The verdict is in. Joe Biden is the worst president in the entire history of the United States, and that is really saying something because we have had some absolutely horrible presidents. Just about everything that Biden has done since he entered the White House has turned out badly, and our once great nation is now barreling down a deeply self-destructive path. If we do not reverse course, our country is not going to have a future, and more Americans than ever are losing faith in the federal government. In fact, a brand new survey has discovered that a lack of faith in the government in Washington is motivating large numbers of Americans to hoard “water, food, warm clothing, weapons, and cash” for the extremely chaotic times that are ahead of us…
(Article by Michael republished from TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com)

People watching President Joe Biden’s shaky grip on Washington have lost faith the government will protect them in a doomsday event, and that’s driving a national prepper movement.With the Doomsday Clock the closest to midnight it has ever been, over 70% in a new survey of 6,200 said they “do not have faith in the government” in a catastrophe such as a nuclear war or even climate-change-fueled disaster.
As a result, many are hoarding water, food, warm clothing, weapons, and cash to help them get through the worst days of a doomsday event.

These days, companies that are helping people get prepared for what is coming are generating more revenue than ever before.
In fact, the emergency food industry now generates approximately 500 million dollars in sales each year.
And it turns out that those that are in the 40-year-old to 65-year-old age bracket are the most likely to be prepping…

Those aged 40-65 are more likely to be prepping, and twice as many men as women are getting ready for a disaster.Just what that disaster will be is dividing the nation. Some 55% cited climate change, 36% virus and disease, and 25% a nuclear attack. But there were other concerns. Over 15% are concerned about an asteroid strike, 15% about a robot or artificial intelligence “takeover,” and 7.5% about a “zombie apocalypse.”

It doesn’t surprise me that middle-aged Americans are the most likely to be prepping.
I have noticed that a lot of young people under the age of 40 just don’t understand the changes that we are witnessing all around us.
But those of us that are a little bit older and a little bit wiser can see where global events are taking us.
At this point, even middle-aged celebrities such as Josh Duhamel are preparing for what life will be like after things “hit the fan”…

“Transformers” and “Las Vegas” star Josh Duhamel has spoken out about becoming a doomsday prepper, stating that he’s planning on protecting his family if the “s*** hits the fan” in Los Angeles. The actor, who has starred in the TV show “Las Vegas,” gave an interview in which he explained, “I’ve become a bit of a doomsday prepper, I guess.”Duhamel told the website Inverse, “I’m learning how to hunt. I fish.” He added, “Suddenly I had 54 acres out there. So I had two cabins, one with no electricity or water. They both have wells and electricity now, but they’re both really small.”

Overall, it has been estimated that over 20 million Americans are “actively planning” for some sort of a major emergency…

In 2020, more than 20 million Americans, nearly 7 percent of all U.S. households, were actively planning for an emergency, according to the latest analysis of Federal Emergency Management Agency data.Plus, those stockpiling canned goods in the cupboards, caching ammunition and hoarding toilet paper now come in all stripes – from suburban ‘guardian moms’ to multi-millionaire tech gurus.

Since that figure is a few years old, I have a feeling that the true number would be significantly higher now.
And speaking of “tech gurus”, a group in Japan has actually come up with a survival plan that is truly bizarre.
It is a floating city that can hold up to 40,000 people, and some are calling it “a real life Noah’s Ark”…

TECH boffins have unveiled plans for a bizarre floating city likened to a real life Noah’s Ark.The ocean-based metropolis would provide a “self-sufficient habitat” for 40,000 people, designers in Japan say.

It looks cool, but even once construction is started it will take many years before it is finally ready.
And even though the designers claim that it would be “resilient to an apocalypse”, I severely doubt that it could withstand being hit by a giant tsunami…

The developers, N-Ark, even claim the zone – named Dogen City – would be resilient to an apocalypse.Measuring 4km in circumference, the plan would be for inhabitants to be able to get to any point in the zone within an hour.

