    Farming, carpentry, food preservation. You should be surrounding yourself with people you trust. And living in a community of people who will help you. You are never going to survive for months or years like Norman Reeddus in some post-apocalyptique fantasy world. Social collapse isn't some event where all society disappears overnight like you see in movies. It's a long slow decline over years or centuries. On the off chance you know something about history, think of our current situation as the Crisis of the 3rd Century. The Roman Empire lasted for over 1000 years after that happened.

      We have seen several examples in the past 100 years alone. The absolute state of PrepHole preparedness...

      look into David John Kilcullen(Out of the Moutains) and Stephen Graham (Cities Under Siege) You will not be 100 inna woods. You will need to reenter into citys. This is far more dangerous than camping for a month or two while hunting small game. Boredom will frick you up worse than anything else.

        imagine getting bored outside
        you want to know the secret anon?
        boredom is actually having no distractions from your inner turmoil. your inner sadness, some bad feeling inside that you are running from.
        do some personal development, get some insights about yourself, read/watch some stefan molyneux or jordan peterson, when you start to overcome your inner sorrow, two things will happen; you will stop being bored ever, and the-powers-that-be will not be able to control you without direct force.

        If you are really not larping:
        get a house as passive as possible, very insulated, be as independent as possible ie don't buy shit you cannot fix or are reliable, have a big pantry and get long time shelve food in there, if you have a farm start looking into putting some fruit trees as they will take years until they are productive (better if are the kind that you can plant vegetables or grain bellow it), stcok seeds for your farm, prepare low tech irrigation systems for said farm, try to get solar or whatever but keep it as simple as possible, both to have less possible problems but also too look less prepared, a 7kw solar installation will catch attention which a 750w one would probably not.
        Think also for transportation how can you move and how independent you will be if the petrol supply chain breaks, transportation uses a ton of energy
        Be part of your community, try to be helpful and have their back, but usually is not a good idea to reveal all the preparations you are doing, just say that you are trying to save money buy bulk foods and getting solar or whatever

        check the last primitive technology videos, he makes a water filter https://youtu.be/nG-rNHgFxhs
        which is based on this research, basically using fresh wood as a filter, based on the natural circulation of the wood.

      the government just went completely totalitarian over a manufactured plague, destroying many livelihoods and leaving supermarket shelves empty. your cities are being burned down and we are on the brink of WW3, and it might not be between europe and russia, it might be between america and china because america just cut off china from major parts of the semi-conductor market in taiwan (that's "micro chips" in laymans terms, only they aren't micro now, they are nano) those chips control their military equipment. china could try to take taiwan, but taiwan is allied with america.

    lots of good advice in this thread but one thing I never see anyone say to stockpile: boots in your size. they will wear out, they will get destroyed, then you have to find new boots in the apocalypse. I get about 2 years out of any pair of boots. stockpile good quality boots that fit you and innersoles. test all of them. you don't want to put a new pair of boots on for the first time only to find that after 5 miles they start to fall apart and give you blisers, wear them on a few hikes, make sure they are good, then clean them, make sure they are dry, and add them to the stockpile.

      basically this

      stockpile clothing and shoes
      clothing can easily become too big if you're already a lardboy and lose some weight
      shoes otherwise should fit you all your life 😀

      also i would consider getting a bidet or a shower with a spray hose to wash your ass off
      and some soap to not stink and attract people or scare animals
      salt to preserve EVERYTHING
      wax for canning and squeaky shit (and candles)
      paper and pencils / pens for drawing, writing down ideas, diary etc etc

      just stockpile shit that wont keep you bored 😀

          never understood 'preppers' who let you know they are preppers.
          seems like if someone knows you are a prepper, you've already fricked up.
          example:
          that dumb discovery channel show about preppers
          >guy has a fricking underground vault installed in his suburban backyard.
          >family runs drills practicing evacuating the house in god damn hazmat bunny suits
          >neighbors seeing all of this happening
          guess which house is going to be ransacked first? or suddenly the entire neighborhood is there to appropriate your bunker?

