Urban and Suburban Preppers: The Forgotten Majority

by Daisy Luther
DaisyLuther.com

Have you ever noticed that most Americans live in cities are large towns, but most of the information out there for preppers relies on a plan that will only work in a rural environment? While books like Strategic Relocation (also available as a documentary) and this one listing the 5 best bug out locations in the US are excellent sources of information, what about those who have numerous excellent reasons to stay put in their current location?

According to the US Census Bureau, more than 80% of our national population lives in urban or suburban environments. Add to this another statistic: 96% of Americans live in an area that is subject to extreme weather events.

By ignoring this demographic of suburban preppers and insisting that anyone who wants to survive must make a pilgrimage to the Outer Boondocks and live there in a shack without running water or power, dining off of the same deer you killed in the fall all winter long and hoping to make it until spring, the prepper community does a huge disservice to this majority.

Here’s a plan specifically for Urban and Suburban Preppers

I’ve always been very vocal about my dislike of this discouraging perspective, so when I heard my friend Rory’s interview about urban survival, I knew that I had to post it here.

You can go over to Rory’s website to get a free downloadable evacuation plan that goes along with the interview. http://thedailycoin.org/2016/08/10/full-spectrum-survival-urban-preparedness-survive-and-thrive/
