SHTF

“SHTF” is a commonly used acronym that stands for “shit hits the fan.” It refers to a hypothetical scenario where there is a major disruption to the systems that support our daily lives, such as a natural disaster, an economic collapse, or a societal breakdown. In an SHTF situation, people may be forced to rely on their own skills and resources to survive. Preppers and survivalists often prepare for such scenarios by stockpiling food, water, and supplies, and developing skills like hunting, gardening, and self-defense. While SHTF scenarios are rare, the idea serves as a reminder to always be prepared for unexpected emergencies.
