The internet is a wonderful tool for information gathering. The resources I have collected in this post contain the various survival websites, blogs, forums, videos, reviews, and other useful data stockpiles I have found and continue to make use of on a weekly basis.
These resources can help provide knowledge and lifesaving skills to anyone; from a beginner just getting started in the world of self-sufficiency to lifelong preppers safe and secure in their underground bunkers. Never stop learning. You may own every piece of survival gear possible but without the proper knowledge of how to implement and adapt those tools when something goes wrong, you’re SOL. Don’t get caught off-guard. Prepare. Learn. Survive.
