First, let me state up front that I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. So please vet and check on your own. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations.
Second, the hour is late and I fear bad times are imminent, but even a month of food, water, etc., puts you well ahead of most of the sheeple.
Third, two things will be critical for having the best chance of making it through:
- The proper mentality: first and foremost in survival is having a flexible mentality and cultivating the ability to adapt.
- Having a meatspace network of people that are likeminded: start cultivating your community ties and building alliances with neighbors (note: don’t babble about the Jab or globalists or depopulation, or start pointing political fingers when doing this)… and remember, the first rule of PREP CLUB is that there is no prep club.

An anecdote from a friend, my wording.
A friend of mine related how several people at work are now making discrete inquiries to them about the possibility of a food shortage, power shortage, etc. Yes, it’s late, but at least they’re awakening to the coming crunch. OTOH, this means that there will be increasing demand on a strained supply system as more and more people realize that it’s coming, coming soon, and they’re woefully unprepared.

Understand that short of years of preparation and untold wealth, you cannot possibly be fully prepared for everything. But even some preparations, ideally at least 90 days of food, water / water purification, etc., puts you head and shoulders in front of the vast majority of the sheeple who will be in jaw-gaping astonishment when the SHTF. The only relevant questions are:
- When does it start?
- How bad will it get?
- How long will it last?
- What will the aftermath look like?

Presented, quick hit style, are some links. Print them out and start a binder – if the SHTF badly enough you won’t be able to retrieve these off the net or, possibly, even off your computer.

It’s worse than that. That oil is meant for world wars. Draining that reserve when things look like something could happen to trigger a world war is not just stupid, it’s so stupid it has to be deliberate.
