Knowledge Weighs Nothing

There are some fundamental survival skills everyone should know how to do but which many of us have never tried or even cared about. Do you know how to:

Floods are perhaps the deadliest and most destructive of all natural disasters. The rush of water can destroy buildings, wash away cars and people in a matter of minutes.

They can happen anywhere: cities, towns, the countryside. Even desert dwellers can be surprised with flash flooding. 

You only need to watch a few videos to see what can happen in the extreme cases, and flash floods happen all the time in the US.

If Super Storm Sandy taught anyone on the east coast anything, it's that huge winter storms can happen and cause incredible destruction and inconvenience.

Power outages are commonplace and can take weeks to restore, which leaves people without heat, hot water and electricity. 

You may not be able to drive due to snow, ice, and downed trees. That means limited access to food. Water pipes can freeze and explode without heat causing your home to become uninhabitable.
