How would you fair in a survival challenge?

Would you like to know?

There are a ton of shows on television now based on survival. Shows such as Ultimate Survival Alaska, Dual Survival, Naked And Afraid just to name a few.

The great thing about these programs is that you get to see what works and what doesn’t when it comes to putting survival skills up against the ultimate test “reality”.

So how does this apply to you?

You simply can pick up what is useful and what isn’t when it comes to your survival arsenal by playing your own survival challenge.

This survival challenge can either be done on your own, with a group of friends or with family members.
So the next time you have a day off try living without any type of power for 24 hours. See how well your urban survival skills compare to the real world.

Try cooking food indoors without getting yourself ill from fumes or smoking yourself out of the house. In an actual urban survival situation you don’t want to be cooking outdoors having your neighbours know you have food or a way of cooking it or else everyone is coming over to your place to loot it.


What is the best way to light up your place, will it be candles, solar lights etc.

How will you occupy your time and kids time?

How are you going to stay warm? Pitch a tent inside your house or use two tents by pitching a tent inside another tent. Is a large tent better than having a smaller tent?

Are you going to keep everyone in one small room covering window and door cracks? What about clothes? Are you going to layer clothes, use garbage bags, stuff newspaper inside your clothing. Try those “tricks” that you heard of and see if they actually work or which one work best for you and your family members.

By having an urban survival challenge helps you see what actually works and what doesn’t. It gives you a fun way to spend time with your friends and family and helps you be “truly” prepared for the real deal and shows you what you need to twick in your survival plan.

You don’t want to find out that what you learned was useless when you need the most. For practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.
