Survival in the Netherlands

Swim Peter, swim!

depends on what shtf situation arises i suppose

Think about:
1. Economic collapse
2. Tsunami with massive damage

tsunami, we are fucked,at least i am since we are below sea level,

economic collapse, also fucked becouse i live in the city and dont have access to guns,while other people will have,but however never giving up hope and just learning the trade of urban survival i think


there really is no where to bug-out to in the netherlands imho,so thats off the table

kan voor mij niet snel genoeg gaan

Yes, i think that's the main problem.

Do you think the government will help people with food etc?

Be sure to ask Olaf who posts here. He can always be counted on for good advice.

if you are the last pope, sorry Netherlands will sink like Titatinc.

Just have plenty of booze in da house.

i suppose they will try,we export alot of food to other countries,so i think we will have enough to feed ourselves...if you can afford it...or wait in a really long line with 100's of people...

i dont know what will happen to be honest

pot, wooden shoes and cheese.

move to ireland - plenty of hills here.

I don't live there, but I would encourage you both to prepare by storing food, but more importantly by learning life skills in growing food, harvesting and storing it, hunting, fishing, and trapping it. Learning about first aid and locating ten good all around medical herbs from your area will really help. Much of what I've written here is applicable for any country, especially Europe since many of the same herbs were transplanted to the USA.

Most people are thinking short term. I believe that everyone should be learning the old tribal skills and that's how we can cope with major life changing events. That's truly the only way to survive and thrive.

Good luck to you. Finding a permaculture community in your area may be the fastest way to learn those skills.

Maybe this would be a resource for you:

I'm bugging out to the Biesbosch

Grab all the weed, cheese and tulips you can handle, run to your mobile home and drive south to the alps. This is only semi-serious, forget the first part, but the Alps ar a good option.

make sure you have life jackets in your closet.... (yeah you may laugh... but I don't..)

Invade Vlaanderen and make them your slaves.

survival is for the weak of mind living in constant fear for the end of the world.
Pathetic.

Stick a finger in it.

this is glp,make of it what you wish :>

I think the whole of europe left of the alps will be running that way

Lots of Bed & Breakfast hotels throughout the UK.
I'd choose somewhere in the Pennines.

jep im from holland.

been a prepper for about 10 months now

i prep for:
-jobloss
-economic collapse
-euro collapse(with bankrun and all that stuff)
-riots and strikes
-some natural disasters(flood,heavy snow,etc)
-some warscenario,s in other country,s that result in shortages.

i have already 1,5 years of food stored.
got all the neccessary tools and trades to make it more comfortable if shtf.
i keep buying food,water,vitamins,painkillers,bandages etc.

bought some waterfilters and tablets to clean water
(we all know there is enough water around us and rain here)
so far capable for 12000 liters.
i stored about 100 liters bottled water in the house just in case.

bought multiple stoves(alcohol,gas and organic)

bought a kerosine heater, to heat my house if the centralheating fails.

there are other possibilities than firearms alone.
if they come in your house sticks and stones can really break bones.
im sure you can think of something else to keep them off off you. think native, think some ball and puck sports, think practical, think medieval.
well you figure it out.

bought a fire extingisher and plan to buy some more(ive seen the london riots)its better to have some than have none
also wanna buy some airmasks for that type of scenario

my plan is to bug in, i live 12 metres of the ground in an appartment building that was build when constructors knew how to make strong concrete and let it take the time to harden well instead of more hardeners and other chemicals.
no prefab walls i can tell you that.

im planning to make some preparations to harden some weaker area,s like doors and windows.
extra deadbolts, steelstrips to harden the doorframes, burglary proof windowfilm and lexan sheets for some windows and boarding for the others, maybe some security bars and such.
this will mostly be fitted when shtf of course but its better that you have it planned ahead already.
keeping them out is better than having to defend yourself.

and if i don,t need all the stuff?? well people don,t really need an expensive phone or computer either i have a simple phone and a simple computer, and i can keep all my savings in the bank, but we all know that there,s gonna be a bankrun and the euro is gonna be useless sooner or later.
so what would i do then when all my money is useless?
the preps i made are somewhat of and insurance for bad times.

better have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Survival in the Netherlands is going to be difficult. No hills to run for, a lot of the country below sea-level, no wilderness to hide in..

Well, Germany is not far away and has mountains and lots of forests where no one ever comes and even has mountains. Only issue is there are Germans living in Germany ;)

Bratwurst here I come!

easy: BOBB
BUG OUT BY BOAT!!!

buy a boat.
its not that they are so expensive.
and you can fit a ton of stuff in there

if you wanna bug out in or from the netherlands??
go inland or try to get to some of the wadden islands
maybe the ones more to germany? or if you dare set course to the scandinavians or more south to search for more
sun.:-)

traffic jams are hell here(as you know) imagine in an shtf.
youll get kicked of your bicycle.

no i stick to the bug out by boat or nothing.
if there is still time and money i will buy one.

its not ideal, but hee its shtf is it ideal to sleep in the bieschbosch?? or the ardennes?

better to sleep on a boat where the only ones that can touch you, you can hear them a mile away.

you are a quality prepper :D

Near the coast on the ground floor. 2 cats to drag up the road to my mates house on 4th floor all in vain because it'll take about 1 minute for the wave reach us..

yeah eh buy 2 cans of soup everyday and eat one.
