How do you survive when society collapses?
Almost everyone who keeps their eyes open has a premonition that we are heading for a catastrophe in which society will cease to function. And then? How to survive without electricity, without water, without gas and without internet? When the shops are empty? Without it being clear when the world will return to normal?
Book
Now, in a period in which the threat of a complete economic collapse is increasing and our politicians are driving us into a world war and demolishing our energy infrastructure, this book is more topical than when Berts wrote it.
On June 2, 2024, Berts told in a Dutch podcast [YouTube] how, as a military officer, he witnessed events in which his homeland, the Netherlands, could have turned into a war zone from one moment to the next.
Berts was shocked to discover that the media are unwilling, unable or not allowed to report on such near-disasters. As a result, people hardly realize how little needs to be done to finally put an end to their comfortable lifestyle.
Food supply
However, Berts noted that the Wagening scientists did not realize that under such circumstances fuels, machine parts and other vital products would no longer be available. As a result, agriculture would produce significantly less.
No knowledge required
How to Survive a Crisis is not a book for seasoned survival specialists who only need a piece of tape and a well-ironed towel to cut down a tree or kill a grizzly bear. Instead, Berts focuses on readers with zero knowledge of the matter. If they take the trouble to follow his realistic and affordable advice, they will be able to survive for a few weeks or even months after the Big Blow.
This realization alone provides inner peace in a world that is even more insane and unstable than when Berts wrote his book. It also allows them to remain calm and rational when the overwhelming majority of people will soon panic - and undoubtedly do excessive things.
Water
Leave this bottle outside for at least six hours when the sun is shining - and the ultraviolet rays will kill the germs. In cloudy weather this will require at least two days. You can read more about this stunningly simple technique here.
Another option is to add 3 drops of bleach - the concentration of sodium hypochlorite should be 5.25 percent - to a liter of filtered water. The germs are dead after at least half an hour. Exposure to daylight largely removes the chlorine taste.
The best solution to the drinking water problem is to purchase a filter. For 250 to 300 euros you can buy a filter that turns dirty water into clean water. In his book Berts mentions the types with whom he has had the best experiences.
Stay warm
Food
The advantage of pasta and rice is that they are edible without cooking. If you put them in water for a day, you can eat them. Cooking food may soon take too much energy or too much time. Moreover, cooking spreads food odors. In a period of chaos you may not want that. Food smells may attract looters.
You cannot survive for long on rice and pasta. To begin with, they contain too little protein. Long-life protein-rich products include corned beef, canned milk powder and canned fish. Preppers could also stock up on these, Berts advises.
Even with protein-rich canned food, a sustainable survival diet is quite one-sided. You will stay healthy a lot longer if you ensure that supplements can be found on the shelves in any drugstore for next to nothing.
Free
Berts' book is no longer available, but on the website of Berts' publisher there is a complete PDF, completely free and for free. It is written in Dutch, but if you can handle online translation machines this should not be a problem.
