Kellene Bishop is an intriguing case to many of the general public who has perceptions of doomsday preppers as being grizzled ex-military with stockpiles of weaponry. She is proof that anyone can be a prepper, even a peppy Utah housewife.
1. Financial collapse - effect on groceries
Taken with a touch of suspicion because this was the situation offered by national geographic however I believe there's something to be stated in the translation of a debt crisis to the food store. Sovereign debt and corporate debt are two distinct things, and you don't have to worry about food not showing up into your city till grocers around the world are going bankrupt.
No one goes starving when the stock market crashes (other than those who own stock). During the economic downfall of 2008, Campbell's was actually among the only stocks to increase. The media can portray monetary instability as very dire however it might take much to literally cut the supply of food.
2. Solar oven
I hope they went into this more. The concept of a solar oven is extremely attractive for the reason that it doesn't require any fuel and doesn't give away a place. The ability to stay hidden would be key to prevent possible raiders from finding who to target next.
3. Gourmet prepping
This is an extremely helpful idea. How many of you have got food in your pantry that has been sitting there for several weeks (if not years) without any intent of being used before the shtf? Kellene's habit of cooking the same food she intends to eat in case of a tragedy serves two fantastic purposes.
First of all, it enables her to rotate out older stores. A shelf stable food that has been in storage might not have a lot of time left if the SHTF. You would not want a 5 year source of canned food, lasting 5 years that has been on your rack for 4.
Secondly, it will allow her to truly practice the way she will survive. Most of us believe that we can survive on dry corn and beans but it might be a rude awakening that day the supervolcano/san andreas fault/meteor goes off. I have a sensation Kellene's life-style won?t take a drop at all once the big one arrives.
4. Defending the house
If there's something I am uncomfortable with it is the concept of bugging in. Since this show has aired, Kellene should have painted a big goal on her back. But even if she was not, the attention she was making it through educating and hosting courses is sufficient to draw attention. I really hope for her sake the people she teaches are willing to group together to protect the food stores because otherwise people will come a knocking.
5. The only one with one hundred lbs to lose?
I also disagree with Kellene's statement however it kind of refers to the above point. Physical fitness is immediately needed for flexibility and self-defense but in the long term is as essential to survival as having adequate food.
After the day, survival is all about staying alive. Excessive weight or obese is the next primary cause of preventable death in America, claiming approximately 300,000 lives in the US every year. The risk for heart disease, diabetic issues and also cancer have been related to having excess fat. Working to avoid one cause of death while disregarding another just doesn't sound right in my opinion.
6. Self-defense
Mixed feelings about this. On one hand, martial arts are a great way to build up the body and mind to be prepared for adverse situations. However, in a real disaster situation it is truly no hold barred and weapons is going to be linked to any altercation. Having false confidence in skills may lead one to more danger than having correct knowledge of defenselessness.
As a grappler of many years, I can state that the form being instructed and drilled in the video shown was poor and 'going through the motions' won't aid in any type of live situation. With grappling in particular, live sparring is important because things can get so complicated. One-off training is the kind of things which results in threat, persistence is the sole method one will be able to make use of martial arts.
