Learn Basic Mechanics + Repairs For Appliances + Vehicles

What if you are in a terrible situation and you need to get away, but your vehicle won't start? What if there are no mechanics, no handymen and no stores nearby? What are you going to do? 

Your survival depends on your ability to fix your car, yourself. 

Every prepper and every person should have at least a basic knowledge of;

  • vehicle mechanical systems
  • how to repair a generator
  • how to fix a leaky pipe
  • how to patch a tire
  • how to clean a spark plug. 

Learn to troubleshoot small engines, learn how to change oil, tighten belts and unclog fuel lines. You can practice on old lawnmowers, bikes and other small powered appliances. 

Study and read about your own vehicle and get a clear understanding of the mechanics. Learn;

  • what the battery does
  • how to install the brakes
  • how to change the air filter
  • how to use a tire jack
  • the fluid systems
  • how to sharpen blades
  • replace fuses
  • repair leaky seals 
Know which tools you need for different fixes. A great idea is to know how to prepare a temporary fix using tape, hose clamps, reliable glue. This can keep your vehicle and appliance running for a while longer. 

when you are dealing with  an ongoing emergency, necessary items that are broken, or won't start, means lost time, energy, and it could put you or keep you in danger. 

If you can fix the problem, you can quickly regain control and keep going.
