Die dänischen Behörden empfehlen allen Dänen, 3 Tage selbstfreundlich zu sein. 62% der Dänen haben diesen Rat nicht befolgt (siehe https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/en-enkelt-pjece-er-ikke-nok-flertallet-afanskerne-har-stadig-ikke-preppet). Viele Menschen haben 3 Tage lang genug Essen und Wasser, und die Leute könnten zögern zu sagen, dass sie dem Rat folgen, wenn sie kein FM -Radio, Erste -Hilfe -Kit, Bargeld ausgestopft haben, usw. haben usw.
Aber immer noch.
Finnland wird regelmäßig auch in dänischen Medien erwähnt. Die Bürger werden gebeten, sich auf eine Woche usw. vorzubereiten, und ich bin neugierig, ob Sie Rat für US-Dänen haben? Was würden Sie zu den 62%sagen?
Danke!
Most Danes don’t prep. Any advice from you bunch of well-prepared Finns?

The Finnish way of prepping: have a beer stash hidden in your mökki. And a fishing rod.
I’d say most Finns don’t prep either.
I think we have the same instructions, have water and food for 72 hours, battery operated radio, cash etc. Here’s a finnish website about the 72 hour preparation: [https://72tuntia.fi/](https://72tuntia.fi/)
Haven’t prepared for crap when it comes to dry foods or fresh water somehow contained other than what I get from the tap. I don’t have the money for it. I have a bunch of pain medication including Tramadol and nerve pain pills though which I could use to barter I guess. Pharmaceutics abound in my apartment.
Don’t own an FM radio, don’t have a First-aid kit, and having a stash of cash? I’m lucky to have some money in the bank in between paying rent and paying for my pharmacy purchases and food. Currently 3€ in the account and it’s only mid-month. Danish media might either be cherrypicking or just talking out of turn.
Edit: All the pharmaceuticals are prescribed by doctors or psychiatrists, neurological pain patient here etc. Sorry for being poor I guess.
I’m not prepared for 3 hours, let alone for 3 days. I’m sure we have some survivalists here and there but we’re just as used to nice life and spreading our hands and falling backwards and expecting the government to catch us if things go wrong as the danes, so I think it’s just the journalists trying to make finns sound like some mythical race of creatures.
I have a big jug of spring water plus containers that I can fill in case of an expected emergency situation, some canned food and other shelf-stable food, extra pet food, and a first aid kit. I don’t have a camping stove or fuel for it like they recommend, so I guess we’ll be eating cold canned goods and chocolate. I keep a little emergency cash, but certainly not enough for a prolonged outage of payment systems. Other than in the car, I don’t have a radio.
Edit: Speaking of the car, we now have a large emergency power supply in the form of our electric car battery, as long as we keep it charged up.
I try to keep a week’s worth of food and water stashed at all times (basically just some dry food plus one of those 10l plastic water containers), but I have none of the fancy stuff. No battery-powered radio, no way to make fire, etc.
I think everyone should at least try to have a week’s worth of water stored, since it only costs you a few euros and a minimal amount of storage space. All the other stuff is nice, but you’ll run out of water real fast if something happens. And that something can be construction workers accidentally damaging a pipe, which happened to me a few years ago. No running water for 10 days sucked hard.
I’d say I’m prepared since I’m a lazy shopper and with a small income.
I got batteries, flashlights, battery-operated radio, and some backup power banks for electronics. I also keep my prescription up to date and get my meds as large quantity as I can to avoid extra-trips to the pharmacy. The same goes with food and other necessities. I buy larger quantities when something’s on sale, be it stuff to the freezer or to the pantry. I simply hate going out shopping and as a result I can usually live off of what I have about 6-12 months.
I also have a modest garden with some fruit trees and berry bushes, and I forage mushrooms. Most of those, berries, fruits and mushrooms I usually dehydrate. Easier to use in cooking that way.
From what I’ve seen, it’s basically the same with most of my neighbours and family. Just normal living. Some of us hunt and fish to stock up the freezer, some get their steaks from markets. But that’s just normal life, not prepping.
Prepped somehow-ish per instructions. Storm can knock out grid or water supply fails, so critical resources checked:
– 100L of water under sauna benches (best use of space)
– 1KWh battery and phev car
– camping stove, gas, sleeping bags
– battery radio and cable internet
– emergency kits and basic medicine
– week of food (cans, pasta, jams etc)
– cash
Would still need wet wipes, one time use gloves, n99 masks to reach basic level preparedness against local plant chemical leak and water shutdown.
I don’t have any tips as I haven’t really prepared. I bought some water bottles once, but they’ve gone out of date so it’s kind of useless. I guess I can still use it if the toilet doesn’t work, but I won’t have anything to drink.
