Australians love outdoor sports, everyone knows this, but I don't know when it started, Australians love one more thing:
Wilderness Seeking!
And it's not an ordinary wilderness survival, but a doomsday survival training combined with material reserves.
Doomsday survival is definitely not an unfamiliar word in today's society, and it is clear that more and more Australians are worried that the end is coming...
Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, at least Australians have begun to prepare in advance.
Survival training is all the rage
Everyone is preparing for the end times
In Australia now, the term Prepper is very popular, and the word is better than Doom Watchers, a group of people who specialize in hoarding supplies and conducting crazy field training.
There are also wilderness survival experts who specially run courses, and the market demand is amazing.
The Australian media even wrote a feature article on this matter:
Doom Watcher goes mainstream!
There were countless people who sneered at them before, thinking that they were just a bunch of grandstanding clowns, but now, this kind of complaining is becoming less and less.
Jake Cassar, 48, is a wilderness survival guru and a professional instructor of wilderness survival courses.
He has the most intuitive feeling for the change of people's concepts and the changes in the industry. Previously, perhaps only a handful of enthusiasts sought his training, but now, to attend his classes, you need to book well in advance.
He will take the trainees to Mangrove Mountain on the central coast of NSW for unified training to teach them how to better survive in the wild.
From how to work with hunting to identifying poisonous plants, Jake Cassar's lessons cover a number of areas, but they all revolve around one point:
How to survive in the wild!
Jake Cassar also has his own opinion on the apocalypse, which is now more and more feared, and he has his own contingency plan, storing a large amount of food in his private shelter, which can meet the consumption of at least 10 people for more than two months.
The reason why more and more people now believe that the end will come may have something to do with the previous news, the founder of Facebook, Zuckerberg, who bought a large area of land on an island to build a doomsday shelter.
The cost of building the shelter was a staggering $270 million!
Hall spent $2 million to buy an abandoned nuclear missile-launching underground base in the central United States, and spent another $140 million to transform it into a shelter with 14 floors of underground space.
And PayPal founder Peter Thiel digging bomb shelters in New Zealand's South Island...
The actions of these tycoons all seem to illustrate concerns about the future, with the top rich being sourced much earlier than the average person.
Therefore, it is not surprising that so many people will begin to pay attention to apocalyptic survival.
Epidemics, earthquakes, floods, wars
Australia is humanity's last refuge
In addition to the actions of the rich, the news about the world in recent years has also made everyone more anxious.
Tracing the natural and man-made disasters around the world, the first is the century wildfire in Australia from the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020.
At the same time, there was also the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, which has ravaged the world for many years and has not completely subsided until now.
The pandemic has increased the sense of insecurity for more people. During the lockdown period, the world seemed to be relatively calm, and everyone paid attention to the news related to the new crown every day, but after the global lockdown was lifted, insecurity came again!
The Russian-Ukrainian war broke out, Israel and Palestine, Israel and Hamas organizations, and now Israel and Iran...
The international situation continues to be turbulent, local conflicts continue to intensify, and many people are even worried about whether it will trigger a third world war...
Natural disasters have also continued to appear, such as the major earthquake in Taiwan before, the once-in-a-century flood in Guangdong, and the continuous high temperature around the world before.
future
Inclement weather may become mainstream!
The question is, why are Australians now so keen on wilderness survival training? The reason is simple, if there are really natural and man-made disasters,
Australia will be the last of humanity
Safe shelter.
Whether it's a nuclear war, a supervolcano eruption, an asteroid hitting the Earth or other sudden catastrophes, Australia's advantage will continue to be magnified.
The unique geographical advantages and sparsely populated characteristics of Australia make Australia's safety and carrying capacity greatly guaranteed.
Secondly, Australia has abundant natural resources, which can fully meet the survival needs of many people.
It seems that Australia has the characteristics of being afraid of alien species, but it also proves that Australia's natural ecology is thriving, and any creature can flourish here.
This also satisfies people's basic needs. It can also achieve the balance of the biological chain.
Finally, most of Australia's settlements are seaside, which makes it more resilient to sudden temperature changes than other places.
Under all these advantages, once a sudden disaster occurs, Australia's security will be infinitely magnified, which is why everyone believes that Australia will become the last refuge of mankind.
With such congenital conditions, as long as Australians learn survival skills in the wild, if the end comes, Australians can survive better!
