Survival in a situation of civil breakdown is dependent upon knowledge. So absorb the knowledge in this guide BEFORE you need it…

This guide was prepared by the good people at Survival Frog

1 – Blend In At All Costs

I understand that you have beliefs and morals and probably won’t be happy about the civil unrest you’ll be facing once SHTF. Believe me, I get that.

But in order to protect yourself and  the ones you love most, you’re absolutely going to have to blend in with the protesters and rioters around you.

This might mean chanting, raising your fists in the air, and/or holding a sign (even if what the sign says is against your beliefs).

I’m not asking you to believe in what you’re saying/doing, but I am asking you to go undercover and blend in with those around you so that you can escape as soon as possible.

Because believe me, the last thing you want/need is hundreds of protesters coming after you for trying to give them a lesson on morals.

2 – Follow The Current

If everyone is headed in the same direction, it’s best to follow the crowd as long as you have to until you can escape.

Now, in theory, a crowd like this might seem easy to get away from…but I fervently disagree.

In a riot there is pushing, shoving, and absolute civil unrest. People also tend to go a bit crazy, lighting torches and setting things on fire, and tipping over cars.

Angry protests and riots are not typically something you can just walk away from whenever you feel like it.

However, by following the current, you’ll avoid drawing attention to yourself, and you’ll also be a lot less likely to become crushed by hundreds of people.

Try to move toward the edge of the mass of people and escape down an alley or side-street as quickly as possible.

3 – Keep Calm

Despite what you’re feeling in the moment, it is absolutely imperative that you keep your cool and don’t lose your head in the middle of a mob. This is also true if you witness looting happen on your own street or in your own neighborhood.

If you see injustice happening, it’s best to keep moving and avoid eye contact.

Now this may feel against your morals and belief system, but I assure you that if you see looters carrying television sets out of the local Target, and you stop to give them a lecture on theft, you’re sure to get attacked and will most likely get a bullet in your brain.

4 – Stay Home At Night

You know that saying, “Nothing good ever happens after midnight?” Well, it’ll never been more true than once looters, rioters and protesters are flooding through the streets and marching outside your front door.

Not only do people go crazy during these situations, but they also tend to think that they can get away with a lot more wrongdoings once the sun goes down.

And with the combination of law enforcement and angry crowds, you’ll find that outside is the last place you want to be if you want to survive and keep out of trouble.

Lock your doors, keep firearms and other weapons within reach, and wait it out.

5 – Avoid The Head Honcho

When it comes to small gangs, large mobs, or anything in between, one fact generally stays the same: there is a leader – or leaders – influencing the rest.

Whether you’re dealing with a small group of looters or a mob of hundreds of angry protesters, the rule of survival is the same: avoid their leader(s).

Not only will avoiding the leader help you keep a low profile and stay out of trouble, but it’s also likely that, if you do get into trouble with one of the group, your fate will not be nearly as bad as it may have been with the head of the pack.

After all, it’s easier to take on one or two individuals than it will be to take on an entire group, especially when they’re acting upon the orders of their leader.

Now you’ve got all you need to know about handling a riot or protest, and couple that with some well-placed self defense knowledge and survival skills, and you’ll be A-OK.
