Modern survivalists make a strong effort to have their preparatory activities also benefit their everyday life. They use various techniques to: save money, increase opportunities and improve overall quality of life.
Generally, a modern survivalist, will pay the most attention to the following aspects of survival; many of which dovetail into one another:
| Disaster Preparedness Planning | Planning out your own strategy, of how you will handle unusual situations, by brainstorming on the most likely situations and coming up with plans in advance. |
|---|---|
| Debt Minimization | One of the most common disasters, is not natural; but man-made. Debt is something that we get ourselves into; but must not rely heavily on it. Excessive debt can eat away at our resources, making it impossible to take opportunities when they arise, because we're too bogged down with debt. Debt also is a major risk, in the event that we lose a major source of income and risk having to pay debts while starved for income. |
| Growing Our Own Food | Most people have the ability to at least grow a small percentage of their own food. With the proper techniques, such as BiointensiveGardening, we can turn a relatively small portion of land into a food factory. Growing food provides us with food security, potentially saves money and provides an alternative to obtaining food from external sources, which can also be used as a source of income or even a source of trade. |
