Bad weather down on the front range. Rain, hail, tornados, flooding, sounds like the apocalypse. If you’ve ever read the Bible, the Book of Revelations is pretty dark. I think most people believe in God, but the degree varies. As people age, they get more religious, which is not surprising. At a concert at Red Rocks last night, more than a hundred people were injured by hail and the stampeding crowd. Hard to tell if the weather is worse or if this is normal. Of course it seems worse to many, but things on Earth sometime happen in cycles that are hundreds of years long so you never really know as no one lives long enough to know.
For us, all you can do is number one, get right with God. After that, there are things you can do to give yourself a better chance than the oblivious sheeple walking around with their faces glued to their cell phones, to survive in today’s World. At the end of the post I’m posting some things to consider but if you’re not into that, you can skip it.
Today Lori and I are running back over to see Ward with her hat. We’ll head to the gym first and then be around the house for the day. I think we’re having cigar night this afternoon as it’ll be the first one with James since he made it home. Ty is coming home this weekend as he’s decided to live here for the summer to save money and the jobs up here pay a lot more than in Denver. Good decision on his part. We told Jag and Ty they don’t need to go to Greg’s memorial service this weekend if they don’t want to. Jag’s been working hard and the girls he lives with are throwing a party and he should stay and have fun with his friends. Maddie’s birthday is tomorrow too so the boys can go see Billie (Greg’s wife) in a week or so.
That’s it as my beautiful wife just strolled out from the bedroom for coffee. Make it a great day and God Bless.
Here are things you can do to help prepare for what’s going on these days, for those interested.
Twelve things to apply that will help you prepare for the coming times
1) Get some of your assets out of the fiat currency debt-based monetary slave system because that system will crater (and it’s rigged anyway). Become proficient in using gold, silver, and crypto as means of exchange, because those assets are more “honest” in the sense that no government can artificially inflate their supply. (No government can print gold, silver, or Bitcoin, in other words.)
2) Relocate far from the “death zone” cities, many of which will be non-survivable. Move to a local area that reflects the culture and rule of law you wish to live within. Things are about to get very local, so you should pick a local living area that reflects philosophies of resiliency, self-reliance, honesty, compassion, and the right to self-defense.
3) Keep your passport up to date in case you need to seek a new destination around the globe. Have a crypto wallet where you have memorized the seed phrase so that you essentially have a “brain wallet” that you can access from anywhere. Use privacy coins that are untraceable to protect your privacy and avoid crypto confiscation attempts.
4) Become proficient in secure, private messaging technology. Deploy the Session app. Learn and deploy privacy crypto (Monero, FIRO, etc.). Learn about Apricorn thumb drives with keypad encryption. We use Signal on our phones. Also, make sure you acquire sat phones, and radio comms as alternative means of communication that don’t rely on cell towers and can’t easily triangulate your physical location. THIS IS A MUST AS COMMUNICATION WILL BE INTERUPTED. WE’RE BUYING SAT PHONES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY AND OUR FRIENDS ARE TOO.
5) Practice dressing down. Discard signs of visible wealth or abundance. Don’t live a flashy lifestyle. Toss flashy jewelry. Move out of your McMansion. Don’t drive a luxury vehicle. Don’t flash cash or gold. Embrace the “grey man” philosophy. Blend in with locals.
6) Store food and learn to grow food so you can be ready for the coming food rationing. Learn how to grow food in a way that isn’t immediately obvious to everyone (guerilla gardening). Stock up on necessary supplements like vitamin D and zinc. Acquire non-GMO garden seeds. Learn food preservation techniques such as canning or drying.
7) Learn a means of self-defense and become proficient in it. The easiest tool to master is a firearm, and the easiest firearm to learn is a rifle. Pistols are much more difficult to deploy and require far more training than using a rifle. (Sight picture, eye dominance, recoil control, etc.) If you don’t know what to buy, get an AR-15 and a Glock 19. Consider acquiring ballistic armor (see HopliteArmor.com) if you anticipate violence targeting your household or community.
8) Be prepared to have your location overrun and have a backup supply of critical items at another location. (Bugout plan.) Be ready for the Marxist / communist “Activation Day” scenario. Have enough supplies at your bugout location so that you have a chance at retaking your home, farm or community buildings if they are initially overrun. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you will never have to retreat from your house, ranch or city. There will be many refugees across America who are fleeing collapsed cities and regional kinetic conflict. This is why having a crypto “brain wallet” is critical because it cannot be detected nor confiscated from you.
9) Secure a reliable water supply at both your primary and secondary locations. Water scarcity is an easy means of control to subjugate the population. A reliable water supply requires water treatment solutions such as a gravity filter or a high-quality pump filter/camping filter. Have a plan to acquire and filter water without using electricity. Consider surface water, well water, and rainwater. Make sure you prepare water storage at both your primary and secondary locations.
10) Stock up on off-grid emergency medical supplies and first aid items. Many will be nearly impossible to acquire after the collapse kicks in. Specifically look at prescriptions (including antibiotics), ivermectin, and antiseptic supplies such as povidone-iodine. Related: Natural News is launching a new telehealth partnership that gives you access to licensed doctors who can write needed prescriptions where medically necessary.
11) Maintain your physical fitness with cardio and strength training, to be ready for the harsh physical realities of surviving a collapse (and working a garden). Bone density is essential for resilience and survival. Stamina will be required for the heavy physical demands of “collapse living.” Anything you can do right now to increase strength, endurance, and bone density will pay off in the years ahead.
12) Practicing living without electricity. Although a total power grid failure may never occur, we do expect regional, intermittent outages that could instantly plunge many areas of the country into darkness. Without electricity, water pumps stop working. Gas stations shut down. Retail establishments cannot function. Refrigerators and freezers halt, and air conditioning grinds to a halt. There are ways to live without electricity, but none of them are convenient or easy. Plan to deploy solar charging devices to provide trickle charges for small electronic devices such as cell phones and flashlights, but also plan for local cell towers to stop functioning for extended periods.
Food for thought, if you can’t do all, do what you can! Make it a great day!
