Urban life is becoming more and more unsettling. You’ll never know when a total stranger will barge into your apartment in the middle of the night when you’re all alone, and everyone is asleep.
Here are ways to survive in a city apartment. (h/t to SurvivalBlog.com.)
Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: The Big Berkey water filter removes almost 100% of all contaminants using only the power of gravity (no electricity needed, works completely off-grid). Widely consider the ultimate "survival" water filter, the Big Berkey is made of stainless steel and has been laboratory verified for high-efficiency removal of heavy metals by CWC Labs, with tests personally conducted by Mike Adams.

Summer and winter can be extra challenging because of extreme temperatures that can pose dangers to your health and make it harder for you to think fast on your feet when needed.
Winter survival is challenging because extremely low temperatures can keep you from doing your regular chores. It can also create health issues. Stock up on blankets. You’ll find inexpensive fleece blankets on sale at Walmart, your local drug store, and second-hand shops. It’s a lot easier to keep a smaller space warm, so try staying in a small room. Install plastic sheets over windows to add insulation. Cover windows, doors, and exterior walls with blankets to add even more insulation. Keep as much water in your apartment as possible. Try getting one of those shiny survival blankets that reflect heat back to your body. You may also consider using a cold-weather mummy-style sleeping bag in lieu of the usual regular bed cover.
Surviving in the city can be pretty tough. But it’s harder when an emergency strikes. It’s best to be prepared than to regret your lack of foresight later. You can learn how to become better prepared by reading the articles at Preparedness.news.
