Survive the End Days
these can be affected by an EMP, you if you store them in a Faraday cage, then you will be
able to use it when the whole world goes off track.
Alternatively, you can find your way around using an expedition
compass, which will not be affected by an EMP, as the pathfinder
watches. Experts believe that Silva Compass Expedition 4-360 ($30), or
the Expedition 54 ($105) are the best ones on the market and are used
by Nato forces. They also come with helping features, such as magnifiers,
which can help you better analyze maps.
Surely, this can help with your sense of direction, but it wouldn’t be such a tragedy if you

body’s normal level of electrolytes, which will prove very useful, since you will be losing
plenty of bodily fluids.
I keep reminiscing how my grandma would use salt to relieve the pain caused by a bee
sting. She would simply rub a bit of salt on the small portion of the skin that has been
aggressed. It did wonders for me back then.
13. Alcohol
A bottle of two of alcohol will help you clean up wounds, when nothing else is available.
One shot of alcohol will help your relax your troubled mind and even induce sleep. This will
be of great help, especially in those dark times, in which we will all be pretty much sleep
deprived.
Alternatively, you can even use it for bartering. If you come to think of it, following the
tribulations, our whole society will go back to basics. Money will no longer exchange hands,
