Current next steps

[Scythe13]

At the moment there is so much going on in the world, it makes it difficult to know what needs to be done next.

There is loads going on with the war and all that. There is a lot of talk about food shortages, fuel shortages, nuclear war and the rest. Some people are getting very worried about a financial crisis. Basically everything is very much piled up and crazy hu?

But what should you do next?

We've all seen the food shortages at the start of the pandemic. We all saw the huge queues at the bank with the Northern Rock collapse back in the 2007-2009 financial collapse. We all remember the flooding, freezing and blazing heat from 2010 to now. So what happens next?
What can a person do?

1. Panic.
Granted this is not exactly helpful, bit is most likely. Which is exactly why people bought all the toilet paper and emptied cash mashines. However, there are better options.

2. Start to prepare.
Granted it's an overwhelming option and it's difficult to know where to start. I'd suggest looking at the main site and going from there.

3. For those prepping, prep harder...the clock is ticking.
You should be aiming to spend approximately £5-£10 minimum a month, if not a week, extra on food storage and water. Get your fitness up as soon as possible. Get practicing skills. Not necessarily learning brand new ones, but practicing those that will be quickly critical in the early days of a SHTF situation.

There are those who prep for fun, like a hobby or escapism. That's cool. Enjoy it. There are those who prep as a way of life. There are those who think they prep, but don't realise the reality of what a grid down situation is like.

So, I put out a challenge for anyone reading this, for the bank holiday weekend, turn off the stopcock, unplug all your fuses, leave your wallet in a draw, keep your cupboards closed and only live off what you grow, hunt/trap and the alike. Day 1 will be easy. Day 2 will be a bit more boring. Day 3 you'll be really looking forward to the lights and power coming back on. But what if there was no Day 4? Just day 3 again and again?

Make sure your fridge and freezers have power, but for the rest, do it and see that life will be like AT IT'S BEST come an EOTWAWKI situation.
