5 Reasons Why Being a Lone Wolf is a Horrible Survival Plan

It seems like every day I see a post somewhere discussing “lone wolf” survival plans. If you’re unaware of this term it simply means that you’re planning ride out a disaster scenario completely alone, without any sort of support or community to help you. Many proponents of this plan seem to think that their “survival skills” (typically comprised mainly of primitive or bushcrafting skills) will be more than sufficient to effect survival not only in a short term disaster, but for extended or long-term disaster scenarios as well.

Being a lone wolf in a disaster is a horrible idea for many reasons. Today we’re going to discuss 5 key points for why this plan makes disaster survival much more difficult and why in some scenarios it can even get you killed.

You only have 2 hands and 2 eyes

A lot of lone wolf survivalists seem to forget that modern conveniences have taken a lot of the work out of day to day life. If we ever find ourselves in a true SHTF, long-term grid down scenario, day to day living is going to require a lot more work. Think about the last time you went camping without electricity. Even cooking a meal takes quite a bit of effort and work. Maintaining a fire, procuring food (if you’re not eating out of your preps) preparing that food, getting water to use in cooking and drinking, cleaning up…all that just to get a bite to eat for breakfast. Yes you can do these things by yourself, but how much time out of the day is it really going to take?

From a security standpoint being a lone wolf also makes no sense. You have to sleep sometime. If we’re in a true, long-term post disaster scenario, security is going to be a huge concern. I would much rather be taking security shifts with at least 1 or 2 other people to not only make sure I get some sleep, but that someone is watching my back while I do.
