I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I don't know where else this should go. In short, my wife and I have land (40 acres, developed) in a reasonable location (edit: in the Pacific Northwest, you can dig in my post history, or just ask for more detail if you're legitimately interested) and have already taken significant steps in the past year and half to make this place collapse ready, mostly planting a lot of food bearing trees, but there is basically an endless amount of work that needs to be done to get this place ready to be adequate in the face of true societal collapse, and we can't do it alone. There are currently some other people living on the land, but none of them have a fire under their butt about this like we do. I'd like to find a small, cohesive team who want to put the work in to make this their home for the long-haul.

I've been hesitant to recruit over the internet, since there are a lot of important interpersonal factors needed to make this work, and those take a long time to assess. But while a lot of people in our real life are more-or-less collapse aware, we're not finding people who are serious about collapse prep.

We're emotionally stable, kind, warm-hearted, pragmatic people who know how to get along with others (long-term happy marriage, stable career). Culturally, we're generally on the left/hippy end of the spectrum, but not interested in culture war identities or fads. Very ecologically oriented in farm design. Family friendly. Not interested in working with anyone who has daily substance use of any kind (including alcohol or cannabis) as part of their lifestyle.

If you're interested, let me know, and we can discuss more about visions and arrangements.

What do we all do to practice accuracy and muscle memory?

I have only been able to get 20-30 minutes here and there because of family, and was wondering if anyone can offer suggestions that don't consume ammo?

I’m beginning to stock extra food/supplies and have a small garden growing in the backyard. I am wondering what I can do to prepare when I do not own the property I live on. I assume I will get pushed out eventually when I cannot afford rent. I’m feeling discouraged about any sort of prep because of an unstable housing situation. Does anyone have any advice? Should I work on my relationship with the landlord, start building out a van? Any suggestions appreciated.

Not to doxx myself but I’m considering making a move to somewhere in Virginia.

My cousin has some land near water that I could perhaps bug out to if I moved.

Maybe I could get a trades apprenticeship going and then buy some land myself. Then, buy some time as I try to move to Canada after that.

One consideration is that I’m mentally ill and need good services and this place is a small town. So make of that what you will.

Thanks for reading.

Hey there. As the title says, how hard do you get after it in preparation for the collapse. We probably all know that physical fitness means a lot in the event of a collapse, but how hard should you train? I've always considered the scenario when after hitting the gym or track and you're absolutely spent, an emergency strikes and since you're bushed, you cannot do much. The same way, if you don't train that hard, you won't be as prepared as you'd like.

Let me ask you, and this is subjective, how hard should you go? Unscientifically speaking, I would consider going at 60-80% of your max would do it for me, and leave some strength for when the real deal comes. Nothing's probably worse than having to run away from a disaster when you just destroyed your quads after a tough leg day.

I’m surrounded by the sea and sometimes it doesn’t rain for a few months. Any contraptions that I can buy to help with this problem?

I would like to slowly transition to solar panel, any idea which brand would last for collapse? If possible I would like to start small, maybe one independent setup just to power garden lights for example. I have tried buying one of those automated solar lights with light sensors which will turn on by itself at night, but from my experience those things really don't last very long, I specifically have problems with rusting and they get covered with dust and soil (maybe from the rain? not sure how it got there) really quick.

If you already have a working setup, a recommendation on brands or type of solar panel would be very helpful/

Does anyone have any experience with either using food dehydrators or freeze dryers ? Which of the two is any one using or would recommend ? Freeze dryers are 10x the cost of dehydrators but the investment may be worth it. Any comments or thoughts ? How is everyone preparing to store their post-apocolypse food long-term ?

I understand that being prepared for what's coming is king, but I still think there should be room to indulge in some of the frivolity while you still can. I just don't know where the line should be (though I assume that line will be in a different place for everyone)

Hey everyone, I'm on the lookout for a comprehensive list of articles or books that provide instructions for making antibiotics from scratch, along with guides for crafting alcohol, soap, water filter and other essential items. I'm eager to equip myself with a wide range of knowledge and basic survival skills to ensure preparedness for any situation. Any recommendations or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Currently based in the southwest US. I’m exploring relocating to a city in the Great Lakes region or somewhere in the Midwest, but I’d like to zero in on areas that are minimally affected by wildfire smoke. Does such a place exist or is that just an inevitable outcome of moving closer to Canada’s immense forests? Midwesterns: how was it coping with wildfire smoke in the summer of 2023?
