First, remember I am merely an “enlightened amateur” as far as anything survival goes. Please vet & 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. IMHO, set your minimum sights on a three-month period.
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.
Fourth, as you read here, note that I present an aggregation of articles that I think are interesting, but I do not have time to vet them. Caveat emptor.

Short of years of preparation and untold wealth, you cannot possibly be fully prepared for everything (I have to keep reminding myself of that). 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?

I predicted this. I predicted this for YEARS. First, gay marriage. Then multiple-person group marriages – which are in process. Then “intergenerational love”. Mark my words; book mark this. Soon it will be “interspecies love”.

Presented, quick hit style, are some links to specific-topic prepper articles I think are particularly noteworthy. 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 (I remember one Y2K event I went to – someone was selling survival info on CDs… yeah, useful when the power’s out!):

I deliberately chose a Left-leaning source to verify this:
PBS – THE BUFFALO WAR: The Buffalo
To make matters worse for wild buffalo, some U.S. government officials actively destroyed bison to defeat their Native American enemies who resisted the takeover of their lands by white settlers. American military commanders ordered trips to kill buffalo to deny Native Americans an important source of food.
You think the US government wouldn’t use food against those whom it considers its enemies? Against you? They already have set the precedent.

Wrap-up commentary if I am moved to do so:
Sorry this is so sparse this week. The younger kid brought home a nasty flu, and “generously” shared it with me.
My closing thought; anguish at this:
I have two children. I’d like to have more, but for multiple reasons that does not seem to be in the cards. Nevertheless, people are choosing to be childless, or offload the “hassles” of parenthood – in this case, pregnancy – onto another. It’s the I WANT IT ALL generation.
Now, as Thomas Sowell once observed:
Life has many good things. The problem is that most of these good things can be gotten only by sacrificing other good things. We all recognize this in our daily lives. It is only in politics that this simple, common sense fact is routinely ignored.
I cannot count the number of hours of sleep I have had sheared from my life because of my kids. Hours and hours driving hither and yon. Countless dollars on clothes, toys, sports, lessons, etc. And I regret none of it. And yes, I had the lesser commitment in bringing them into the world, but that’s part of the experience too.
We are being shorn from the fundamentals of humanity, of family, by modernity. And it is a loss that I fear our children will suffer most.
