In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, it is extremely difficult for solo survivors to construct a shelter, requiring extreme care and unremitting effort. Here are six tips that may help you:
- Prioritize safety and choose a location that is cautious: Avoid urban ruins and conspicuous landmarks, and choose locations that are highly concealed, easy to defend, and close to water sources and few available resources. People living alone in particular need to avoid conflict, and safety should be a primary consideration.
- Build what you can and build gradually: Don't be too ambitious, start with a small, sturdy, and easy-to-hide core shelter. Reinforcement with ruin materials, basic defenses and escape routes.
- Early warning of traps and prevention of problems: Since it is difficult for people living alone to be vigilant at all times, simple alarm devices can be set up using sound, light, etc., and traps can be placed around the shelter to warn of potential dangers in advance.
- Self-sufficiency, reserves are king: food, water and basic survival supplies are essential. Create a long-term plan by carving out small plots of land for planting, harvesting rainwater, and storing as much food and fuel as possible.
- Keep in touch and communicate cautiously: Don't be completely isolated, try to fix improvised communication equipment, contact the outside world cautiously, gather information, assess risks, and seek opportunities for cooperation if necessary.
- Tenacious Will, Keep Learning: Stay positive and learn new survival skills, such as first aid, hunting, and plant identification, in order to survive in the harsh wasteland environment.
Remember, surviving alone in the last days is harder and requires greater caution, self-reliance, and tenacity. I hope you can find your own safety in the wasteland!
