It Is Too Late To Prepare

There have been many prepping channels on ThemTube. Many prepping blogs. Many prepping how-to's.

Preparing for a SHTF situation.

Well, it is too late to prepare.

Not only is the end times (and the new beginning) already upon us, the whole idea of having enough stored away to ride it out until things go back to normal is faulty. It will be at least 50 years before there is something we would call normal.

The world is changing, we have to change and adapt with it. Having preps, having stored food, will be good, and helpful. But these are only to help get you across the worst times. We have to start thinking about, how will we feed our family and friends when there is no grocery store? We have to think about how we will have electricity when there is no electric grid.

We can no longer think about having a year's worth of food, and 50 gallons of diesel and a generator. What we are facing is not a "just need to survive" for a little while thing. This is going to be our new life.

Having preps is good

I am not saying that having a years worth of food stored up is bad. In fact, when grandma used grow a garden and can things for the winter, she had at least a years supply of food. Food really only grows once a year. Having food stored up will mean the difference in being okay during a storm or a riot, and being one of those rioters hoping to get some food before the store is cleaned out.

Having a generator and extra fuel is great, during any disaster. They are great for any short term break in power. However, you can't store enough fuel to power the generator for a decade. And the generator might not last that long either.

You really need a garden. Storing seeds is great, but they really do not feed you. We are waiting for societal collapse, and then we will plant a garden. But, now is the best time to start a garden. A garden does not produce as well its first year, as it does the next years. You need time to get the micro-biology growing in your garden beds. It is time to start getting fertilizers into the soil. The best place to store seeds is in a growing garden, where many more seeds will be produced with each crop.

Having preps is good, but do not kid yourself. This societal collapse, and all the other collapses, and the rebuilding, will take decades. So, be sure to have enough food to tide you over, but also start moving your life to a one where you are very self sufficient.

The War on Meat / You Will Eat Ze Bugz

We don't see the war on meat, they aren't out to ban meat (yet). But, if you listen, so many commercials and TV stories are about how eating meat is harmful to the environment. That going vegetarian is good for the planet.

There are also a lot of problems happening with meat processing plants, and cattle raising operations. It seems like one after another. This place blew up. That place decided to hire illegals, instead of citizens. Another burned down.

The prices for meat in supermarkets is much higher. Inflation is really hitting meat hard. And there seems to be less meat in the store than usual.

The mother WEFers have plans for you to stop eating meat. They want you weak and sick. So, it will be no meat for you, and eat your bugz.

So, knowing this, you will want to start growing your own meat, or making deals with people who grow animals to get a supply. T.H.E.Y. will not quit until they are stomped out of our existence. We don't have the choice of just waiting it out. To survive until the supermarkets come back. If we want meat in our future diets, then we are going to have to make it part of our plans to do it ourselves.

Further, Billy Gatez is planning to inject meat with mRNA VAXXX, so if you don't want that, you are really going to have to raise livestock yourself. (and maybe never let the meat out of your sight)

Things Are Changing

Everything is changing. All the bigs are collapsing. Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Banks… and Govern-cement are all going to fall into dust.

On top of this, we are entering an ice-age. With lots of earth changing natural disasters that go along with that.

Plus, we have a lot of pent up rage, all over the earth. And this will lead to border skirmishes and civil wars everywhere. The lines on the map will be completely changed.

If you see all of this coming, do you think your one years worth of food is going to carry you across this?

And these are just most of the big changes. There are more, like weather pattern changes. Social changes. Migration (of people) changes. Cities are going to crumble, or drown. Small communities are going to form everywhere.

We will see the rise of cryptos and the fall of fiat currency. Basically, how we live life is just going to change. All of it.

Being prepared for societal collapse was a neat exercise. However, the people that are really looking good right now are those who started homesteads.

We had this idea that societal collapse would be quick, and then things would get back to normal. But, they are being anything but quick. The dollar has been dying for a decade now. Home prices were way too high, and now they are even higher. That bubble should have popped.

We are really looking at 50 years, a half a century before things might be considered normal again.

So, it is too late to prepare (to just have preps). Now is the time to start making life changes.

Sort:  

The premise in the title of your post is false.

Prepping can be - and must be - undertaken even during cataclysm, because every day you survive requires preparation for the next day.

The most important preparation to undertake is to gain knowledge and skills, because catastrophic events can cause physical changes in the environment that make physical objects instantly disappear. Knowledge and skills enable starting from scratch, which can be necessary without notice.

As you point out in the post itself, stores are potentially of great utility, so it isn't useless to have tools and necessities prepared in advance of their unavailability during disruption, but are not panacea that can solve every potential disruption. While it is necessary to learn skills and gain understanding at all times, it always has been, and it is never too late to acquire useful things.

I could not more vehemently disagree that it is too late, or that it ever could be too late, to do so, as long as our lungs breath air and our heart pumps blood in our veins. It is too late to prepare when the light goes out in our eyes, not our home. The minute your home has vanished in a flood, earthquake, or bombing, it is time to begin to acquire the necessities you lack, and since that can happen at any moment in time for myriad unpredictable and ineffable reasons, it can never be too late to prepare to live on as long as life remains to us.

You are absolutely correct

What i was trying to go for was, it is to late to be a prepper, its time for full on homesteading. Or something like that, but none of the 2nd parts worked well, so i just went with the click baity first part.

Don't feel bad. I really fell flat with 'Dinosaur vs. Bird' too. Sometimes the idea sounds great, but we just don't execute it like we thought we would.

I don't think that very many people are going to be prepared for societal collapse. I am better-equipped than 90% of the people that I know and honestly, don't think I would last very long. Like I think you have mentioned before in previous posts, I think that phase one would be for me to get out of the metro area that I currently reside in. It's time to actually do it though instead of just talking about it.

Chris Martenson once said, "If i had known how good i would feel [homesteading] i would have run towards it, instead of dragging my feet"

I really do not know what will happen with society.
In America, it is going to be cities against rural America.

Can you imagine Anti-Fa getting all angry! "We are going out there and stomping those MAGA asses!" And then, after hours of driving, they reach a small town. And no matter what they do to the town, they will soon find out that each farm house is "turn off the paved road". They can't do anything. Maybe they would set some barns on fire. Or maybe they will all be shot.

But, what this leaves is a bunch of angry punks, stuck in a city, with no real enemy to fight. The poor city.

So, leaving the city, unless it is a majority red city, is a very good thing to do.
Take your cryptos, as they skyrocket this bull run, and go buy yourself a nice place. You may even be able to retire.

It makes sense to really have a hard look at how long we would last. It's really going to come down to what event takes place and we would make it fairly far but there are deficiencies in our setup and I would say the main choke points would be not having Starlink and not having solar panels. That would extend our existence out a lot further with some level of contact and comfort under the premise that the rivers weren't immediately toxic and that even the Starlink system goes down. Even if we got past the generators and Fuel. Let's say we made it 2 years we could still fish and hunt and grow food.

Yes, but start off with fishing and hunting and growing.

Especially if you have a pond on your property stocked with fish.

The preps are great, but there isn't one, short, event that we will have to make it through.
The FDA is out to poison you. You must outlast the FDA.
