Tumultuous times breed fear and revolutionary thoughts.

I’m going to post and sometimes lecture on methods to survive the coming events that may require major lifestyle adjustments.

Natural disasters, a civil war, WW3 or Economic collapse — All precipitate economic adjustment. No one will be immune or exempt if the world economy takes a turn for the worse. I’m not an economist — just an old guy who has paid attention and learned to spot warning signs. If you concur, keep reading. Maybe an idea will help you in the future. If you consider survival and prepping as a fools fear, stop reading. Go back to your hi-rise condo and chill…

I’ll not bore you with my history but occasionally I need to tell you an experience or two. I’ve been a half-assed prepper since I worked on Henline look-out in the Oregon Cascades just after high school. I’m not an authority but I damned sure know what I’m talking about.

THE FIRST LESSON — LESS IS MORE.

Program your lifestyle for long term survival. Look to your ultimate destination for survival. If anything gets in your way — get rid of it.

SURVIVE BY STEALTH!

Scale back your aspirations — you can’t save everybody. Realize it’s only you, your family and close friends that are important. Make them part of your team. Program your mind to be realistic — Survivalists are targets of opportunity. Don’t let society know your thoughts or goals.

FREEDOM IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY — not others. If you have debt or a significant other who is not on board with your plans, it’s time to unload. Do not wait — obtain your freedom or nothing you plan will come to fruition.

In reality, your needs are simple. Don’t complicate your life with swag.

Deep inside this blog are articles about numerous off-grid subjects. Poke your nose into my history. Most articles were written when I lived in Panama. Now, I’m in the Philippines. See a common thread? It’s called tropical climate. A growing season = 365 days. More than enough water — no need for winter heat. Tropical fruits and vegetables are abundant. I can go on and on about prepping in the tropics. However, most of what I post are ideas that anyone can do — anywhere.
