Ok, let's turn away from politics and tackle another, perhaps most important, issue of prepping; community building. One thing I, as an immigrant, am facing is the lack of social cohesion and/or acceptance. It is not just being a migrant, but also holding views that many in my hostcountry see as...

I'd say prepping = political to a great extend, because it, more often then not, is preparing for the repurcussions resulting from political choices. All except major natural disasters, but even those are not always free from a political origin or underpinning. The main problem is that people...

The fearmongering continues. No easier way to control and manipulate a population then it is to do so with a frightened one. Civilizations collapse, new ones arise. The climate changes, gets warmer, gets colder and has always done so. Even without industries, cars or even humans!

I sort of followed the same path, albeit way before the plandemic. I actually deviated from bushcraft ever since with the spiritual journey moving center stage. The latter had been going on for pretty much my entire adult life, but kicked into a much higher gear in the late 2010's, as a result...

A.I., an "intelligence" constructed and fed by a form of life not remotely capable of controlling, let alone using properly, any form of power given to them. What could possibly go wrong? Of course "we" will only use it for good and proper purposes.... just as "we" did with pc's and mobile...

The problem is the supply of food. That you must tackle. We had this issue when we still had chickens. Once we noticed that we had unwelcome visitors they had already grow big and were many. We tried shooting them. Popped off a few almost daily, some at pointblank range (air rifle), but it was...

I am growing impatient and restless! We had a really nice week with spring days, sun and nice temperatures only for king winter to kick us in the family jewels yesterday, today and the coming week.

What I have seen from her so far is rather sensationalistic and selfselling. If a ground war with Russia would indeed happen, it would be initiated by the EU. I for one do not believe Russia has the military or economic capability to pull it of, even if Russia would gain anything worthwhile...

Or lead a horse to water, but can not make it drink. I think they pulled a fast one on Le Pen, even though she still is a politician, so would not put it past her either.

I can relate to your sentiments. Around here And such a detox has much bigger impacts that most of us even realize. Sugar is another one that is really underestimated and which potentially might mess you up real good when withdrawel kicks in.

A 5 year old? Make him/her carry their own lunch, nothing more then that. They wear out faster then you might expect and they will outgrow any backpack you get them. So I would stick to a simple, cheap rucksack from a thriftshop or something like that and maybe a small canteen. Make the bigger...

I have (had) several, including a small one with frame. Which I would not recommend for children. I think they might be a lot less comfortable, due to shape and weight, on their backs then on an adult's. And even for those these framed backpacks are hit or miss. I use none of my Bergans...

When seeing the replies on the posh and the plebby and the apparently vast differnce in cleanliness and waste, I would say it is by choice rather then imposed topdown. If there is no wastecollecting in a city, yet neighbourhoods look ery different, then it is by residents' choice. probably...

Well done! Just a small tip when it comes to boughs and shelter; make them overlap like roof shingles. That way water will be shed outward. What I do/did was start at the bottom, lay a row, then next row, working my way up.

Really?? In that case I think you may speak of a failed state. Even in Sweden, bureaucratic nation nr.1, overarching help is being mobilized within hours. There are playbooks, there is equipment and there are professionals and volunteer organozations. It might not be adequate or all solving, but...
