Did you do anything to prepare for collapse this week? It can be anything from reading an interesting article to installing a greywater recycling system in your house. No project is too big or too small.

This thread is here to inspire others to take actions they may not have otherwise thought about doing.

If you’re interested in leaving observations of collapse in your area then I encourage you to head over to r/collapse where they have a weekly thread for this very thing.

For the sake of the conversation, lets assume that food, water, housing, and transportation are all taken care of. What smaller things would you recommend a newbie pick up?

In the post collapse, you can't go to the store and buy food, you have to grow it. In the winter, it will be very difficult to grow crops where I am. I know you can use greenhouses, but eventually it will stop working, meaning you have to rely on something else. Any ideas on what to do in this scenario? In case location matters, it is upper peninsula.

TLDR I was a chemical engineer in oil and gas, worked in finance for climate tech start ups for a few years and have decided to pivot (again haha). I have a vague idea instead of preventing collapse I want to study something that will help people if collapse actually happens. Ideas are something in agriculture (permaculture?) or water treatment? Or is there anything else anyone could suggest for someone who likes technical fields?

If one were in the market for a truck, which would be the better choice of fuel? Thinking long-term, would bio-diesel be an option if gas runs out? I know there’s a big price difference, but curious which one would stand the test of time as collapse prep…

I'm in a flood prone area but I live higher up, I need a small craft (doesn't need to be registered) that I can carry by myself.

I'm debating a small inflatable tender with an electric trolling motor.

Earlier this year we hit the point of 12 consecutive months at 1.5 degrees of warming, something that was barely covered by the media.

So i'm curious, how have things changed where you live since February 2023? Have you changed what you're prepping in response to the changing evironment or has it been going as was predicted?

For the sake of others reading this please state what country you're in and what region/state you're in if it's a big country.

Certain foods only grow certain parts of the year. In winter, it is harder to grow most foods. The only way I can think of to make it last a long time is canning, but it isn't feasible to have enough cans to last a lifetime for a lot of people due to how much room it would take up. Are there any other methods?

Is anyone else affiliated with healthcare or noticing the changes happening in healthcare? I have worked in healthcare for the last 4 years, a rookie at best, and am noticing a large, looming concern at least in North Carolina, United States. Our rural healthcare facilities, hospitals in specific, are choosing not to employee or create opportunities for employment for specialists. We are instead solely operating as critical care access facilities, with all specialists saved for the big cities. We are becoming ER hospitals only with maybe some wound care and outpatient offerings. Nursing homes are being overran with swingbeds and permanent residents. Most nursing homes are operating at max capacity with very little staff. Any patient who comes into an ER is almost automatically being shipped out for any and all cause due to no beds on Medsurg, and no surgical capabilities. There was a quiet meeting that happened about 2 months prior in Tennessee I believe, where some of the heads of EMS got together and talked about how they were running out of medics. This, is something we are watching in real time in rural North Carolina as well. In the next 5 years we have a mass exodus of EMS leaving due to getting their nursing license, retirement or just walking away from the field. This is obviously a very dire situation we are facing. No inpatient beds within 2 hours of home, no transport back, lack of income for residents, no specialists, dwindling EMS, lack of specialists in general, nursing homes at max capacity. Are any other states seeing this? If you are in the medical field, what are you noticing your service/hospital preparing for?

I have epilepsy. The first thing that comes to mind is stock up on medications, but even if I buy enough to last a lifetime they will eventually stop working completely. The only thing I can think of is go the natural medicine route. I obviously shouldn't use any firearms unless I am 100% positive my seizures are under control, but what other things should I do to not die?

Edit: Here are my plans so far

1. Get extra sleep

2. Do aerobic exercise

3. Take herbs that calm you down

4. Meditate

5. Do deep breathing

6. Do anything else to reduce stress that I can think of (this can help seizures)

7. Try cannibis

8. Attempt the keto diet, but it will be difficult since you can't just go to the store and buy the food

9. Avoid stimulants like caffeine and alcohol (although I already do that since they can lead to seizures)

10. Don't do anything dangerous (climbing trees, swimming, etc.) without direct supervision from someone trained to deal with my type of epilepsy

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.
