Anyone who thinks a survival kit will do anything during a real global catastrophe is kidding themselves.
Moonshoe acts like our society is all bad and volcanos are erupting and we are shooting nuclear missles at each other every day.
I actually think we do a great job at what we do. We have 7 billion people on this earth and overall we coexist peacefully. There are some wars going on in under developped nations, but I think over time when they start to become more developed that will improve to.
Overall, I think the outlook is good and I think Moonshoe acts like it is really bad but that is simply not the case.

Mad respect moonshoe, and thank you for sharing your prep information.
I don't really have the means for a full prep, however, my family and myself have some basic precautions we took..just in case.
so far, we've tapped an underground stream for water, have quite a few MRE's and other non-perishable food in storage, a generator/solar panels, firearms/ammo, medicine and non GMO seed...several survival guides, first aid books, and plant identification books saved to an external hard-drive in case of emergency.
If the SHTF in my lifetime, I'm at-least prepared enough to not die the first week or so.

In what way will being out in the woods save you from catastrophe? Having a good supply of food is a plus, having a backup generator is good, a few other things too. But a bag to grab and run off to the wilderness makes no sense. You have less chance in the woods than in your own home.

Moonshoe the biggest catastrophe that will happen is Canada is forgetting to open a door for a stranger and saying "oops, sorry". It is not that bad bro you act like the world is this awful place.

But imo canada takes fairly good care of its citizens compared to the US. Also, you guys have low population and high resources. Overall a much better position

I really hate being the one who breaks it to you, death takes us all.please don't be shocked when what you are worring about happens and you can't do shit to stop it or save yourself. Live while you still can and accept the fact that you are already dead.Quote:
Moonshoe said: Honey bee populations, responsible for most of human food crops, are plummeting.
Mass die offs of fish, birds and animals are becoming increasingly common.
Enormous methane beds on the ocean floor are beginning to vent, which could cause a global extinction.
Ocean life is dying off at exponential rates, most commercial fish stocks are gone.
Deforestation has reached epic levels, compromising Earths oxygen cycle.
Climate change and global warming are reaching tipping point levels, perhaps triggering an out of control feedback loop.
Ocean levels are predicted to rise, and the majority of humanity lives on the coast, potentially triggering an unprecedented refugee crisis.
Impacts from asteroids threaten the Earth on a daily basis, as does super volcano eruption, which is due and could happen at any time (Yellowstone).
The ozone layer has been compromised, and earth is more vulnerable to a solar mass ejection or super flare that could knock out global power, including the cooling systems of nuclear power plants.
A global pandemic is inevitable.
Population explosion is unsustainable, inevitably threatening food crisis, water crisis etc.
Potable water is becoming more scarce. Water wars and chronic water scarcity looms on the horizon.
These are only a few of the indicators that should make us concerned that a potential global catastrophe, or set of catastrophes, is increasingly likely and fundamentally inevitable.
Therefore, preparation is warranted.
I have spent years preparing as best as I can, now I am beginning a new cycle of preperation.
What am I doing today?
Packing and organizing my various bug out bags full of concentrated essential survival supplies.
Filling hundreds of litres of reverse osmosis water in 18.9 litre jugs.
Stockpiling hundreds of meals of freeze dried food with a 20 year shelf life.
Stocking up on canned goods, medicines, drugs, weapons, ammunition, breathing masks and respirators, candles, firewood, matches, lighters, antibiotics topical and oral, knives, axes, latex gloves, work gloves, rain gear, camping gear, batteries, flash lights, radio, hygiene products, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, bug repellant...
Everything required to survive in as many potential scenarios as possible, from being stuck in a city while food and water and electricity systems break down, to surviving in the wilderness.
I have built redundant survival stockpiles, one in my home, one in my car, so that if I am out of the house in my car when shit hits the fan I am ready to survive anywhere, or if I am trapped at home I am likewise prepared.
Stockpiling non GMO heirloom vegetable seeds, cannabis seeds, building long term sustainability infrastructure-
Long term- solar panels, rainwater tanks, xeriscaped and permacultured food gardens, food trees, compost, green house and ultimately subteranean survival bunker.
If you can't afford to do much, just get the basics:












