What is most likely to threaten your life?
When major catastrophes strike, like some of the recent earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc., the mass deaths can lead one to think that natural disasters are the most likely way people can die.
Not by a long shot. So I want to talk about life vs. death scenarios. In other words, what’s most likely to kill you? I’m not going to focus on food shortages, financial collapses and government take over’s in this episode. Rather…I’m gonna talk about what’s most likely to kill you!
So…I start with a question? Why are so many survivalists spending so much time preparing for disasters that don’t pose as much of a risk as other disasters?
Highlights:
- Statistics on the likely causes of death.
- What do you spend most of your time preparing for?
- How likely are the events you prepare for in comparison to the time you spend preparing for them?
- The 5 most common causes of injury and death.
- Violence against women and how to prevent it.
- Odds of an event causing injury or death?

Thanks for listening Lonnie. Health is way too often overlooked and if survival is about staying alive then it should be near the top of everyone’s list. Thanks for the comment.
New listener here, just saw your link over at American Preppers. Really enjoyed this show, and your right not many talk about our health as a priority in survival. Which reminds me, my chorlesterol numbers are way too high and I need to do something about it. My garden, food storage, and my preps won’t be of much use if a heart attack does me in!
