Tourniquet:
The leading cause of death on the battlefield is blood loss. A tourniquet can be applied to a limb in case of a large wound or arterial bleeding. Arterial bleeding can cause death in less than three minutes, which makes a self-applied and improvised solution very inadvisable.
Waterproof Pen and Paper:
It will be necessary to take notes, copy orders, draw range cards, and other tasks which require paper and pen. However, regular paper will be easily ruined in wet conditions, and typical ballpoint pens will bleed and wash off if they even write at all.
Emergency Ration:
This is just a small amount of calories to keep on hand in case one is caught without the rest of their gear. Military forces often carry a ‘field stripped’ MRE; that is, and MRE that has been taken out of its bulky wrapping and stripped down to the most calorie dense components, then taped together into a more convenient package to carry.

Fixed Blade Knife:
A full tang survival or combat knife serves as a final line of defense in case of close contact with the enemy, and facilitates various survival tasks such as processing wood and cordage or striking a ferro rod. No one knife will be designed to excel at all of these tasks, but a knife with a full tang, plain spine, high carbon steel content, and shallow, simple and non-serrated grind should be fine in most circumstances.
550 Cord:
A hank or prepared guy lines of 550 cord will allow the user to quickly construct expedient shelters and lash together gear, among many other survival tasks. In combination with the Poncho, a prepared 25’ ridgeline and several 3-5’ with knots pre-tied will allow the user to construct an emergency shelter in a matter of minutes.
Hydration Carrier:
Staying hydrated is extremely important during high stress, high exertion combat and survival scenarios. A one-quart canteen or hydration bladder carried on the L.B.E. should be considered a critical piece of equipment.
Water Purifier:
Another piece of basic survival equipment that is duplicated in each line of equipment. One can survive for extended periods of time without food, but without a clean source of water, chances of survival drop drastically and quickly. Iodine tablets should be carried as an emergency measure, and water filters should be carried for more permanent use.
Flashlight:
A flashlight facilitates navigation, gear handling and target identification in low-light situations in circumstances where light discipline is unnecessary.
Lensatic Compass:
As with all other basic survival items, this is duplicated in more than one line of equipment in order to create redundancy. A military style lensatic compass allows the user to shoot an azimuth to known landmarks for purposes of navigation and orientation.
Fire Starter:
A fire starter is basic survival equipment, and one should be carried in each line of equipment to create redundancy in case of loss. A ferro rod with striker should be carried as a first option, and lighters and matches can be carried as backups.
Poncho:
A military Poncho is a lightweight, multipurpose piece of gear. It can be used as a poncho in order to keep one’s person and equipment dry in case of rain, and it can be used as a tarp to create field expedient shelters.
Poncho Liner:
The Poncho Liner, or ‘woobie’, maintains survivability and comfort when sleeping in the field in lieu of a full sleep system.

Cookset and Stove:
This will include instruments for heating and eating food and boiling water. If a 1 quart canteen is being used, a steel canteen cup makes an excellent, space saving option for a small pot. There are many different types of stoves available, but a solid fuel or alcohol burning stove will take up the least space and weight when compared to a gas stove. An additional benefit to solid fuel stoves such as Esbit stoves is that they can employ small sticks as fuel, meaning that fuel shortage will rarely be an issue.
Entrenching Tool:
Modern entrenching tools are folding shovels that can be employed in several configurations for a wide variety of tasks. They can be used as a shovel, pick, root saw, chopping instrument, seat, and if worse comes to worse, a weapon.
First Aid Kit:
In contrast with the IFAK, which is meant to provide immediate, temporary treatment to life-threatening injuries, a general first aid kit should include items used to treat minor cuts, stings and burns. A minor cut may not seem like a big deal, but if left untreated it can become infected.
Items for treating foot-related ailments should not be overlooked. Foot powder or baby powder can be used to keep feet dry and healthy. Moleskin can be used to isolate blisters and prevent them from becoming worse. Waterlogged or blistered feet can make an already stressful experience soul-crushing.
Hygiene Kit:
Any items necessary for personal grooming and maintenance shall be included here. It is important to maintain good hygiene during extended time in the field. Baby wipes can be used in lieu of running water for a field expedient bath. Additionally, sunscreen and bug spray are important outdoor items.
Extra Clothing:
Extra clothing, in particular extra socks, should be kept dry inside the pack. At the very least, it is vitally important that a dry set of clothing be kept to change into at night when the temperature drops. It may not be fun to wake up and change back into a wet set of clothes, but it’s better than hypothermia.
Thermal Layers:
A thermal base layer (top & bottom), fleece jacket liner and fleece or wool watch cap will help maintain body temperature at night, and can extend the working range of a sleeping bag considerably.
Wet Weather Top & Bottom:
Rain gear should always be available in case of adverse weather. Military issue Goretex jackets and pants are well worth their cost.
Bandana/Shemagh:
Basically the only piece of cotton advisable in the field, a cotton bandana has a litany of survival uses. It can be used to filter large particulates out of water. When combined with ground up charcoal from a camp fire, it can even be used as an emergency water filter. It can be used as a bandage, splint, container, and of course a face covering.
Water Proof Pack Liner:
A waterproof bag of some type should be used to line the ruck in order to protect the items inside. Given an airtight seal, it will make the pack buoyant. At the very least, a couple of large trash bags should be used for this purpose.
Cordage:
An additional hank of 550 cord, or even a length of rope, should be stored in the ruck.
Water carrier:
And additional two quart canteen or water bladder should be carried in the ruck, expanding water capacity of the full kit to at least three liters. Water should be kept topped off as much as possible, particularly if using canteens or water bottles; sloshing water is noisy.
Maintenance Kit:
Weapons and equipment maintenance is a critical task. As such, a weapons cleaning kit, sewing kit, and small selection of basic tools should be carried in the ruck.

