Dinosaurs once ruled the Earth, but have you considered the possibility of them coming back to reign once more? The likelihood of such an event is extremely low, but it shouldn’t hurt to prepare for the unexpected.
This guide will give you a comprehensive approach to facing the challenges of a dinosaur apocalypse.
Stealth is Key
Move quietly. Start training yourself to move without making a single sound especially when you’re in an unfamiliar place. Look around and make sure the next step you take isn’t on a stick (or a random whoopie cushion). Always remember that the slightest sound can trigger a predator’s ears.
Blend into your surroundings! Don’t wear any bright or eye-catching clothing. You’re not just hiding from dinosaurs; you’re also hiding from people who could potentially harm you
Build a Fortress
Select the perfect location. A place near water and natural barriers like hills or cliffs is recommended. Being close to water lessens the chances of getting lost or getting into danger. Having natural barriers will make break-ins less likely and you wouldn’t need to fortify those areas as much.
Fortify your Base
Strengthen your defenses. Build walls beside the natural barriers using sturdy materials like stone and wood.Connect With Like-Minded Individuals
Form alliances with people. This will naturally make survival easier because you’ll be sharing the labor with other people. Consider this awesome group to make it easier to find allies.
Find Supplies
Look around the area for supplies. It’s ideal to map of the area to see what you’ve explored and slowly go farther out.
Manage Your Resources
Make sure to use the supplies properly. If you have fruits and vegetables, it may be ideal to get their seeds and plant them. Check which items have other uses such as aloe vera, it may be more useful as a healing salve rather than food.
Learn to Preserve Resources
Store and conserve water properly. You’ll never know when you’ll need emergency water. There could be a medical emergency or perhaps there’s a dino behind the walls and you’ll need to wait it out until it leaves.
Cure your meat. Meat can last a long time as long as it’s preserved properly. Protein is an important part of every diet so it’s better to preserve it and eat it gradually than to consume it all in one go.
Maintain a Healthy Body
Take care of yourself. Don’t overstrain your body but remember to get your daily workout. You’ll never know when you’ll need to have a fit body to run away from a quick dinosaur.
Keep Yourself Sane
Stay positive. It may not always be possible to have a positive mindset but it would be better for yourself and everyone around you if you do so since positivity can be contagious.
Talk to each other. Humans are social beings. Keep each other sane by discussing problems and possibly finding solutions for them.
Be Ready to Move at Any Time
Always be prepared to go. You’ll never know if and when you’ll need to abandon your base in case it gets overrun. Arrange a backup base where you can take shelter in case that does happen.
Prepare Backup Plans
Even when you think that everything is perfect, it’s better to have a fallback.
Craft Weapons
Arm yourself with the right tools for the job. You can create makeshift spears to melee dinos. You can also make bows and arrows to attack them at a safe distance.
Study the Enemy
Learn the different types of dinosaurs. Studying the dinosaurs will help you figure out their weaknesses and how to deal with them. There’s also a possibility that some of them are actually nice and tameable!
Tame Dinosaurs
If dogs used to be wolves, then dinosaurs can definitely be your pet too! Observe the dinosaurs around your area and select the one that seems the most docile. You can feed it or try to cater to its needs. It may feel as if you’re someone they can depend on and they’ll in turn lend you their strength.
Learn Basic Skills from Each Other
People are experts in their own unique fields. If you have a doctor in your group, you can ask him to teach everyone first aid so that they can use that skill in times of emergencies.
