Prepping

When we think about Typhoid, Cholera and Dysentery visions of the old west come to mind, but in a situation that causes a societal breakdown these diseases could rear their ugly head again.
These are the bigger diseases that could become prevalent in a post collapse society, but even getting the common cold could put a damper on your plans.
This week we talked about some of the major disease’s, how to cure them, some of the antibiotics that are needed and how to prevent them with proper sanitation.
I will also list which fish antibiotics are good alternatives to the human antibiotic. I also wrote a post that goes into detail about fish antibiotics here.
IMPORTANT: Contrary to popular belief, antibiotics can have adverse affects if improperly used

We all love to think about what it would be like to not have to depend on public service companies, making the grocery store a convenience and not a necessity by growing our own food and living a more self-reliant life in general.
All this sounds great, but what would it take to go completely off grid? And how hard would it actually be?
The truth is, most of the real work goes on behind the scenes and never makes it to the internet. You won’t find many videos of people pulling weeds (unless you’re looking for it) and you won’t find many videos of people cleaning up after their animals…The dirty work.
With that being said, here’s the good, the bad and the ugly about what it would take to go completely off grid.
Keep in mind, I’m not talking about erasing your footprint and hiding from the alphabet agencies, I’m talking about living a more self-reliant lifestyle.

Now that’s a show title that will get you clicking to listen how we connect the two topics. We don’t; they’re just two topics. In Episode 187, we describe why the Monkey Pox hysteria is something you don’t need to worry about and then we transition to an overview of home canning.

This episode I talk about:
* The Grain Reserves In Western Europe are or at  critical levels.
* The Governments plan to shut down civilian communications in an Emergency Scenario
* The Continuity of Government (COG) plan to survive an Apocalypse without you.
* and of course, My Commentary.  

Operational security, situational awareness and intelligence gathering they not the subjects that you typically think about when you think prepping, but they are just as important as any of the supplies or gear we buy.
We can have a large amount of food stored, water filters, solar panels, bug out bags and first aid supplies, but if we can’t protect it, we could end up with nothing. Protecting your supplies doesn’t necessarily mean by force, it could mean staying out of situations that require force.
Things we do daily that we don’t give a second thought to, Not paying attention to what’s going on locally and globally, and not holding our cards close to our vest can all put us at risk.
In the context of what we are talking about in today’s show, which is keeping yourself safe and informed before during and after a disaster, all of these are subjects are intertwined. This is the stuff you can’t buy to become better prepared but is just as important…if not more.

In Episode 186, we answer more Patreons’ questions. All of them are good. We cover lots of topics of interest to you.

Communications and disaster planning are some of the most important aspects of preparedness. What would you do if you were on your way to work and all the sudden the power in the city goes out? The more important question is what would your family and loved ones do?
We know that a power outage could be caused by several things ranging from a blown transformer, to a full blown EMP, but does your family know how to tell the difference?
The sad truth is that most people are extremely unprepared to handle any sort of disaster scenario, and while we can’t help everyone, we can make sure our family understands the basics at the very least.
