"Based on the depth of collapse that I believe is coming especially to American cities, I don't think that apartments are going to be a very high survival type of situation," Adams said during a recent episode of "Prep with Mike."

"The truth is if you are living in an apartment your survival odds go way down just from the fact that you are in a high-density building. And you probably don't have good access to surface water when the water system goes down. It is crucial to have a bugout location."

He noted that other people living in the same apartment building may not be prepared and will look for ways to survive. Chances are high that these people will raid your apartment the moment they find out that you are better prepared than them to survive a collapse.

The Natural News founder added that people can't stockpile enough necessities like food and water in an apartment because of limited space. (Related: Emergency essentials for apartment preppers: 10 items for your bugout bag.)
