FIRE/HEAT

One can get it through:

- Friction (examples: fire strikers, stick and hole, cotton with wood cole,  )

- Compression (examples: fire piston, forged iron)

- Concentrating/focusing of sunlight in one  point (examples: using lenses, mirrors, polished spoons, transparent plastic bags filled with clear water and shaped into lens form)

- Chemical reactions (examples: potassium permanganate and glycerine, mineral oils on rigs through polymerization and many others which produce enough heat to start a fire

Some reactions expand explosively, stay ready and protected.

WATER

Water is as important as the air (we all know, right? 45-75 percent of our body is water) Mostly people already know where to get water from and how to treat it. I will add few methods here which might be  less known. From the air (basically producing/collecting water vapor) - Air is almost always carrying water vapor. To collect it one would need a surface which is cooler as the surrounding air, to condense the water. In some cases fine meshes (or any other cold material/powder with a big surface) which can catch the water droplets from the saturated air (keep in mind that this water would also contain most of the dust and chemicals from that air too..) One could create water vapor from the salt water - through evaporation or to get the salts out and apply reverse-osmosis. Water could be extracted from the ground - mostly on the lower end of the hills and mountains (either collecting directly or through evaporation) Some layers of the earth are not letting the water through a...

AIR

Air sounds simple but it isn't really. To find good air today is a sort of a problem Rules are simple: stay away from industrial or dusty areas and keep the air humidity around you between 50% and 60% Air temperature in the area should drop down below 0 degrees C at least once a year. Keep plastics and foams out and away of your house (softmakers (plasticizers) in plastics and other chemicals are pure poison) ! Ventilate your house/shelter fully at least once a day Wet-clean your house at least once a week Apply mechanical filtering through tissue or ceramics where possible to keep micro-particle quantities, suspended in the air, down. With the above rules folowed, you should have an acceptable air quality in the house.  Some dust pre-filters are strongly suggested if   proximity to big cities or other dusty areas, like deserts or construction sites, is unavoidable. Below there are some simple and self-explaining steps to how to do an improvised face mask (dust-ma...

HOME

Keep it as such, for yourself and your close ones. Only bring people, who you know very well for years, to your home, who you trust, who never left you down and who were there for you even when the situation was bad for everyone. In short only let very good friends access your home. Find other places outside to meet all the rest of people you might meet in your life. Home is your life, ideally you have 3 places where you feel safe and well, where you feel home. Those places shall be located in  -proximity to water -high grounds -good, rich earth (i.e. forests or other areas rich in life) Ideally you manage to rotate your base between those 3 places through a year. the 4th ,and the most solid, home is inside you, protect it well, you need to be able to feel well inside yourself and need to be able to create a home base on your own, without help, no matter where life might bring you to.
