How many of you have a “sixth sense” that what you are doing (preparedness) is as though you’re being positioned for what may come? Do you feel that what you’re doing is “meant to be”? Guided? Is it as though unseen forces or intuition is leading you to be ready …
“Any short term event is very survivable, even for the unprepared. Only the very stupid or very unlucky will die in a short term event.” That quote was from a comment here many years ago regarding items that would disappear first following a SHTF event. It got me to thinking …
Sheeple diagnosis. Someone started this topic in a recent comment thread here on MSB. I thought it was pretty funny and that it would be fun to ask you all for additional “one liner’s” to add for the list. Just what or who are Sheeple? What is a Sheeple? ‘Sheeple …
Rather than rehashing the technicalities of the EMP weapon itself and how it works (electromagnetic pulse), instead let’s talk about what the average citizen can do for themselves to prepare for an EMP. Some tech talk: Nuclear EMP Components E1, E2, E3, and what they mean… Prepare For An …
It really is incredible when you start to think deeply about our reliance upon electricity and the terrible disastrous consequences of being without it for a long period of time. Heck, even a relatively short period of time without electricity will likely result in people “losing it”… How long will …
(Driving across Great Salt Lake Desert) I am about to wrap up a journey of more than 8,000 miles while traveling (driving) from the far reaches of the northeast all the way to California and back again along a different route. It has been an amazing and very enjoyable …
I have known for quite some time that one’s chances of encountering a dangerous situation or “close call” or everyday risks in general are directly proportional to the population density of the region. I have a unique advantage of being able to tell you that this is 100% accurate… Here’s …
Modern cities are not natural in that they are artificial unnatural centers of human existence. Cities rely upon energy and resources from elsewhere to enable their existence and survival. These resources come from mostly invisible and intertwined complicated ‘just-in-time’ distribution networks and systems, and life in the city wouldn’t exist …
I am currently on a road-trip and holed-up in eastern Pennsylvania under a Blizzard Warning while the forecast 24+ inches of the white stuff is shutting down all trucker transportation (and the rest) for tens of millions in the northeast. As I was driving today I knew of the forecast …
At a bare minimum we have become more vulnerable for ‘disruption’ as our society has become more complex. But it doesn’t stop there. Perhaps more accurately we might say that ‘catastrophe’ or ‘meltdown’ are better words to describe our vulnerability from the systemic risks that are built-in to our modern …
Los Angeles, Thanksgiving Getaway 2016 When I saw these traffic images of complete gridlock, and whenever I see or experience a nightmarish traffic situation, it affects me in a way that’s probably a bit different than others… While others who are stuck in the same traffic jam are most likely …
The coming banking collapses, and the coming failure and disintegration in the global financial system (monetary, credit, and financial asset meltdown), is going to be fast and chaotic — and will crush society and the way of life as we know it. What will be the mechanism of the societal …
The Colonial Pipeline runs from Texas to New York and supplies gasoline to an estimated 50 million people a day on the East Coast. On September 9, a 36-inch pipeline was shut down near Birmingham, Alabama where a major ‘leak’ was discovered. The shutdown of Colonial Pipeline service to ‘Line …
