the many ways to solve problems is a healthy way to keep your mind sharp and focused. Full-fledged hypothetical survival scenarios are often used at emergency management agencies and the military to conduct preparedness exercises‚ do SERE testing‚ or to just teach people. Everyone can bring a different perspective to solving a problem or confronting a situation. We’ve made several hypothetical survival scenarios to test yourself‚ others‚ or to just get people talking. Hypothetical Survival Scenarios While they aren’t practical for planning‚ hypothetical survival scenarios with limited equipment choices are great for discussions‚ icebreakers‚ or just pondering. It’s always interesting to see what people prioritize differently for survival. These are very different than real life‚ where we are usually restricted by weight‚ cost‚ storage space‚ etc. Being restricted by item count is closer to how TV shows like Alone and Naked and Afraid work‚ and you’ll typically see smaller items like knives being left behind in favor of heavier items like pots. We have the survival rule of threes (which is just a rule of thumb)‚ but there is no technically ‘right’ answer to any of these scenarios. Rusty’s Deserted Island Choices I am not amazing at wilderness survival or bushcraft‚ but I would like to think that I am resourceful enough to survive with these resources. I think my choices reflect how I prefer multi-purpose tools to give me more opportunities in bad situations. Item 1: Flare Gun It looks like we get the gun here and four flares. I would bank on using two of the flares to start fires and try to save the last two to signal nearby ships for help. I don’t have much experience starting fires using primitive skills‚ so having a tool that starts fires and signals for help is a great addition. Item 2: Pot A pretty hefty cast iron pot would be a pain to move around‚ but it can do so much for your survival. The main use would be to boil any freshwater I can find on the island. I would cook with it and use it as a container if I had to. Item 3: Packable Kayak Deserted islands are usually pretty small. Small islands don’t have a ton of resources. I would plan on using the kayak to get out of dodge‚ if necessary. If I’m not going anywhere‚ I’m using the kayak to collect water or as a shelter. It’s a versatile pick and the only reasonable way you’re getting out- so it’s well worth the two picks it counts for. FJ’s Deserted Island Choices It will be interesting to see how many items we all have in common! I bet it depends on who watches the TV series “Alone”. On that show‚ they are allowed 10 items plus a photo! The items I chose specifically address what I believe to be the most fundamental needs of shelter‚ water‚ and food. Here are my four items: Item 1: Saw My priority for castaway survival is shelter. The TV show “Naked and Afraid” shows people on deserted islands getting burned badly by the sun. A shelter would keep you from getting wet‚ too hot‚ or too cold. With a saw‚ you could build the shelter you need. You also need the saw to cut down small trees for many other purposes. Some examples are a pallet to sleep on‚ benches‚ and shelves. You need the saw to cut wood for a fire. Also‚ to create a spear or arrows for hunting and self-defense. Finally‚ when you get bored‚ bend it and whack it with a rock to use it as an interesting musical instrument. Item 2: Matches You won’t last long without fresh clean water‚ so a water filter will keep you alive. But with a fire‚ you could boil water and make it drinkable. You can also use fire to stay warm‚ cook something you catch‚ and burnish sticks to shape them. The only item on the list to make fire is matches‚ so you need to build a fire and keep it running all the time (even in the rain). To do that‚ you need to know how to create and store embers that you use to restart the fire. A quick Google will present you with many ways to do it. Item 3: Rope A rope will be your lifeline (pun intended) for so many reasons. You can use it to tie a shelter together‚ build traps‚ and drag heavy logs. Also‚ note that the rope is multi-stranded. Just like the many fibers on the inside of the paracord‚ you can take some of the rope apart to make threads or fishing lines. Then you don’t need the fishing rod which will get clogged with sand quickly and stop working. Make a hook out of a shell or barbed bush limb and you have a reasonable fishing rig. Item 4: Pot How can you boil water without a pot?! I almost forgot this important item! It can be used to gather water and cook the food you catch. The pot and the matches are your water survival kit that will keep you alive longer. Also‚ note that it has a handle and a lid. Both can be used as tools. The handle could be shaped into a barb or gig. The lid could be used as a frying surface. The point is to use every part! My four items won’t guarantee survival but will give you a fighting chance to acquire the basic necessities of shelter‚ water‚ and food. The Final Word There are a few differences in our choices‚ but the same school of thought for the basic necessities. What four items would be your choice for these hypothetical survival scenarios?