At least they are trying to do something.
And the truth is that we should all be trying to do what we can, because all of us can see that our world is getting a little bit more crazy with each passing day.
This week, I was absolutely horrified to learn that three teens actually tried to light sticks of dynamite inside a Philadelphia grocery store…

The Philadelphia Police Department is searching for at least three teenagers who allegedly attempted to light sticks of dynamite inside a grocery store, according to reports.The incident occurred at the Fresh Grocer located on the 5300 block of Chew Avenue in the city’s Germantown section on June 20 at 5:10 P.M., local news station Fox 29 reported.
Police have said that a member of security called the police after seeing teens roughly between the ages of 16 and 19 years old wearing all-black clothing “light sticks of dynamite within the store,” according to the report.

Our entire society is slowly but surely going completely nuts.
It is almost as if we are all stuck inside a really bad science fiction movie and we can’t get out.
Unfortunately, we are only in the very early chapters of this nightmare. Things will eventually get much worse than they are now.
So if you have already been prepping, don’t stop.
If you have not been prepping, I would encourage you to get moving, because the clock is ticking.

Prepping for collapse, famine and nuclear war: 12 Tips that will help you be more resilient when SHTF

06/28/2023 // Zoey Sky // 3K Views

Tags: bug out, chaos, Collapse, famine, homesteading, nuclear war, off grid, panic, preparedness, prepper, prepping, prepping tips, SHTF, survival, survival gear, Survival Tips, survivalist



There are many things you must anticipate as a prepper. and these include emergency scenarios like societal collapse, famine or even nuclear war.These events may seem daunting, but preparing before SHTF should help you get your supplies ready in case you are one day forced to deal with a long-term survival scenario.
Below are 12 tips to help you get ready for societal collapse, famine and nuclear war. (h/t to SHTFPlan.com)
Get some of your assets out of the fiat currency system

The fiat system, which is a rigged, debt-based monetary slave system, will crumble when disaster strikes.
Learn how to efficiently use valuable currencies like gold, silver and crypto as means of exchange. These assets are more "honest" because no government can artificially inflate their supply, meaning no government can print gold, silver or Bitcoin.
Boost your physical fitness with cardio and strength training

Improve your eating habits and exercise regularly to stay fit.
When disaster strikes, being physically fit will give you a significant advantage over non-preppers who are used to a sedentary lifestyle.
Keep in mind that bone density is essential for resilience and survival. You will also need stamina for the heavy physical demands of post-SHTF life.
Do whatever you can right now to increase your strength, endurance and bone density to improve your resiliency.
Boost your fitness levels with cardio and strength training.
Here are some tips to ensure a safe workout when starting a new routine:
Stay hydrated

Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to maintain healthy hydration levels.
Replenishing fluids during exercise is important for maintaining optimal performance, especially if you are working out in hot temperatures.
When you're done, hydrating after your workout can help you recover and get you ready for the next training session.
Follow a nutritious diet
Following a balanced diet will help support your fitness program.
All food groups are necessary to sustain healthy energy levels and get the most out of your workout. You need carbs because they can fuel your muscles before exercise.
Protein helps improve muscle recovery after exercise, repairs tissue damage and builds muscle mass.
Regularly consuming healthy fats has been shown to help burn body fat and preserve muscle fuel during workouts, which helps your energy last longer.
Warm up before exercising
Warming up before your workout will help prevent injuries and improve your athletic performance. Warming up also helps improve your flexibility and reduce soreness after exercising.
Start with some aerobic exercises like arm swings, leg kicks and walking lunges.
You can also warm up by doing easy movements of the exercise you're planning to do, like going on a walk before running.
Cool down after a workout
Cooling down is important because it helps your body return to its normal state. After you exercise, cool down to help restore normal breathing patterns and reduce the chance of muscle soreness.
Do some light walking to cool down after aerobic exercise or stretch after resistance training.
Listen to your body
It's ideal to exercise every day, but if you're starting a new workout routine, learn your limits.
If you feel pain or discomfort while exercising, stop and rest before continuing. Pushing through the pain isn't recommended because this can cause injuries.
Working out "harder and faster" isn't always better. While the goal is to become stronger before SHTF, you should start slow to avoid serious injuries.
Exercise regularly to make the most of it and improve your strength and stamina.
Learn how to use secure, private messaging technology

