Humans have been able to survive and advance through the millenniums because of their minds. The ability to think and solve complex problems along with organizational skills has allowed humans to survive. Once people began to use their minds to develop machinery, physical strength did not mean as much, machines helped to do the heavy lifting.
You may not realize it now as you take a meal out of the freezer to slide into the oven that during a crisis all meals must be made by you, by hand from whatever raw ingredients are available. Poor cooking skills and not realizing the dangers of raw foods can endanger you and your family. It is incumbent upon you to learn how to process raw foods such as chicken, beef and other animals. Survival reality shows, for drama, may show a survivalist eating raw game or even fish with no apparent side effects. Wild game, fish and farm animals such as chicken and beef do contain parasites, bacteria and in some cases pathogens that can make you sick or even worse. The animals/wild game must be processed after the kill properly, and then the meat must be made ready for preservation and then be cooked in such a manner that all bacteria and parasites are destroyed. Cooking skills are vital.
You may only have yourself and family to depend on. Your tools may only be ones you can make yourself. This is where a need is identified and a tool or product is invented to meet that need. This is humans thinking and moving forward.
The so-called doomsday preppers believe that a disaster will soon strike knocking us centuries into the past. Years ago, families had their own gardens and farm animals such as chicken, swine and dairy cows. They in some cases milled their own flour; they smoked and dried their meats to see them through the winter. They put fruits and vegetables up in jars to last through the year. They could survive without ever going to the grocery store. However, there are things that you cannot grow or raise, but when it comes right down to surviving, you can get by without many things. You can begin gathering seeds and learning basic gardening skills. Learn the growing seasons and what plants thrive in your area.
Families dug their own wells and knew how to collect safe drinking water from natural springs; they put up well houses to protect their water from animals. You will need the skills to find and make your drinking water safe. Water is a priority and you must gather the knowledge to dig wells and to locate natural springs and know how to purify water.
Gathering knowledge is only half of the process, once you have the knowledge you must practice what you know. You will need to know how to improve your home or shelter and make fires. Practice your skills, you can begin today raising your own vegetables and begin learning how to can vegetables and dry fruits.
Letting the situation get the best of you is harmful. You must rely on your knowledge and training and have confidence in what you know. Thrashing blindly about when you do not have the answers is counterproductive. Practice your skills and reason your way through every problem.

It is important that you build up your survival skills in case of an emergency by doing such things as build uping a bug-out bag. Doomsday preppers prepare these skills in case of long term disasters as a result of hurricanes, earthquakes, solar storms and/or economic collapse.