And a bonus tip: Get a glass of red wine and add a tsp of turmeric powder. Drink this daily.
Its a tonic for modern times.
What else can you do?
Prepare, and also travel and enjoy life, while we still can. So much beauty remains in the world, enjoy every second of it, but prepare for the changes that are already upon us.
When everyone else starts to prepare, its already too late.
The only chance to prepare is now, while most people are still oblivious to the urgency of this crisis.
Meditate. Find inner peace. Spend time with your family and friends.
Spend your life giving love, to yourself and those who are close to you. Love yourself, your life, your family, your friends, the earth, every second of your life, love every inhalation and every exhalation, every beat of your heart, every rising and setting of the sun and the moon.
Namaste.

Why the fuck do people keep posting the long quotes? I agree with moonshoe that natural disaster or economic disaster will come. But if my whole family died and whatnot I doubt I would want to live. This life I have right now is pretty good. I cant imagine the hell of disaster.

Guys guys 
1..You see a guy taking preparations to be self reliant instead of relying on the government in case of calamity, realistic and otherwise.
2..You overemphasize how extreme and bizarre it all is.
3..Profit! You saved yourself the hassle of taking even basic precautions to prepare for calamity.
So you got a gun and want to take his prep? Well tadaa so does Moonshoe, and he has a small militia of devoted friends taking a stand with him, out of loyalty and because he gave them a strategic advantage with his prep.
If you don't want to go as far as Moonshoe heres what to do:
-Assume you'll take your stand in your home. -Get a first aid kit for the home, you really need that anyway. -Get acetaminophen, get diphenhydramine, get loperamide. -Get food and drink for a month in your home. -Get a camping stove and cartridges to cook the food and a months supply of toiletpaper and trashbags to wipe and get rid of the food. -Get a bottle of non sudsy chlorine bleach and a pair of household gloves. Refresh this bottle every year. Also get a pack of dust mouth masks, such as used in construction. -If possible, get a months worth of cash in your home in small bills. -Get a LifeStraw. You need just one for up to a family. -Get candles, glowsticks, a led flashlight, batteries and a lil radio set to the emergency frequency. -Get a survival book or at the very least download LDS and BUSHDOCTOR and USARMY (these are direct downloads of .pdf files here on the Shroomery) -Get a quality survival style knife like a Ka-Bar or Fallkniven F1 and a knife sharpener, a multitool and waterproof matches. -Get a weapon for home defense. In tight gun law countries this can be something like a chefs knife or screwdriver ducktaped to a yard long steel pipe, a machete or quality shortsword such as a wakizashi, crossbow, ice axe (for mountaineering), pepperspray or baseball bat, in places like the US a handgun is best. -Get some drugs in your home that you won't binge on but which will help pass the time and serve as potential barter. Don't forget coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco if you are in the habit and can have em in your home without going overboard.
You don't have to get this all at once, you can pick up an item every now and then and add it to your collection.
As for a months food and drink, you can consider getting a box of emergency rations, army ones (like the NRG-5 the UN and Red Cross uses but your own nation's army typically has the most affordable kind) or luxury ones like the freeze dried gourmet stuff like Mountain House brand. Emergency rations have the advantage of being compact, calorie dense and have shelf lives of 10, 15 or 25 years which means you can forget about them for over a decade. In addition to that many can be consumed as-is so theres no need for elaborate cooking, which may not be possible.
If you got these you are waaay ahead of nine out of ten people. Note that a prep like this is of a size you can still stuff in a car and drive off with.
Interest your VERY closest friends in the whole prep thing and propose to shack up in case of calamity. This combines your efforts, supplies and skills and at once you got a team. Teams of tight knit friends have higher survivability.

were all to poor to stockpile shit now anyways, except for water but the best most people are going to be able to do for that is to fill their bathtub up, and that's kinda shitty cuss then you have to take bath's out of the toilet.
Then for food, really the best thing you can do is buy a case or 2 of ramen noodles, which if you ate them all in a row you'd prolly die anyway. The way society is setup, if society falls, only a tiny handful can live off of the tiny amount of wild life in the forests. And when shit hits the fan everyone is going to hit those forests, aka wild life goes extinct and fucks everyone.