Have you heard of the Disease X Act of 2023?  I hadn’t‚ until this week. In June‚ a bipartisan bill was introduced to the House of Representatives to develop medical countermeasures for viruses with pandemic potential.  Later in June‚ when the bill was introduced to the Senate‚ a section had been added suggesting a budget of $40 million per year for 2024 through 2028. This $40 million annually would be on top of the 5% of our healthcare budget we will be expected to pay the World Health Organization (WHO)‚ assuming the Pandemic Accord passes.   What is Disease X‚ how likely are we to encounter it‚ and how concerned should we be? Back in 2018‚ the WHO came up with the name “Disease X” as a placeholder for any disease that hadn’t been discovered yet.   The name “Disease X” gets thrown around in the press every few years for a few weeks at a time‚ stirring up fear of the next pandemic.  In fact‚ the New York Times referred to Covid as Disease X in a February 2020 opinion piece. And while the Disease X Act of 2023 was introduced to Congress quietly over the summer‚ in the past week‚ Disease X fearmongering has been everywhere‚ just in time for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos.   On Wednesday‚ WHO chief Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus will give a talk at Davos titled “Preparing for Disease X‚” in which he will attempt to sell the world on the “novel efforts needed to prepare healthcare systems for the multiple challenges ahead.”  This statement is based on the assumption that Disease X will be far deadlier than Covid. They’ve tied Disease X to climate change. WEF-affiliated figures like Tedros believe we should be living in fear of new diseases emerging due to climate change. What’s the rationale?  As permafrost melts and environments change‚ animals move around‚ and new interactions between humans and animals occur.  With increasing and varied human-animal interaction‚ so increases the threat of new diseases. We’re also supposed to be afraid of diseases mutating within livestock and then jumping to humans. This is actually a real issue. Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOS) have been known to spawn various strains of swine and avian flu viruses.   However‚ make no mistake about it.  Proposed measures within the Pandemic Accord will not be about improving animal welfare but about ending livestock agriculture and consolidating the food supply‚ as we’ve discussed elsewhere. If this sounds outrageous‚ look into OneHealth.  This refers to the idea that‚ since the health of humans‚ animals‚ and the environment is all interconnected‚ all sectors need to be looked at in conjunction with each other to address new diseases. We are all connected.  However‚ by linking animal and environmental health with human health‚ if the Pandemic Accord is implemented‚ governments will be able to take action regarding livestock practices if the WHO declares a pandemic.  It could also potentially give climate emergencies the same priority as health emergencies.   Again‚ this may sound far-fetched‚ but these conclusions have been drawn by people far more intelligent and qualified than I am.  In October‚ Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying‚ both professors in evolutionary biology‚ discuss the broader implications of the WHO Pandemic Accord as it relates to OneHealth. Wait…what about gain-of-function research? While it should be fairly obvious that any new pandemics will be blamed on zoonotic transmission‚ just as Covid was‚ I believe we should be far more concerned about the gain-of-function research that still takes place in laboratories around the world.  Chinese researchers recently developed a form of coronavirus that killed 100% of the mice exposed to it within eight days.  When Dr. John Campbell‚ a trusted British health practitioner‚ tried to draw attention to this research‚ YouTube removed his video‚ as explained by Russell Brand. The fact that mainstream media is trying to make us afraid of Disease X at the same time they’re trying to cover up gain-of-function research should be all the evidence we need that something nasty is being brewed up for the general population. Much of what goes on in the press is predictive programming.  In March 22‚ 2018‚ EcoHealthAlliance posited that Disease X might come from a cave in Guangdong Province. While it’s clear now that COVID came from a laboratory‚ in 2020 and 2021‚ groups like the EcoHealthAlliance spent a lot of time and money trying to convince the world that no‚ seriously‚ COVID came from bat caves. And though Covid was not particularly dangerous for young‚ healthy individuals‚ Disease X may be more serious.  