Secure your data and communicate using secure apps like Session. The Session app is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimizes sensitive metadata.
According to the Session website, the app was "designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance."
If you invest in Bitcoin, learn how to use privacy crypto. You can also boost your data security with Apricorn thumb drives with keypad encryption.
Before SHTF, get sat phones and radio comms as alternative means of communication that don't rely on cell towers and can't be used to triangulate your physical location.
Learn to grow and store/preserve food

If your property is secure, grow fruits and vegetables in a home garden, such as:

1. Lettuce
2. Green beans
3. Radishes
4. Tomatoes (by transplant, i.e. small nursery plant)
5. Zucchini
6. Peppers (by transplant)
7. Beets
8. Carrots
9. Chard, kale, or spinach
10. Peas

If you don't have space for a garden or you want to grow more food but in a less obvious way, read up on guerilla gardening.
Acquire non-GMO seeds to use in your garden. Learn food preservation techniques like home canning or drying so you can preserve food for future use. You can also use preserved food for bartering.
Ensure your overall wellness by also stocking up on various supplements like vitamin D and zinc.
Secure a reliable water supply at your house and bug-out location

Those in power may use water scarcity to control the population.
Stay self-sufficient by securing a water supply in your primary location or your house, and in your secondary location or your bug-out location.
You will also need water treatment solutions such as a gravity filter or a high-quality pump filter/camping filter.
If power outages are common in your area, find a reliable way to acquire and filter water without using electricity.
Consider sources like surface water, well water and rainwater.
Stock up on off-grid emergency medical supplies and first aid items

If you or someone else in the family has a medical condition, like diabetes or hypertension, find a way to stock up on the necessary prescription medication.
Many medical supplies and first aid items will be very difficult to acquire after SHTF, so stock up on first aid essentials like ivermectin and antiseptic supplies such as povidone-iodine.
Learn how to live without electricity

While there is a very low chance of a total power grid failure, you should prepare for regional, intermittent outages that could plunge many areas of the country into total darkness.
Without electricity, water pumps will stop working. Gas stations will shut down and retail establishments cannot function.
You won't be able to use your refrigerator, freezer and air conditioning.
As the pioneers have proven, you can live without electricity, but it isn't convenient or easy. Invest in hand tools like hammers and saws so you can build and repair things on your property as needed after SHTF.
Get solar charging devices to charge small electronic devices such as cell phones and flashlights.
Practice dressing down

As a prepper you must learn how to be discreet. Be confident, but remain humble.
Do not wear or carry signs of visible wealth like branded clothing or expensive bags and jewelry. Don’t drive a luxury vehicle and don’t flash wads of cash when buying groceries.
Learn the "gray man" philosophy and blend in. When SHTF, knowing how to disappear or blend in may save your life.
Learn how to defend yourself

Guns are ideal for self-defense and for protecting your family when SHTF. Some say the easiest firearm to learn is a rifle.
Meanwhile, others consider pistols as more difficult to deploy and require far more training than using a rifle because a pistol involves mastering sight picture, eye dominance and recoil control.
If you don’t know what kind of firearm to buy, get an AR-15 and a Glock 19. Consider getting ballistic armor if you are worried about violence targeting your household or community. (Related: Survival 101: How to protect your family during civil war.)
Have a bug-out plan

Prepare for the Marxist/communist "Activation Day" scenario and have a detailed bug-out plan.
Store enough supplies at your bug-out location so you have a chance at retaking your home or farm if they are overrun after SHTF.
You don't need to be paranoid, but as a prepper you must be ready to evacuate if needed. If money is an issue, consider getting a crypto "brain wallet" so no one can detect or steal it from you.
Move away from "death zone" cities

If your city is considered a "dead zone," move as far away as possible.
Look for a new location that reflects the culture and rule of law you agree with. Choose a local living area that reflects philosophies of resiliency, self-reliance, honesty, compassion and the right to self-defense.
Keep your passport up to date if you need to travel

Prepare a crypto wallet and memorize the seed phrase so you have a "brain wallet" that you can access from anywhere.
Use untraceable privacy coins to protect your privacy and avoid crypto confiscation attempts. Use crypto swap aggregation sites to trade Bitcoin into privacy coins.
Exercise, start a home garden and finalize your bug-out plan so you can survive when SHTF.
Watch the video below for tips on how to harden your bug-out location.
