๐ฑ Welcome to "Back to Basics, Preparing for the Future" Blog
Hello everyone!
Have you ever wondered: "If all modern systems stopped working tomorrow, would I be able to survive?"
With natural disasters occurring around the world, the persistent threat of war, and an unpredictable future, we often feel anxious. But instead of just worrying, how about preparing together?
This blog is a space where we reinterpret and share the survival knowledge our ancestors utilized for thousands of years, preparing for 'just in case' scenarios. We're learning and researching self-sufficient living skills in harmony with nature, moving away from our dependence on advanced technology.
What We Share Together
๐ Food Self-Sufficiency
- Efficient crop cultivation methods possible in small spaces
- Seasonal crop management and seed preservation techniques
- Tips for raising small livestock for protein
- Growing fish and plants simultaneously through aquaponics
๐ Sustainable Housing
- Creating safe shelters with minimal tools
- Building living environments using natural materials
- Utilizing renewable energy sources
- Seasonal housing management methods
๐ Clothing and Daily Necessities
- Creating and maintaining clothing from natural materials
- DIY methods for essential daily items
- Traditional natural dyeing and processing techniques
- Making limited resources last longer
๐ง Survival Tools and Skills

- Identifying and using wild edible plants
- Water procurement and purification methods
- Navigation and movement skills in natural environments
Why Do We Need These Preparations?
Friends, we don't learn these skills simply out of apocalyptic fear. When we realize how fragile the systems supporting our abundant lives are, we naturally begin to consider more sustainable ways of living.
Extreme climate changes due to global warming, resource depletion, and ecosystem destruction are already affecting our daily lives. Learning to respect and preserve nature is both our small effort and duty for the future.
And what about the wars still happening around the world? Despite human advancement, we still haven't put down our weapons against each other. War can destroy decades of civilization in a single day and take countless lives. Learning survival skills is also a small practice that raises awareness about these tragic situations.
A Space to Learn and Share Together
This blog isn't a place to promote fear or talk only about a pessimistic future. Rather, it's a space to share confidence and wisdom to manage our lives in any situation.
We invite you to join our journey of preparing for a better future by combining the wisdom of our ancestors who lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years with modern knowledge.
If you have questions or want to share your own survival tips, please communicate through comments or messages anytime. We are stronger together!

Return to an Agrarian Society
1. Overview
Starting with the concept of a Bug-out Bag, this guide explains methods of self-sufficiency in survival situations. It highlights the necessity of transitioning to an agrarian society in emergencies and presents survival strategies.
2. Essential Elements for Survival
2.1 Securing Food Supply
- An adult requires 3,300 kcal per day, with the minimum survival intake being 1,500–1,600 kcal.
- Crop Cultivation: Focus on grains and tubers (e.g., potatoes, sweet potatoes).
- Consider growing time and yield when planning food production.
- Generally, 5 pyeong (about 16.5m²) can produce enough food for one person.
- Farming cycles and seasonal crop selection are crucial.
- Proper storage and preservation methods are necessary for long-term food security.
2.2 Protein Supply
- Daily protein requirement: 80–150g per adult.
- Combination of animal and plant-based proteins is recommended.
- Raising small livestock such as chickens and rabbits is ideal (space-efficient, high reproduction rates).
- Feed supply and disease management are essential for livestock sustainability.
- Legumes, such as beans, are excellent plant-based protein sources.
2.3 Aquaponics
- A system combining fish farming (aquaculture) and hydroponic plant cultivation.
- Reduces water consumption by 50% compared to traditional farming.
- A sustainable method for food production.
- Fish waste provides nutrients for plants, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
- Selecting suitable fish species, such as yellow perch, is important for system efficiency.
2.4 Shelter and Energy
- Housing should prioritize safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
- Utilizing alternative energy sources for self-sufficiency.
- Maintaining basic living infrastructure in off-grid conditions.
2.5 Hunting and Survival Tools
- 2.5.1 Weapon Crafting
- Basic weapon-making techniques.
- Introduction to self-made firearms (e.g., zip guns).
- Crafting and using hunting tools efficiently.
- 2.5.2 Hunting Techniques
- Various hunting methods and tools (traps, snares, pitfall traps).
- Techniques for small game hunting.
- Hunting strategies tailored to different animals.
- 2.5.3 Survival Skills
- How to respond to emergency situations.
- Basic survival principles.
- Utilizing natural resources for survival.
- 2.6 Edible Plants and Alternative Food Sources
- Identifying wild edible plants.
- Alternative food resources for survival.
- Recipes for emergency foods such as bark bread.
- 2.7 Forming a Survival Community
- The importance of community building for survival.
- Strategies for role distribution and cooperation.
3. Additional Considerations for Survival
- Medical Care: Stockpiling essential medications and learning natural remedies.
- Hygiene: Maintaining cleanliness and preventing disease.
- Tools & Equipment: Essential survival tools and their maintenance.
- Education & Culture: Passing down knowledge and maintaining community culture.
- Safety: Strategies for defense and handling potential threats.
- Water & Purification: Securing clean drinking water.
This blog will serve as a comprehensive guide to self-sufficiency and survival in the face of emergencies, providing practical strategies for adapting to an agrarian society. Stay tuned for detailed insights into each topic!
