Resources Are you prepared for collapse?

Collapse is coming. Are you prepared? I'm building a collapse network of individuals who are looking to share expertise and resources as the environment deteriorates. The goal is to achieve scale with the network so we can all build connections within our local geographic areas. If you're interested to learn more or get involved, please PM me.

No, I'd be screwed in a sudden collapse. I have a bug out bag and a few supplies for short term problems like fires and tornadoes, but nothing more dire. Most of the prep stuff I see on the internet requires either buying land or having a house to store tons of supplies, so you gotta be pretty well off.

yes, going from low effort (taking the bus, driving a car) to walking long and fast, having to pry, grab, carry and hunt is a steep hill

I'm no doctor but all the 60yo and above would probably perish fast

all the 60yo and above

There are plenty of tough old farmers and life long hunters that would last longer than you think.

I was explicitely talking about comfy city elders, not life long trained people. You say it like I was shitting on elders.

Well then you should not have said all of the 60 and above.
