21 Life Hacks To Help You Breeze Through the Apocalypse (or at Least the Next Power Outage)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Life hacks are all over the place at the minute (seriously,\u00a0they\u2019re everywhere<\/a>) and some are really good \u2013 but often they\u2019re more Martha Stewart than Grizzly Adams.<\/p>\n

Here are a few life hacks that are applicable not only to regular everyday lifestyles\u00a0but to\u00a0those crazy preppers<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 ahem \u2013 people who are of a preparedness mindset as well. While all of these aren\u2019t necessarily life-saving, they all have the potential to save you money and effort in a survival situation.<\/p>\n

  1. This sounds like more of a beauty tip than a prepper tip, but don\u2019t forget to moisturize! Your skin is a barrier that prevents infection. Keep it supple to prevent cracking which provides a route for infection to get into your body. This is an important\u00a0infection prevention method if \u00a0antibiotics\u00a0are either unavailable or no longer work<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Carry plain, refined\u00a0sugar\u00a0with you at all times. Those little sachets from fast food restaurants are ideal.\u00a0Plain sugar poured into a wound keeps it clean and aids healing<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. In the midst of a winter power outage, if you\u2019re burning fossil fuels to keep warm, make sure you have adequate ventilation to avoid\u00a0carbon monoxide poisoning<\/a>. You can also get an\u00a0inexpensive battery operated CO detector.<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. A slice from the inner tube of a bicycle tire makes an excellent tourniquet. Bonus: It burns even when wet, so it\u2019s also a great fire starter.<\/li>\n
  5. Never use a \u2018space\u2019 blanket on someone who is cold. The silver surface prevents heat from getting to them. Cuddle up and wrap the foil around both of you to retain body heat. (Here are more ways to use one of those blankets for survival<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
