I would also suggest that people learn what they can about medicinal use of herbs and other plants.
The majority of planning for SHTF scenarios seems to be for food and arms/ammo. Which isn't a bad thing. But much of the population is on medication that won't be available (or will be limited and insanely expensive) in SHTF scenarios. Insulin and high blood pressure or other heart meds are things almost half of the adult population depend on, daily.
Ironically, increasing activity and moving to a mainly plant based diet (as would happen with people getting the majority of their food source from their own gardens) are things we can all do to lessen the need for many prescription medications like insulin and high blood pressure meds.
