Choice 2.1 Chapter 6 - Survivalism in this world (0.2)
Su Tianzong launched the browser and opened the commonly used search engine. First of all, the word survival will be, but unfortunately I didn't find anything useful, and it seems that there is no relevant organization in this world.
Then searched for "emergency shelter tool PSK", this time there were one or two related results, Su Tianzong looked at it, and the word PSK was related to the word survivalist.
Then there's the search for "survival freak", and there are results and there are many. A lot of information about survivalists appears in the results list. Su Tianzong found that there were people like survival freaks in the world he was in, and compared to the survival club, the survival freaks in this world still had personal hobbies without any organizational form.
Compared with the general introduction in the data cabin, what Su Tianzong saw now was much more detailed.
"Survivalism – a product of the era of the nuclear threat, prepares for the imminent outbreak of world war, personal and family security, and survives on your own or as a team in the rear, depending on the situation. Most of them are aware of the danger and prepared various contingency plans, live and train themselves and their families and friends in the most difficult way, and some countries and regions have stockpiled weapons, ammunition and medical supplies, and dug bunkers for the arrival of a major catastrophe that will collapse the world system. Survivalists are a group of people who are closely integrated with modern society, and they have the rationality to see through the essence of all phenomena, which makes them different from others, who only care about today and tomorrow. Survivalists care about how to survive tomorrow and have a deep sense of responsibility for their families, loved ones, and lovers.
A period of nuclear confrontation
In the period of nuclear confrontation after the end of the three world wars, the two poles of the world threatened each other with nuclear weapons. As a result, some people believe that the world war is about to break out again, and mankind is going to perish. They began to prepare for this, hoping to survive in the desolate land on their own. This group of people is called Survivalist, which translates to survivalist, survivalist, or survival expert in China. Although the Cold War has ended, there are still many survivalists. They focus on biowarfare, but also about terrorism, economic crises, meteorites hitting the earth, zombie viruses, and more. Among them, the zombie virus is a special code word in the survival freak group, which includes disease, plague prevention, and also marks various large-scale civil unrest, as well as refers to irrational aggressive groups.
Most survivalists are harmless, they are just worried about the sky, and they are actively preparing for life after the sky falls. A standard survivalist must first have a healthy and strong body in order to be able to adapt to the harsh environment. Survivalists pay attention to their health all their lives, and in addition to exercising and maintaining, they also have regular comprehensive medical check-ups. Secondly, survivalists need to learn knowledge for life to ensure that they can cope with the needs of skills in extreme situations. You need to know a little about medical care, geography, architecture, and military affairs. And basic skills such as sewing, cooking, building houses, making various leather goods and traditional handmade items, surviving in the wild, shooting and archery. Therefore, most survival freaks are not reckless people with developed limbs and simple minds, and most survival freaks are well educated, rational and cautious. As a survival freak, he is destined not to seek the best or the most expensive in his life, but to seek the safest. Survivalists will only wear clothes made of cotton or twill in buildings such as cities because they are fireproof. Survivalists don't like to go to crowded places, such as concerts and nightclubs. Because crowded places are prone to stampedes and terrorist attacks. Survivalists try not to fly, because they feel that they are not in control of their lives in the air, and most importantly, they can't carry a survival box with them, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
EDC concept
American survivalists have a concept called EDC, which is the abbreviation of EVERY DAY CARRY in English, which is something that must be carried every day.
While every survivalist's EDC will be different, cutting tools like wire saws are essential. Survivalists mainly choose cutting tools based on the environment. In some areas and places where knives are prohibited, survivalists will choose wire saws or even nail clippers instead. The wire saw is also a tool used by the survivalist to escape, as an ordinary saw, the wire saw is not qualified, but the cutting effect of the wire saw and the characteristics of easy concealment are very advantageous, and in the hypothetical state of being tied up after being kidnapped, the wire saw that can be hidden in the corner of the clothes can be used to cut the bundled rope for escape, and the cutting operation of the wire saw can be said to be silent, from this point of view, maybe this is the legacy of special forces, such as carpentry behind enemy lines. In remote mountainous areas where control is light, in addition to a large machete, it is no problem to carry chainsaws and gasoline saws on the basis of vehicle activities.
And due to the restrictions of aircraft security, wire saws have even replaced knives and become knives in aviation survival treasure boxes.
In addition to cutting tools, survival freaks must carry fire tools, and humans only began to differ from other animals after learning to use fire. Survivalists know this, of course, so at least bring a windproof lighter. Lighters and matches are not trustworthy for survival freaks in the wild, and their tools for making fires are magnesium blocks. This is a light and highly reliable thing, basically a piece of magnesium metal plus a flotting rod, when using it, first use a knife to cut some magnesium powder from the magnesium bar and then rub the ignition rod to hit a spark and ignite the magnesium powder. This tool can be used even after soaking in seawater, and a small piece can ignite a thousand times, which is the most reliable for survivalists.
In the field, lighters, matches are precious and can be kept in a humid environment for ignition, so the durability of the magnesium block and the performance of multiple ignition can be used as a regular fire in the field, so as to play the purpose of retaining a convenient emergency fire.
In addition to these two essential tools, the survival freak's backpack also contains a first aid kit, radio, flashlight, rope, notepad, map, compass, and other tools. This is almost the same as the equipment of the average outdoor adventurer, except that the outdoor sportsman only brings these things when he goes out for adventure and hiking, while the survivalist takes it to and from work, on a date, and picks up the kids every day.
All of the above are just the tools that survivalists hold every day, and standard survivalists have underground shelters. Of course, many Americans will have a cellar in their home, because the United States has to levy real estate tax every year according to the usable area of the purchased dwelling, but cellars, fireplaces, attics, and chimneys are not counted as usable area and are not taxed. That's why Americans like to dig cellars to store something, or simply live in it.
