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 buffet-style 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 last Survival Sunday – SITREP Edition.

IIRC it was Eisenhower who said that proposed laws should be looked at in terms of how they could be misused, not just trust in the good intentions of those who wrote it. And more recently, look at the leak of classified info. How… convenient.

Oddments – random thoughts on prepping:
- Understand – most Leftists hate you. Take that into account as you prep, as you discuss with others, etc.
- When some version of SHTF happens, these people will turn on you with a white-hot hatred. Not just because you have preps and they don’t… but because you were the perceptive ones who saw what they did not, and worse you took action, outclassing and outsmarting their uber-intellectual educated selves. You saw, and prepared for, what they dismissed and derided as impossible while feeling morally and intellectually superior in that derision.
- I see and hear lots of ads for gold and silver and overall endorse the idea. Here’s the problem: The Potato (or more precisely, his handlers) may simply do an FDR. And your purchases through websites or dealers are on record.

Not just physical goods. Skills. Knowledge. And a network of people willing to cooperate.

Range estimation is a key skill in the sniper’s toolbox. If you don’t know how far away your target is, you have little chance of hitting it on the first shot. One shot, one kill…right? There are many methods of locating the target’s range. For the purpose of this period of instruction we will be covering range estimation with the mildot reticle and it’s variants.

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?

Foraging: One-up articles
Coastal Foraging – Mussels, Clams, Crab and Lobster – Clean and Delicious Cookup Autumn 2022
Talks about the “R” rule for foraging shellfish. There’s an old joke:
A Rabbi is walking along the street on Yom Kippur (a fasting day), and sees one of his congregants at a restaurant feasting on raw oysters (not kosher). He rushes up and starts castigating the man:
Rabbi: Eating? Eating non-kosher food? And on Yom Kippur???
Man: What, there’s no “R” in Yom Kippur?

A personal note: Unfortunately, there are several medications I critically need. One, in particular, is a very common medication these days. Yet my pharmacy texted me to make sure I was “still in the market” so that they could pre-order it and make sure that they have it in stock when it’s time to refill. Same for the associated hardware with that medication; just got the text today. (You might be able to put 2 and 2 together here.)
Huh? This is like a pharmacy asking if you’ll need a refill on, say, a high blood pressure medication that’s prescribed to hundreds of people in the area – and checking to make sure they have it in stock for you when your refill is due.
These common things should be in stock, period.
