If you see that trashed air conditioner on the curb GRAB IT. Its jammed with goodness. You can make a vacuum pump with it. You can make a 400 psi compressor with it. And there's even a second motor in there.
I'd have to disagree. That would be assuming you can get pellets. I'm building an outdoor wood burner, and stocking up like crazy this year. I would recommend everyone that doesn't have woods, find someone that does and offer to clear the dead/toppled over trees. Most property owners would love that.
Let's hope it doesn't get to this. In the event that it it does, or it seems if it is going to get to this point our city dwelling pedes need to see the signs and gtfo out of cities. Having an evacuation plan a few weeks before any normies see it coming would be the biggest survival multiplier. The cities and their immediate surroundings (within 30 or so miles) would be a very bad place to be. Start thinking about where you could go and what you will be able to transport to help bridge the gap between the chaos and reconstruction. It could be as short as a month or two, or it could be as long as years. If you have family or friends that live in a rural environment, it may be an ideal time to discuss the unstable times that we live in and the possibility that you may need to come help them. Whatever you do, don't show up empty handed, bring your supplies and be a contributing member. If you have significant means, buying a plot of rural land with a cabin on it or building a cabin on it would be fairly ideal, but you need to have some familiarity with the area and know where resources are located nearby. At this point, it may be too late to start building a cabin or rural home, so finding one available that is already in place would be more logical. Key point, learn who the neighbors are. Leaving a cesspool city won't be very helpful if you end up in a "Deliverance" type rural area. Just my two cents worth.

https://modernsurvivalonline.com/best-survival-apps I wouldn't advise installing 10 & 17, though.
Actually, that entire site is cool.
Shit won’t be hitting the fan. Trust what Q says.
I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
That is true. But my main point is don’t go bankrupt trying to prep is all
Fair point
I'm done with trust.
Why give up now when we’ve come so far
No no u misunderstood me patriot. Im done with trusting anything,
Fixing stuff, especially houses, and growing food are THE hot skills to have.
How can I do this without accidentally becoming a hoarder?
Just wait till 90% of the people are dead and there will be plenty of shit to collect. :)
If you use your stuff, rotate your foods, practice to see what you need you wont become a hoarder. You become a prepper.
