One of the big questions out there in the prepper space is actually one that doesn’t get enough attention, and that is building community. It’s a critical thing, but it usually seems pretty hard to make those kinds of friendships and build such relationships with other preppers. And trying to talk to your existing friends […]

A new trend is emerging in the shared “5th dimensional warfare” space we call society these days. Organizations, interest-groups, and even some individuals have begun to weaponize the label “AI-generated” as a way to dismiss or ignore content they disagree with or find challenging. They aren’t using such content themselves. No, this is a new
The weaponization of AI-generated content has reached a whole new level. Read More »

I have always held a few unpopular opinions in life, and while I often find many of them to be backed up by real science and facts, most of them I have come to as a result of my own personal experience in life. The one I will talk about today is one of those

This article is not intended to address the potential for “strategic” nuclear war between Russia and any other party. That is a different subject entirely, and something for further examination elsewhere. What I want to discuss today is the most important ways in which the Russian military and political view of limited nuclear warfare differs greatly from that of its western counterparts.
It seems to be a growing element within western society to forget the lessons learned in the past with regards to military doctrines in general, and nuclear warfare in specific. Granted, those of us who grew up during the cold war with the Soviet Union all remember being intimately familiar with many aspects of warfare and military doctrine. It was part of our cultural identity at the time, and 80s kids used to be able to rattle off the real-world stats of various jet fighters and tanks like little walking Jane’s manuals.
Today, that has changed. The recent generations haven’t really had much to do with a proper nation-state versus nation-state war since the Vietnam War. Iraq, Afghanistan and the like do serve as some examples, but more for the idea of restrained warfare as opposed to actual “all-out” war between so-called “great Powers.”. The world just hasn’t seen much of that since World War Two, and so people have grown up ignorant of the truth of military history, strategy, and technology, especially as they relate to national doctrines.
And that is a problem, because such misunderstanding results in opinions and positions being held wildly that are so far off the mark of reality as to be dangerous.

You don’t necessarily need to follow a specific rucking training plan in order to be successful. Really, what you need to do is get a clear understanding of the activity and how it relates to both fitness and preparedness, and learn a bit about the fundamentals. From there, you can design your own program for success. And by success I’m not talking about looking cool and sleek for summer on the beach, I’m talking about enjoying this activity to the maximum while reaping all the benefits that can prepare you for life in a post-collapse future.

Mental health is something that usually falls by the wayside until things start to go sideways. Once a crisis comes into your life, that is when suddenly your emotional state becomes of major importance. It’s pretty obvious that stressful situations can leave people feeling anxious, fearful, and even depressed. The pressures of everyday life, combined with the more harmful aspects of modern society, such as social media, complex jobs and personal debt are enough to create anxiety in even the strongest people.
Toss in the idea of facing the collapse of civilization, and we are talking real stress on one’s mind, and body as well.
Whether it is climate change that concerns you the most, the potential for nuclear war seemingly at any minute, or even just garden variety economic or political upheaval, collapse comes for us all, and it starts early, working to negatively affect your mental state and emotional health. A big part of being prepared to face the coming challenges of collapse is to have a clear head, unburdened by excessive stress and worry.
How in the hell are you supposed to manage that, with all the craziness going on now, in these early stages of collapse? I know it seems like an insurmountable challenge, but the answer might just be simpler than you expect.
