First, I am merely an “enlightened amateur”. Please vet & check on your own. Caveat emptor. Consider these to be priming the pump for your own investigations. I know this is a long post; I am attempting to put out a lot of information as a resource. Read or skip sections depending on your interests.
Second, I fear spicy time is very close, 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:
- Mentality: first and foremost in survival is having a flexible mentality and cultivating the ability to adapt. Vanity has no place in survival.
- Develop a meatspace network of people that are likeminded: cultivate your community ties and build 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.
And please follow both me, Nitzakhon, on Gab… as well as my blog host Granite Grok and also on Telegram Tommy Robinson Official plus his Urban Scoop site. And don’t forget posts sometimes get cloned on American Reveille as well, which is a good site to check out in general.
FYI, here’s a link to the companion Survival Sunday – SITREP Edition.
And a hat trick of prior essays of mine:
Unsettling Connections – Liberty’s Torch (libertystorch.info) (bolding in original):
And notice the spin, saying the common good is the highest priority and a fundamental American value.
No.
Either the individual is sovereign or The State is. And if The State is the highest good, then that is a functional definition of Socialism over Individualism. And while individuals can, voluntarily, subsume their interests to the collective, the key word to this is voluntary.

“He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion.”

I never joined a debate club in high school or college because I knew I’d have to learn and then argue for a side that I didn’t agree with. What a loss.

Why You Need To Hide Your Harvested Rainwater – Ask a Prepper
I would never condone the violation of any laws or regulations outside an SHTF situation.
However, that being said, many preppers will still harvest rainwater knowing that they are in violation of local or state laws and regulations.
These people will definitely want to conceal these activities from the view of anyone walking by.
It would also be a good idea to hide your barrels or tanks from aerial surveillance as well. Local governments may use drones to check the backyards of people they suspect to be in violation of any rainwater collection laws.
I suspect a LOT of stuff that’s illegal will suddenly be on the table in a SHTF situation.

Evil Must Be Confronted! We Can’t Wish It Away!
Maybe I am just ahead of my time. I’ll never forget many, many years ago at one of my first Tea Party meetings when the leaders at the time asked me my ideas for fixing our “government”. The look on their faces, the utter shock, when I stated that there was no voting our way of this mess, was a little surprising to me. But the utter horror you could see when I said we need to kill every last communist in this world, It’s the only way to solve our issues, was telling.
I’m meant to fight this evil. I know it. I just haven’t been told its go time yet. So I write. It’s hard to not be pessimistic. With each passing day the future for my children grows ever darker. It breaks my heart watching what is happening on a daily basis. More and more people are openly discussing our final option, so that gives me hope.
I, regretfully, concur. TINVOWOOT.

Katie Hopkins: The truth about GB News — I have been keeping this to myself…until now.
I wanted to say it was Communist Noam Chomsky who said to make the Overton window as narrow as possible to exclude as many broad perspectives as possible, but then make it seem as though there’s enormous activity and amplify the differences seen in that narrowed window to distract from the excluded voices.
>>>>>=====<<<<<
Short of years 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?

Concentrate Where The Murders Are Concentrated | ZeroHedge
- The worst five counties (Cook, Los Angeles, Harris, Philadelphia, and New York) accounted for about 15 percent of homicides.
- The worst 1 percent of counties (31), with 21 percent of the US population, accounted for 42 percent of the homicides.
- The worst 2 percent of counties (62), with 31 percent of the population, accounted for 56 percent of the homicides.
- The worst 5 percent of counties (155), with 47 percent of the population, accounted for 73 percent of the homicides.
- In contrast, over half of US counties (52 percent) had zero homicides in 2020, and roughly one-sixth of the counties (16 percent) had only one.

Concluding thoughts if I’m moved to comment:
This is monstrous. Utterly.
And yet… there are people who will think this is a good idea. How far we’ve descended down the morality slope. Yes, the woman is brain dead, but it’s still a living person. It gets worse – I’ve seen, in a post I can’t find specifically, how the Globalists could use condemned female prisoners as gestational units for their own babies.
How soon before the organ banks from Larry Niven’s future world starts condemning prisoners and breaking them down for organs? Consider this proposal to implant a woman’s womb in a biological man… could dead or condemned prisoners have their reproductive organs taken for this purpose? I’m trying to chase down a rumor that in the UK there are rules being passed mandating organ harvesting. (I’ve taken the “I’m an organ donor” symbol off my driver’s license.)
Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing on our society in debauchery. Hashem will not tolerate being so mocked for long.
