Is urban survival even possible ? as in Singapore... everything is high rise and it does not have any natural supplies.. I wonder how am i going to survive if SHTF ... what to do if my preps run out..

 

[jontte]

well,urban survival is hard at its easiest,with that many people living there,I would prolly have plans to bug out somehow.

 

[Joshua_Alderson]

Hmm, bugging out would be hard for me ... because Singapore is not a very large place... but i will scout out places that is possible to do so..

Someplace that does not look like a haven. Natural hidden cave. Prefferably near a fresh water source.

 

[Joshua_Alderson]

Nice, but most of areas that have fresh water source.. is out in the open... so its kinda risky

with that many people in your surroundings,you'll have to be able to move quickly,un-noticed and have means to defend.
you obviously don't need to think about cold,but your gear must be able to take the punishment of the humidity and heat.
a hammock and a tarp could be nice,then you would not be sleeping on the ground with all the critters trying to eat you.

Problem is, over 5 million other people will be looking for a place too, and the "places" are scarce there.

I would think that if you have enough water, and can grow food using hydroponics or in flower boxes on the outside of the building, you might be able to just stay under the radar until the herd thins out a bit.

Eventually a post SHTF society will emerge, and you'll have to adapt to it, whatever "it" might be.

There WILL be survivors.

Roger that , alrights. I will keep that in mind... so that means i will hv to be on the move most of the time

Your surrounded by water with thousands of islands nearby. Find one that's off the shipping lanes and start stashing stuff there. Of course you'll need a boat.

learn all of the streets,side streets,alleys ,and other routes..if you haven't already..also learn the different locations of fresh water.they'll come handy if the water stops flowing through the pipes..i'm thinking that you most and likely live in a high rise of some kind,and because of that.is there water tanks/towers on the roof ,of where you live?if there is.notice all the plumbing.and figure out which one is your primary source of water..then learn where the shut off valves are for the other ones.so you can shut them off,if you need to..

 

[Joshua_Alderson]

I hvn't start planning my bug out route.. it should be a good idea if i do it now

[Joshua_Alderson]

Look at what just happened in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico. There are so many other scenarios that are FAR MORE likely to occur than SHTF. Every location has its own challenges...focus on yours.

Cover all your bases as far as essentials are concerned. Water, food, medical, etc. Know your immediate area. Have a backup for a backup. Think of everything you might need worst case scenario. And high rise buildings also have advantages most people aren't aware of. Think of maximizing advantages rather than focusing on disadvantages.

Also don't let this stuff completely consume your life. It's easy to get carried away in it all. Constant worry is not good for your health and your HEALTH is most important. Cover your bases and think of alternative scenarios but there comes a point where you still have to live your life. If you aren't enjoying your life then your losing anyway.

Most people on this forum are long retired with grandkids. They can afford to focus on different things at that stage in life that you might not be able to just yet. Do the best you can with your budget but focus on basic essentials first.

I liked Docs advise about growing your own food in pots. It would help now and in a SHTF scenerio. Anything that could by you sometime if you can not bug out. Personally I would just cause I think in the city will be the first place people will start looking for resources of food and water. If you do stay, might want to think about how to reenforce your doors and windows.

 

[Joshua_Alderson]

I think i might want to learn some hunting skills , tracking and stuff... and maybe primitive skills in case i need to bug out of the city..

 

[Dani]

I like old school ways. . . learn hunting, gardening, canning, drying, soapmaking, etc. Learn the old ways of doing things. These can all be used now so you get proficient with these skills and not trying to learn them in a have to situation.

Old school is always useful... esp skillsets

I don't know if the Foxfire series of books are available over there, but they are a good read of useful skills. Done by highschool students that went into the Appalachian mountains and interviewed the old timers. Lots of good information.
