We will also talk about self-defense, creating a bug out bag, generating power when the grid fails and even tactics that can help you survive if and when a right breaks out as a result of a disaster.

21 Reasons to Become a Prepper: Most Reasons People Prep are Reasonable

21 Reasons to Become a Prepper: Most Reasons People Prep are Reasonable was a free kindle book when this post was written.

 Preppers have been cast in a negative light in the past few years. They have become thought of as crazy hoarders who are collecting weapons and thousands of cans of spam in their basement waiting for the end of the world.

There are many reasons to prep that have nothing to do with the end of the world. Many people prep in case they lose their job or a storm hit knocking out utilities for weeks.

In this book I discuss 21 reasons people prep. Many of these reasons are reasonable. Several of them are a little unlikely. A few more are unrealistic, but can help prepare you for any unforeseen trouble in the future.

Hypothermia

Hypothermia usually occurs when the body temperature falls below normal. The causes of it could be being out in the extreme cold that is added with wet clothes and wind chill.

Symptoms of it is drowsiness, a lowered heart rate and breathing, and unconsciousness.

Treat it very carefully , if you have no way to get medical help. In an emergency situation.

The number one priority is to raise the body temperature of the person evenly and gently.

Get the person out of their wet clothing and replace it with dry clothing.

Place them in a sleeping bag in a warm area. Like, close to a campfire, etc. If you have to , get in the bag with the person so your body heat is helping raise theirs.

If you have the way to - get them in a warm bath.

If breathing stops perform CPR.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