          No amount of 'prepping' you can actually do will ever be enough, given enough time. All you can do really is increase the chances of survival by lengths of time and hope society unfricks itself or settles down before that time expires. Far enough north to avoid people, good luck when you run out of diesel fuel, bar oil, or any of the consumables needed for 'offgrid' living. Farther south, it'd be an unending swarm of locust-like refugees denuding the landscape and eating anything that moves. Comfy holler surrounded by like-minded family/friends/neighbors? You'd last the longest, but eventually machinery breaks and aforementioned consumables run out. Best case scenario is living in the 19th century until the hordes win out.
          Hungry people don't stay still.

          i know this is an unpopular opinion here; mainly because it goes against the weird LARP obsession that devolves into theorycraft about how rugged and self sufficient we all think we are. But the tendency is to focus on immediate needs without any thought at at all the longer term. How much can you do to hedge your chances of survival with nothing but hand-tools and no replacement parts (that you can't craft yourself without electricity) -- that's the calculus.

        Good to do but not really that important. Inflation actually bennifits the indebted. And we have plenty of that.
        I would stock a large rotating pantry of foodstuffs before I ever worried about paying the principal off on a large credit card debt. There may come a time very shortly where you should go into debt to get that pantry.
        If you do that and start cooking all your meals at home and never eat out–you'll find yourself having far more money to manage debt.
        Also, if you can get a reasonable loan on a home and parcel of land in a rural area, do that shit. Obviously, you should be able to make payments on it with your income. And have enough liquid to make a few payments incase you temporarily lose employment due to a personal crisis

        Debtors will be dead or in concentration camps before the collapse. You cannot prep if you are in debt. You must be a free human first and that is impossible if you are financially beholden.

          I personally don't have any debt and manage the extremely little quantity of money I have well. My family is full of old,fat morons which constantly make financial mistakes. I was birthed because my parents lost a bet with the rest of my family so they were the ones which had to provide a care taker for the family when they reach old age. They made me when they were in their 50s.
          I am also unvaxxed nor tested even. Only one of my conservacuck uncles is injected three,the rest are injected four times.

    >prioritize
    1. Know your area. Understand what resources you will be working with.
    2. Flint knapping. If you can't make hard, sharp edges you're toast. Absolutely essential.
    3. Cord. Pretty simple skill to pick up and the precursor to many other utilities.
    4. Fire kit. You can use the cord you make for a bow drill which will make your life much easier as you will be starting campfires often.
    5. Snares, traps, nets. Squirrels and fish are much easier to come by and process than big game. You will have to hunt at times but trapping is more reliable and less burdensome.
    6. Basket weaving. You'll want to keep the various goods you forage for in separate containers.
    7. Improvising shelters. You could probably throw something together without giving it a great deal of thought but the more you know about bush architecture the comfier your camps will be.
    8. Pine tar adhesive. Once you have this in your repertoire you will be able to seal your baskets and make them watertight, among many other useful applications.
    9. Processing hides. You won't be able to do top-quality leatherwork but you should be able to do well enough to clothe yourself and perhaps make a nice tent if you feel like hauling one around.
    10. Everything else. Bushcraft is an extensive subject and if you have time before the collapse anything more you can pick up will contribute to your advantage. Good luck, Anon.

      yeah maybe 20 years after the collapse, in the POST-apocalyptic world. but not to survive the actual collapse, the actual apocalypse.
      Lets say anon has to go OUT out, for whatever reason, has to be away from the remains of society for a WHILE. lets say he can walk 10 miles a day, and can't bring shit with him- even 10 or 20 miles outside a town/city, even out in barren places, i find fabric and old clothes all the time.
      clothes will be so abundant that stocking them or tanning hides to make clothes is a waste of time, energy and resources.
      any leather will be much better spent making equipment like pouches & knife sheaths.
      also a leather TENT!? i see you have taken the ultra-heavy pill lmfao
      the rest: pretty useful if you find yourself out with no preparations. bushcraft skills are things we should all have, but don't make it difficult for yourself, seriously just pocket a lighter ALL the time.

    oh here's one everyone fricking forgets:
    Light.
    if things get really bad you will have no electricity or gas. prep light sources. might be worth figuring out if you can buy candles in bulk and if that's cheaper than stocking up lamp oil and storm lanterns.
    for the short term: batteries and LED torches/headlamps, but those batteries run out fast and often do not store for long periods. they will literally run out, in storage, doing nothing.

