Project Previews:
EMP Protection preview
EMP Protection - What good is having a power source and communication devices in the event of an EMP? Absolutely nothing if they are not protected from the high-energy electrical pulse. Everything if they are functional. There is a fair amount of uncertainty involved when it comes to EMP threats, and solutions are available that will provide protection in most circumstances.

Water Filtration and Storage preview
Water - The most basic building block of life. One cannot last more than a few hours to a week without it, and if accessible water is not drinkable, you will die.

Nourishment and Foodstuff preview
Food - The second most basic building block of life next to water. The time one can survive without food varies depending on circumstances such as body mass, but one cannot last more than a few days to a few weeks without it. During that time, the body starts functioning differently to reduce the amount of energy it burns. Eventually, starvation leads to death.
Food can be fairly difficult to find in quantities required to sustain life.

Foodstuff solutions ...
Shelter and Heat preview
Shelter and Heat - We need protection from the elements. The outdoors can be a harsh place and our bodies need some protection from the wind, rain, snow and cold.
Shelter isn't difficult to find or build, and heat is readily available if one has the knowedge and
resources to start a fire.
