One of your top priorities when SHTF will be getting shelter. You could be in danger of dying within a few hours in severe weather conditions if you don’t have shelter to protect you from the elements. Ideally, your sanctuary should be made to last to increase your chances of survival.
The good news is that there are a number of ways to make your shelter out of quality materials and make it last. Once the SHTF, you will definitely want to be prepared for the long haul.

Bonus: How to Make Pemmican, the Original Survival Food
Invented by the natives of North America pemmican was used by Indian scouts as well as early western explorers.
Native Americans spent a great deal of time on the go and depended on having portable, high-energy, highly nutritious, and filling foods that would last for long periods of time without refrigeration.
Pemmican is a portable, long-lasting, high-energy food. It's made of lean, dried meat that's crushed into powder and mixed with hot, rendered fat. This makes it one of the ultimate foods to have stockpiled for when SHTF or disaster strikes.
