I know what you're thinking: "why do I need to scavenge when I have already stockpiled everything that I could possibly need?" But here's the truth, even if you're a lifelong prepper, there are still items that you may have forgotten. It's also possible that the disaster could last longer than you anticipated and you run out of something critical. Or even yet, it's possible that there was an item you never thought you needed but it turns out you do need. For example, what if you lose or run out of your prescription medications and you need to find replacement medication quickly? What if your vehicle breaks down and you need to find replacement parts? What if you run out of water purification tablets? What if you start running low on food or ammunition? There are a limitless number of scenarios where you could have to scavenge for supplies in a disaster scenario. Scavenging is not the same thing as looting or raiding. Whereas both of those things involve people using force to break into homes or business establishments to forcefully steal things (and perhaps even damage property or harm people in the process), scavenging is all about carefully, discreetly, and safely searching for abandoned supplies that you can use to your own benefit. There's a lot of stigma attached to scavenging in an SHTF scenario, but the reality is that it's something that we could all find ourselves doing when the grid goes down and we run out of something critical. This guide is going to explain how you can scavenge in an SHTF scenario, from a mindset of being as safe and strategic as possible. The three primary subjects that this book will cover are: -How to Prepare For and Plan Out Your Scavenging Mission -The Best and Most Overlooked Places to Scavenge and Why -The Specific Items You Will Need to Scavenge and Why By the end of this book, you will know how to find what you need in a disaster scenario without resorting to smashing windows or breaking down doors. You may have envisioned yourself outlasting the disaster with your family in your secure underground bunker, believing you would never have to step outside until after the danger has passed. But the reality is that the smart prepper is someone who is prepared for all situations, and that includes being prepared to venture outside of your home to go scavenge for items you need in a dangerous zone. That's where this book will come in handy.
