The small town I live in has an annual collective budget for people to spend on community projects of various kinds. The yearly sum is 50k EUR in total but they usually choose 4-6 projects to implement so I thought why not ask here what people might come up with collapse wise. I gave two currencies because I converted the EUR amount to USD while accounting for change in purchasing power parity.

Now I know that it's not a whole lot of money and this town is and has always been traditional conservative bum fuck ville so they have no understanding whatsoever of energy, ecology, the human predicament or any of it. Still, if I had a really good idea for improving peoples' lives here I would suggest it.

Perhaps some people here have good ideas. I haven't given info on the town but I'm sure many of you know the type of place I described.

So this is the second year l've been hit by a hurricane that takes my power out. I have a whole house generator that gives me power. The problem is every time the power goes out the water goes out. I live in a community where I pay a low Hoa fee but there really isn't an Hoa where they have meetings and such. They just cut the bushes. I pay a flat rate for unlimited water usage. But when the power is out there's nothing I can do. Others in the community blame the pump, some blame the water plant. Is there some way I can get power to that? Is there some way to redirect water to me? Is there some contraption I can buy that I can fill with water ahead of time and take a hot shower? Or any other suggestions. The water company is WaterGA.com under water utility management

If you live in Helene's path I hope you and your family are doing well.

I would love to read your stories about the storm, how prepared you were and what it's like in your community in the aftermath, if that's something you want to share when you have the time.

Take care of yourselves out there

“We almost all die on Saturday” - Watch the YouTube video 😳 - Judge Napolitano interview with Scott Ritter

https://www.youtube.com/live/Ypk75F1jB0A?si=qlP7jlsK7KEMhqzF

The story from the video at 14:15:

The Biden administration almost gave Ukraine the green light to strike deep into Russia with long range missiles. Which would have caused a response from Russia to strike NATO, and would have inevitably start a nuclear war. Video claims “we almost all die on Saturday”. The US intelligence services stopped the Biden administration from destroying the world. Wtf 😳

Recently, science articles were published about how Mega El Niño were the cause of mass extinction events. Basically, the El Niño lasted for over ten years resulting in a major reduction in growth of trees and shrubs, leading to more CO2 in the atmosphere, looping back to reinforce the El Niño. During this time, land temperatures rose well above the heat tolerance of most creatures, leading to mass extinction.

So this raises all sorts of questions. My basic one is, how are you preparing for this possibility?

https://www.iflscience.com/mega-el-ninos-may-have-sparked-the-greatest-mass-extinction-event-in-earths-history-75954

Clearly, a good supply of SPF 50+ sunscreen is going to be a necessity. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2353582-the-ozone-layer-was-destroyed-during-earths-biggest-mass-extinction/

Sabine talks about the Hot Climate Model problem, making this Mega El Niño much more likely, and how dinosaurs forgot to back up their data to the cloud before the meteor hit ... so we'll never know what their climate looked like, what their pets looked like, where they liked to vacation, or what frozen confections they most enjoyed. https://youtu.be/4S9sDyooxf4?feature=shared

Right now I am not very well prepared in terms of survival or off-grid skills. But there are some ecovillages in my country where they grow food and produce their own energy with renewables. That said they are known by normal people in the area, so if the crap hits the fan a lot of people are going to go there. I'm not sure if they have prepared for security at all. Still, my survival chances might be higher there and I could learn some homsteading skills. Right now I live near a few potential nuclear targets if WW3 breaks out.

What are your thoughts?

What under the radar steps are you taking with your preps that would be pertinent during the collapse but do not stand out to your neighbors or society as odd. Things like starting a home garden that could be eventually scaled up or adding non- grid dependent security like solar flood lights.

Hello all! I work on a 28day rotation right now, I need some way to maintain my plants while I'm away so I come home to fresh leafy greens. Currently going the rout of soilless growing (aquaponics) but can't figure out a system that can be left alone for a month. What watering/feeding system do you recommend and how can I do this with potatoes?

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.
