I feel the same. There is only one other thing that I feel that same way about. It is what I hope I am actually wrong about, but everything tells me it is what's wrong ... the adverse effects of the experimental injections. In addition to food, people need to think about heating and energy after food and water sources. The more we can individually pitch in to self sustain ourselves, the less competition for resources. There is no harm in reasonable back-up plans so long as we do not over-correct. If anything some back-up will give peace of mind.
Stock for sure. If someone has never grown food, I can't recommend it, if they can't afford to lose the entire investment. They will most likely fail, because it's difficult in good conditions and success comes with experience over years. The trampoline might not have been on sitting on productive soil. Even professionals fail in bad years. On the other hand, it is worth remembering that you can eat dandelion greens, clovers, wild rose hips, juniper berries, spruce and other evergreen tips, among numerous other plants that may grow wildly in close proximity to where you live (these grow here, as well as wild raspberries, wild strawberries). While these thing won't satisfy caloric needs, they are nutrient rich. If you insist on noob gardening, try peas and carrots.
Squirrels and rabbits are easy to live trap, and wire cage traps are not expensive; available at a local hardware store. In this state, you do not need a license to hunt/trap small game on your residential property. A .22 rifle with subsonic rounds is quieter than an airgun, if you prefer that. And don't forget about potable water.
Green coffee is up 20-30% over last year. I roast my own as a hobby. I have not seen Brazilian beans offered for quite some time. Green beans were typically US$6-8 per pound until this year. Now I see $8-10. I get over it by considering coffee as currency in the apocalypse. I think it's the #2 globally traded commodity, right? My inventory is probably ten times my historic average; enough for several months of personal consumption. Green coffee stores well.
experimental studies suggest that not only does malnutrition suppress the host's immune response to virus, but that it may also facilitate the emergence of novel viral variants, which display increased pathogenicity relative to the original parental strain (Beck et al., 2004).
Thank you very much for this one, while pretty much on the face that paper is a very amazing read (it should be obvious for most scientists/doctors this fact).
"We hypothesize that increased oxidative stress in the host, induced by dietary deficiencies in antioxidants or by increased consumption of pro-oxidant nutrients, might provide a selective environment by which the more virulent genotype (already present in the viral quasispecies) is able to outcompete the original consensus sequence. Consequently, a new genotype becomes dominant, which has a more pathogenic phenotype."
Serious question: I watch the reporter Gonzalo Lira report from Ukraine. He lives in a warzone and was recently detained by the secret police yet he is still free(kinda) and has internet and coffee as you see in his daily videos.
Lets say I live in Northern Scotland miles away from wars. Why should I stock food? If, even in a warzone, ill still have internet and coffee. Im asking cos im trying to guage how prepped one needs to be.
Because he can afford it, Coach Red Pill always had money, and he is probably making a lot now. You should stock because of what WILL come, not what is happening right now.
Think months down the line, and try to look from a complexity perspective. Revisit a lot of my older pieces, write down the points >your gut< tells you to, at the end of it, read and see where they lead out.
If you have money, you probably don't need to stock, but you will spend a decent portion of your wealth if/when things go downhill.
Preaching a low carb diet AND stocking up on staples(carb-laden, GMO garbage mainly). Grow a darn garden and be excellent customers of REALLY GOOD FRIENDS of farmers producing what you cannot. Join the organic CSA’s, pay the higher prices for their nutritionally denser food, & offer free help if they need. Most of the good food to eat expires quickly. But hey, maybe we’ll make a dent in obesity finally!
Thank you for the kind words. Also, it is something people should be more aware, the complexity of the system, and a lot of people refuse to accept that bad things could happen.
I hope he finds something that works for him, it is stamina issue (shortness of breath) or it is energy issues (fatigue). Sometimes people think it is stamina but it is fatigue, well, anyway, hope he recover soon. I had the damn injection.
Stock and sow. Thank you for the reminder. Out goes the unused trampoline, in goes the garden.
If I am wrong, I will own it, I always own my wrong takes, but this one goes beyond mere analysis or anything else.
My gut isn't telling me, it is screaming. Like, all the signs are there. Yet most refuse to see it.

Remember too folks. It is one thing to have a stock of root veggies, beans and rice. But you also need the fuel and means to cook it.
Seems like Kay Brackson's twitter account got suspended. I wouldn't at all doubt the marxists at Twitter think this is misinformation.