PETROL BOMBS
KNOW THE FACTS, TAKE PRECAUTIONS NOW.
1. A fine metal mesh cover on the outside or inside of your windows can slow down a petrolbomb, buying you time.
2. OUTDOORS: Remove all wooden furniture and items near the house that can catch fire.
3. Cut away any dry trees and plants, also highly flammable trees.
4. Plant plants around the house like with a high water content.
5. Spray down the out buildings, garage(s), sheds, yard, plants around your house, roof & the outside of your house with your water hose, if you expect problems.
6. Move your water sprinkler system switch to your bedroom, turn it ON if you see or smell any smoke outside. Turn some of the 'sprinkler heads' towards the house.
7. Make sure the rain gutters are clean and leave free - will burn easily!
8. INDOORS: Remove anything flammable close to the windows (chairs, tables, etc.) to a corner out of the way.
9. Spray the curtains down with water if you are being attacked with petrol bombs.
10. Ensure that you have a second route of escape, should the doors be blocked (need to break windows/cut burglar bars)
11. Charged cellphone, Panic button, Torch, Fire blankets, BUCKETS of sand, Towels and water, etc. in place, somewhere safe and out of sight in your house.
PLOTS and FARMS - Have a long hose pipe permanently attached to a working tap
12. Have your valuable documents, photos, maps etc. in a carrybag.
13. Have bags with 3 Sets of clothes, socks, underwear, comfy shoes, toiletries & chronic meds ready for each member of the family at the door.
14. Don’t suffocate from smoke. Smoke from house fires is extremely toxic. If the house is filled with smoke, crawl along the floor towards the safest exit. Wrap a wet cloth around your face to breath through. If you have to run through smoke or fire, cover yourself in a wet blanket & hold your breath.
15. Start doing fire drills with your family now!
16. Make sure you can extinguish small fires yourself. During riots the fire brigades are stretched by the number of fires. Make sure you can tackle small fires yourself by having buckets of sand, water & serviced fire extinguishers.
17. Ensure that you have working smoke alarms fitted to alert you to a fire. Make sure you check that they are working on a regular basis.
18. PERSON ON FIRE: Make sure you can extinguish a person on fire. Keep a non-flammable blanket or large fire blanket ready to wrap around a person OR roll the person on the floor to extinguish the flames. Have a bucket of water placed in a suitable place.
"Petrol fires can be extinguished by smothering with wet blankets, wet towels or sand buckets. Only use water if the fluid involved is of a small quantity. If the amount is large, a little water will spread it; but a deluge of water will smother."
1. Get out of the "hot spot" immediately and do not stop"
2. Always keep a fire extinguisher in your car, within your reach, not in the boot. Know how to use it!
3. Keep calm, get to a safe area & evacuate your car.
4. Keep passengers at a safe distance away from the car.
5. Make sure to have your cell phone, car keys, & personal selfprotection on you. Always stay wary of your surroundings.
● Keep a 2L fizzy soda drink - Coke, Fanta etc. in your car within reach - Shake, direct it to a fire & spray! The logic behind this is all fizzy drinks contain carbon dioxide, which is an inhibitor for combustion!
● DO NOT try to remove any fabric that is stuck to a burn.
● DO NOT apply creams, ointments, lotions or butter to any burn injury because infection may occur & complicate the injury.

Thank you to @AfrikanerBoer for giving us a shout!
Go and follow them: those who do not know what's going on in South Africa should definitely give them a sub. It's shocking and frankly barbaric what is happening to our White brothers and sisters... Support them and lets get them also to 300+ subs? 👌🏻

Things to know and do when SHTF
WHAT IS PREPPING:
》It's not just about the pantry - although you need to know you have enough to eat & drink;
》It's not just about weapons - although you need to be able to defend yourself;
》It's not just about health - although if you're sick you won't last long & your chances of survival is less, plus you become a burden to those around you;
》It's not just about fitness - although you need to be able to be quick & quiet when the situation calls for it, & being unfit make it more difficult & strenuous to do so;
》It's not just about skills - although that will come handy super fast: knowing how to defend yourself, knowing how to keep warm, etc. will always come in handy;
》It's not just about knowledge - knowing what to do in what situation, how to forriage which plants & shrubs, how to self-medicate, etc. is always useful;
》It's not about overcoming yourself - although in tough situations you need to know you can rely on yourself to persevere, exercise grit, practice self-discipline, etc.
Prepping is about ALL of these things... you cannot neglect one for the other. Balance is key.
Happy Prepping folks! - and remember, try to get the whole family involved. 👌🏻
