Do you ever wonder if a major emergency situation occurred what would disappear first???Due to the overwhelming nature of prepping for a?emergency?situation, many do not know where to even begin, let?alone think of emergency situations they would need to?prepare for.

Having a?ready supply of food,?water?and batteries are?a good start, but not enough.? There are many more items to have on hand besides beans, band aids and bullets.

When planning for an emergency, especially a sudden and long-term emergency, think about the worst situation imaginable.? For those that need some help -?think of mass chaos of people running into grocery stores?to get as much food and supplies as possible, gas lines that run out into the street, highways at a virtual stand still, banks not giving out money, looting, fires,?the health of the elderly deteriorating due to not being able to get needed medicines, babies crying because that have no formula to drink.

It?s not a pretty picture when you allow yourself to imagine it.? Having supplies on hand can put a person way ahead of the game.? While?many who are unprepared for?such a grim reality?will be?battling the lines at the grocery stores, those that have prepared accordingly could be packing?their items up and?headed for hills?before?many have even?attempted to.

This author came across some advice from someone who has experienced a long term emergency first hand.? This advice could help a person prepare not only for their well being, but also mentally prepare them for getting through the nightmare of a long term emergency.

Advice From a Sarajevo War Survivor:

Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a war ? death of parents and friends, hunger and malnutrition, endless freezing cold, fear, sniper attacks.

1. Stockpiling helps. But you never no how long trouble will last, so locate near renewable food sources.
2. Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in Eden.
3. After awhile, even gold can lose its luster.? But there is no luxury in war quite like toilet paper.? Its surplus value is greater than gold?s.
4. If you had to go without one utility, lose electricity ? it?s the easiest to do without (unless you?re in a very nice climate with no need for heat.)
5. Canned foods are awesome, especially if their contents are tasty without heating.? One of the best things to stockpile is canned gravy ? it makes a lot of the dry unappetizing things you find to eat in war somewhat edible.? Only needs enough heat to ?warm?, not to cook. It?s cheap too, especially if you buy it in bulk.
6. Bring some books ? escapist ones like romance or mysteries become more valuable as the war continues.? Sure, it?s great to have a lot of survival guides, but you?ll figure most of that out on your own anyway ? trust me, you?ll have a lot of time on your hands.
7. The feeling that you?re human can fade pretty fast. ?I can?t tell you how many people I knew who would have traded a much needed meal for just a little bit of toothpaste, rouge, soap or cologne.? Not much point in fighting if you have to lose your humanity.? These things are morale-builders like nothing else.
8. Slow burning candles and matches, matches, matches
