Life Without Running Water – Part 2

by E. Homesteader, Survival Blog:

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.)

COLLECTION FREQUENCY AND USAGE AMOUNTS

Living in such a dry environment for so many years in Colorado instilled a natural water conservancy in us. Now that we live next to a lake and have abundant rainfall throughout the year, we feel very fortunate to have so much water “at our fingertips.” Currently, our water usage is very low since we don’t have a flush toilet, washing machine, or plants/garden that need watering. Until recently, we didn’t have an indoor shower, either. Laundry and car washing are done in our nearby small town. On average, we fill our drinking containers about once a week. The wash water collection varies, depending on the amount of rain or snow. But if it has been dry, we pull water from the lake about once a week. Regardless, we always keep an eye on our water levels and refill the containers before we run out.

‘Food Deserts’ Are About To Explode All Across America As Grocery Food Chains Prepare To Close Dozens Of Stores From One End Of The Country To The Other

0

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

Food deserts are described by Very Well Health as “lower-income communities that lack access to nutritious, affordable food. Instead of grocery stores or farmers’ markets, these areas have corner stores or gas stations with limited shelf space for anything other than packaged foods that are convenient and shelf-stable. More often than not, these foods are unhealthy.”

That is about to change very quickly after four years under the Biden regime and the inflation that  made it impossible for some families to afford three full meals a day, even when not considered a “food desert.”

“End Of The World Bunker” Listed On Zillow: 10,000SqFt, Blast-Doors, & EMP Shielding

0

from ZeroHedge:

Elites have spent the last decade building and or purchasing underground doomsday bunkers. Whether it’s to survive the next global conflict, civil war in America, a tyrannical government that locks down the economy because of a virus, out-of-control BLM riots, and or possibly a solar storm that zaps that nation’s power and communications grid, bunker demand has been smokin’ hot.

X account “Zillow Gone Wild” posted Thursday about a 10,000 sqft bunker hidden in Polo, Missouri, that was recently listed.

The Hard Truth About Storing Fuel

0

by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper:

We all have read the stories from our favorite post-apocalyptic authors where our hero has stored a huge amount of fuel for his or her vehicles in a facility. To keep warm in the winter, scout in the 4×4, looking for marauders, fueling the generator while a snowstorm outside roars without mercy.

Very romantic. As much as we can enjoy this idea, reality is way different these days. Truth is hard, as most of them are: we can´t store enough fuel for as long as we would like to.

STAGE 2: SURVIVAL MODE

The survival phase is the intermediate period between the very short-term emergency phase and the time when things finally settle down to the New Normal phase.

Once everyone is finally gathered together at the homestead, defenses set up, the freezer contents are canned, freeze dried, smoked, or those blueberries made into cobbler as a comfort food during those first few stressful days, and once we’ve got meals back to some sort of a schedule, chores divvied out, watch times established, and water and propane conservation rules tacked to the wall, we can begin to relax just a little as we transition into survival mode.

Hurricane Milton After Action Review – Part 2

by Soyez Ferme, Survival Blog:

(Continued from Part 1.)

Five days prior to landfall

Sunday it was time to check the gas in all vehicles and 5-gallon jugs. I had 15 gallons of ethanol free gas for equipment, and I needed to fill up three empty jugs of regular gas for vehicle and farm truck use. I also filled up my truck and my wife’s SUV. This was Sunday before the storm and before panic fuel buying began. My tractor and generator run on diesel. On Sunday I assessed that there was 70 gallons of diesel on hand and that would be enough for getting through hurricane recovery.

Preparedness in the New Golden Age or Grimy Age – Part 1

by Single Farmer, Survival Blog:

Editor’s Introductory Note: This young man is prayerfully seeking a wife. He is offering an after-marriage gift of up to $50,000 to whoever introduces him to his bride with $18,000 after their marriage and another $16,000 to the individual who provided the introduction after the first two births of healthy children born to him and his wife, for a total potential gift of $50,000. For further details, see this link to his article posted on February 24th, 2025: My Quest For a Wife.

We find ourselves in a unique time which will be of great change. We can either make preparations to survive this time period like any other time or take whatever happens as it happens. Prepared people like to have options, so I am going to present to you a practical and historical case study of previous golden ages. I will bring you on a short historical journey to a few different golden ages along with some more difficult times, analyze the current situation, and provide some very practical ideas. I do hope that this journey will be profitable to you and that you will pass along any wisdom that you find to others. This is a very “future” piece, so please do not take anything I write as advice as this is only speculative. Consider this to be at best a “Gedankenexperiment” — a thought experiment — and I may be very wrong in my conclusions. It would be wonderful to be wrong and for us to be truly entering a golden age. Every day that we do not use our supplies eating from our pantries in peace and using our firearms for sport and recreation is a wonderful day. Please verify everything yourself and pray for the success of our country during this time.

4 Precautions to Take in Anticipation of the Next Fake Disease

by Paul A. Philips, Activist Post:

Remember, Bill Gates didn’t say it could happen again. No, he said unequivocally; “there will be another global pandemic.” So be highly suspicious. The next fake disease could be looming on the horizon. Be prepared. Be health savvy. Be willing to push back against THEY (The Hierarchy Enslaving You) to mitigate their attempts to harm you and restrict your freedoms on EVERY level.

Do whatever it takes. We cannot acquiesce to these evil perpetrators. As the saying goes, give them an inch and they’ll take a mile…

The 80/20 Rule of Prepping: Focus on What REALLY Matters First

by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper:

Do you feel overwhelmed by trying to get prepared?  The checklists feel endless.  There’s always another gadget, always another class, always another bucket of food that you need to add to your stockpile.

At one point, someone gave me an Excel spreadsheet with a multitude of tabs at the bottom, which linked to every area of life and gave me a list of things that I “needed” that I couldn’t purchase all of even if I lived for two hundred years!  That didn’t help me!  It discouraged me!

One Man Found The Infamous “Carpet Trails” In Florida That Lead To Enormous Homeless Encampments Way Back In The Woods

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

If you are still able to afford a decent home, you should consider yourself to be incredibly blessed, because vast numbers of Americans do not have a permanent place to live at this point.  Homelessness in the United States is at the highest level ever recorded, and it has been growing at the fastest pace ever recorded.  The homeless encampments that have been popping up all over our major cities have been making lots of headlines in recent years, but many of the homeless live and die in very isolated places far from public view.  What I am about to share with you should deeply sadden all of us.

4 Ways People Respond to Crisis Situations and How NOT to Panic

by Chloe Morgan, The Organic Prepper:

There is no doubt that, at some point in your life, you have experienced or will experience a major crisis. This can be anything from a major natural disaster, to a mass shooting, to getting stuck in your car in the middle of winter for hours on end and not knowing how long you will be there. The moral of the story is that disaster and crisis will most likely find you at some point in your life.

Knowing ahead of time how you, and the people around you, will most likely react can literally mean the difference between life and death for you and your loved ones. After all, isn’t that why we prep? To make sure we can make it through what life throws at us? I know it’s why I do it. A big part of that is mental preparation, and it’s an area that many people overlook.

by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper:

Because of the growing fear of mass shootings and terrorist attacks all over the world, advice about how to survive mass shootings or sniper attacks are everywhere, and there are useful but there is a bit of confusion there.

Sniper attacks in collapse and mass shootings today in peaceful times have a lot of common things, but some facts are different.

I will concentrate here on some advice concerning sniper attacks when SHTF since I have seen and experienced more than a few of those.
