Why Defiel began
Accurate information. Easier to use.
Hello, welcome to Defiel. I am Joel Lim, and I am the proud founder of Defiel.
I started this website after searching online and struggling to find fast, accurate reads about survival and security. Defiel became a place where researched information could be compiled into clear, useful guides.
“My goal is to give men, women, and even children credible preparedness information.”
I want the information here to inform—not simply to sell. When a subject goes beyond my own experience, I consult other sources and spend days researching so the result can become a focused read for you.
A practical approach
Learn it, test it, explain it clearly
Preparedness became an interest at a young age. Over time, reading, testing products, trying recipes, and practising useful skills built a broad network of knowledge to share.
I do not claim to know every aspect of survival. The work is to keep learning, verify what matters, and make the results easier for other people to apply.
Areas of focus
A growing body of preparedness knowledge
Joel reads widely, learns from friends around the world, and continues growing Defiel alongside its readers.
Preparedness is a journey worth sharing.
