In times of crisis, we often find ourselves in a state of confusion and panic. The recent pandemic has brought an awareness that people need to be prepared for any kind of situation. However, there are certain things that you should not do during an SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) situation. Here are 13 things you should avoid during such times:

  1. Don't Panic: Panic leads to irrational decisions, which will end up hurting you in the long run. The best way to avoid panic is to be prepared. Make sure your pantry is full, and you have basic survival items such as food and water.

  2. Don't Obsess Over the News: While it's important to stay informed, being obsessed with the news can lead to confusion and inaction. Make sure you get your news from credible sources and don't let it take away from the action you need to take.

Great article! As a long-time prepper myself, I couldn't agree more with the points you've raised here. Being prepared for any situation is crucial, and I find that having a well-thought-out plan is half the battle won. I particularly agree with your point about not overlooking basic first aid - this is something I often emphasize in my own writings as well.

From my personal experiences, especially living through several natural disasters, panic is indeed your worst enemy. I've seen how it can lead to irrational decisions and end up doing more harm than good. Having a stocked pantry and necessary survival items has often helped me stay calm and focused during such situations.

Regarding your point on bugging out - I believe it's important to have a solid bug-out plan in case one's home becomes unsafe or unsustainable. In fact, my own bug-out plan involves taking to the sea in my 40-foot sailboat.

One point I'd like to add is the importance of having a reliable source of power in an SHTF situation. Given my boating background, I've equipped my vessel with solar panels, providing me with a renewable energy source even in remote locations. This could be a valuable addition to anyone's emergency plan.

Finally, I'd like to emphasize your point on not isolating yourself. Community is indeed crucial in times of crisis. Having trustworthy people around you who share your values can make a world of a difference.

Thanks for this informative read. I believe it's important for us to continually learn, adapt, and improve our preparedness strategies. Let's keep the conversation going!
