LOH Weekly Contest #253
The first prompt from @saffisara struck me as quite interesting, as it raises an important issue that many of us tend to overlook.
A survival situation isn’t limited to something like a zombie apocalypse, where—just like in the series—you have to stay constantly alert to survive.
Often, emergencies that require survival skills are far less spectacular than disaster movies or TV shows, but they’re no less challenging.
In my case, although I tend to imagine that anything from natural disasters to the collapse of civilization due to nuclear war could happen at any moment, I lack the basic skills or competencies to survive on my own beyond the first few hours.
My sense of direction is nonexistent—I never intuitively know where north is, and I’d need to see the sunset or sunrise to orient myself. I’ve even gotten lost while using Google Maps.
Starting a fire without a matchbox would be impossible for me, and let’s not even talk about eating animals, because I’d be incapable of killing them.
Without a doubt, being prepared for emergency situations is something we should all learn. Even with all the technology available today, we’ve already witnessed that prolonged power outages—and consequently internet outages—can happen anytime, anywhere. And in those moments, we become completely analog again.
La consigna número uno de @saffisara me pareció bastante interesante, ya que plantea un tema importante al que muchas personas no le brindamos la debida atención.
Y es que una situación de supervivencia no se aplica solo a algo del estilo de un apocalipsis zombie, en el que como en las series, hay que estar en constante alerta para sobrevivir.
Muchas veces las emergencias que requieren una habilidad de supervivencia son menos espectaculares que las series o películas de catástrofes pero no dejan de ser desafiantes.
En mi caso, aunque tiendo a pensar que en cualquier momento pueden suceder desde catástrofes naturales hasta el colapso de la civilización por una guerra nuclear, no dispongo de habilidades o competencias básicas para poder sobrevivir por mi cuenta más allá de las primeras horas.
Mi sentido de orientación es nulo, nunca sé donde está el norte de forma intuitiva, y necesitaría ver el atardecer o amanecer para poder orientarme, e inclusive he llegado a perderme hasta usando Google Maps!
Encender fuego sin una caja de fósforos sería algo imposible para mí, y ni hablar de tener que comer animales, porque sería incapaz de matarlos.
Sin dudas, estar preparados para situaciones de emergencia es algo que todos deberíamos aprender, ya que incluso con toda la tecnología disponible hoy en día, ya fuimos testigos de que en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar pueden producirse cortes prolongados de energía, y como corolario de internet, y en esas ocasiones nos volvemos totalmente analógicos.

Coincido plenamente. Nos hemos vuelto demasiado dependientes de la tecnología y hemos dejado la naturaleza y su conocimiento en el pasado
Así es querida , un abrazo.

Los eventos de catástrofes y emergencia nos dejan prueba suficiente de que la tecnología puede faltar o fallar en cualquier momento y muchos de nosotros no sabríamos qué hacer, cómo resolver los obstáculos, sin ella.
Cuando era niña, en la escuela existían brigadas de pioneros exploradores, donde un grupo de niños, con varios profesores al frente, salíamos al.monte, con un poco de agua, comida y soga, para aprender a "sobrevivir" con lo poco que llevábamos.
Obviamente está práctica era solo simbólica, acampábamos al amparo de una fogata y al otro día regresábamos a casa. Todo un día con su noche sin usar móviles, ni artefactos de tecnología avanzada.
Tal cual, nos volvimos dependientes, y hasta podríamos sufrir crisis de abstinencia por no tener internet jeje.
Que buenas actividades para los niños aquellas que tuviste, siempre es bueno enseñar a los más pequeños nociones básicas, como buscar refugio seguro, y cuidar las provisiones para que duren en caso de que necesiten ser rescatados.

El mantenerse alerta clave para sobrevivir en ciertas situaciones y a la vez mantener la calma y la sangre fría para poder pensar. Pero mejor que no lleguen esas situaciones zombie jejeje
Feliz día!

There are many ways to prepare for emergency situations, stacking up food and emergency tools, medicin etc at home. That is a important thing, but without skills in doing things like learning to build a shed, to make a fire without matches, cook without stove it can be Hard.
I have tools at home that you can use to start fire without matches or lighter, and a gasol kitchen if the electricity goes out.
But in nature.. I am like you.
I can fish, but to kill a bigger animal... I couldn’t 🙈
I Loove animals... Lol
Thank you for sharing and giving us things to think about. Have a wonderful week. Cheers 🌷
Yeah, that are essentially the minimum we should have at home, I remember when I was in a survivor forum, people also have the 3 days emergency backpacks hidden in a nearest zone... But as you said, know how to build refuge and make fire in nature is elemental for survive in nature, and know about savages fruits.
Thanks for your kindly support 🙏😸❤️

Preparation? Yes, that was what I have already done.
I live in a region of Canada that has been susceptible to earthquakes and tsunami and our officials warned everyone to make preparations amounting to at least three days worth of food, water, and essentials in the event of a major earthquake that would damage power, water distribution and an estimated minimum loss of 50% of buildings and homes. From recent examples all over the world I estimated four weeks as more realistic. I stocked sufficient food, a special water filter system, a tent, fuel heating and a solar powered generator as starting point. I hope it doesn't happen in winter.

Two winters ago there was an upper Fraser valley flood and it took far too long, much more than three days, for the Government to mobilize. That would be small compared to a magnitude 8+ earthquake could do. Victims were literally left out in the cold.
Good citizens had to step in where Government failed, so I won't fully rely on the authorities but expect to rely on our neighbors and ourselves.

I can totally relate to this! The part about getting lost with Google Maps is so real 😅 Your point about how we become completely analog without technology is spot on ✨ It's a great, honest reminder that we all need to brush up on our skills 🙌
Yeah, you're right, we should begin brushing up some basic skills! Thanks for your kindly comment 😊