The phrase “20 times deadlier than Covid” has been getting tossed around a lot.  I don’t think we should take it lightly. Three reason the next virus could be more deadly There are three possible reasons to expect a more lethal virus the next time around‚ besides the fact that the WHO and WEF keep saying to expect it. The first possibility is that the Davos-types have been surprised at the amount of pushback they received regarding the Covid response.  Many people‚ even in blue states‚ have gotten into the habit of ignoring recommendations.  Journalists like Matt Orfalea are making sure that the ridiculous things we were supposed to believe during Covid are not getting memory-holed. While I personally find the amount of peaceful noncompliance inspiring‚ I also don’t expect the folks at Davos to simply let this slide.  The British Covid inquiry has been postponed indefinitely for no clear reason. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Davos folks decided to throw something truly miserable our way out of spite.  Most of them should be fine. They’ve all got their Doomsday bunkers‚ as Daisy recently noted. The second possibility is that Davos believes if Disease X makes enough people seriously ill‚ the population will beg for the authoritarian controls Davos so wants to implement.  I’m not sure how that will work out; I think it depends on how tightly they can control the flow of information.  If they can convince enough people that Disease X emerged naturally‚ maybe average citizens will trust the “experts” enough to let them take the reins. However‚ if evidence emerges that Disease X comes from a lab‚ people are going to be furious.  The WEF knows this; it’s not a coincidence that their theme this year is “Rebuilding Trust.”  And the third possibility would be a desire for general mayhem.  Many of us have known since 2008 that our financial system is sick and that a crash is inevitable.  George Gammon explains here why he thinks the system will crash in March   He might get something wrong‚ but he’s not the only financial analyst anticipating a collapse fairly soon.   Naturally there will be a public uproar whenever that happens. An exotic disease can provide a major distraction.   Diseases = Mayhem An exotic disease could also distract from the many geopolitical disasters bubbling up around the world.  Or it could throw a monkey wrench into the next political cycle.  If we have some kind of Cyber 9/11 event‚ a disease could obscure who’s really behind it. And that’s the beautiful thing about disease if you want to create mayhem.  Diseases just happen.  And even if there’s evidence that gain-of-function research is behind new diseases‚ many people are not scientifically literate enough to seriously question what they are told by the mainstream media.   Thanks to modern sanitation and the availability of antibiotics and many other modern medicines‚ we should probably be less fearful of disease now than at any other time‚ simply because we have so many treatment options.  And‚ if we choose to do so‚ those of us living in countries with access to clean water and adequate food can take pretty good care of ourselves. However‚ we have not been told to take care of ourselves in the past few years.  We’ve not been told how amazing First World sanitation prevents most of the diseases developing countries still struggle with‚ such as cholera.  We’re not encouraged to get outside‚ get our Vitamin D‚ and exercise.  We’re not encouraged to eat healthy food.  We’re just encouraged to “trust the experts” and continue taking whatever newest pharmaceutical products they recommend. Don’t live in fear of Disease X. But take care of your health. I don’t think it’s wise to live in fear of the latest current thing; I do think it’s wise to take care of our own health.  I know Daisy’s been happy with the Wellness Company‚ a business that was created in response to the disaster created within the medical community during COVID madness.  I also think it’s wise to pay attention to what’s going on.  I’m going to watch Tedros’ speech when it’s available.  I want to know what they have planned. But I’m also going to plan my garden and continue planning for the future with my kids.  Prepping is not about living in fear; it’s about being situationally aware and doing your best with what you have so that you don’t have to be afraid of whatever comes next. What do you think? Any guesses as to what Disease X will be or how it will begin? Are you expecting another pandemic? How do you plan to handle it this time around? Will you make changes to how you responded the last time? Let’s discuss it in the comments section.