    Good contacts to trustworthy people from your community, country and around the world.
    First aid knowledge.
    Knowledge of your surroundings, how to reach important points (friends, towns) without maps.
    Knowledge of wild plants to use or to avoid.
    Vaccinations, all memes aside.
    How to start and extinguish a fire.
    Build up tolerance to cold and bug bites.
    Basic strenght and stamina (climbing a tree or wall, long hikes)
    A good amount of body fat.

    All things you prep and put together are worth shit when you have to move an can't take them with you or loose them. Skills and your body stay.
    Enough stuff to live comfortably for a few months and a good bug out bag is great and you should have that for comfy low level happenings or a personal collapse but if you really want to 'be prepared' you should expect life as a refugee with nothing.

    I have been meaning to type this up for a while now, here you go. Part 1/2

    Anons general prepping roadmap

    The most likely problem you're face is financial hardship. Dave Ramsey is a dick but his general plan is good. First get your income up, you should be making well over the median in your area. If you're not you need a new job. Avoid consumer debt, save a 3-6 month emergency fund or 20,000 in cash, whatever is higher. Payoff all debt but your house, then start savings at minimum 30% of your income into investments. Also save a down payment and buy a house on a 15 year fixed rate if you plan to stay in the same area. You should be 100% debt free including owned property before retirement. 30% is enough to get you to retirement in 25 years from the start date.

    The next most likely problem you'll have is health related. Get in shape. Join a gym of if money is tight start doing something you enjoy even if its just walking and some pushups. Join a club sport in your area. Do something to lose the weight and get healthy.

    Address basic needs, thats food, water, water purification, shelter and heat for 3 days with no outside help like power and water.

    You should already own weather appropriate clothes and some blankets. If not get some real winter gear, a tent, and a sleeping bag.
    0. Self defense pistol. Get a 9mm glock and 4 mags, order 1000 rounds of ammo because you need to practice. 1200 dollars total.
    1. First aid kit, adventure medical is good.
    2. Water purifier, katadyn, MSR and berkey are nice brands. Get a hiking filter life straws are one time use bullshit.
    4. Decent flashlight, headlamp, knife, and multitool. Look at spyderco and leatherman.

      2/2
      4. 72 hours of shelf stable (freeze dried) food for each person, at least 5000 calories per person total.
      5. 3 gallons per person of water. 5 gallon cans are good and pretty easy to store.
      7. Get a camp fuel and 7 days worth of fuel. That will be about a 6 pack of small propane bottles, walmart sells the 1lb 2 packs.
      8. Misc repair items. Duct tape, tarps, cordage, plywood and 3 inch deck screws with an electric drill solves a lot of shitty situations like a broken window from a storm.
      9. Solar generator like the jackery 500 or 1000. This will let you keep your electronics charged. Add a 100 or 200 watt solar panels when you get a chance

      Everything on the list other than a gun and solar battery is under 1000 dollars. With the battery bank you're now better prepared than 95% percent of americans.

      Next steps
      1. Establish a long term heating solution
      2. Stock food you eat, like an extra jar of peanut butter and pop tarts
      3. Address long term water solutions, that might be another purifier and creek, or rain catch system.
      4. Store long term food, rice and beans in mylar oxygen sealed bags will last 30 years and provide cheap bulk calories.
      5. Get a battle rifle, 5 mags and 1000 rounds of ammo. Look at AR15s and AK47s. Get a shotgun and a .22 lr for game. Train with them.
      6. Take classes. Fire making. Cooking. First aid.
      7. Get reference materials. When there is no doctor and the encyclopedia of country living are a good start.

      2010 era cookie cutter shit. But it's got the right proto idea.
      No mention of preservation. No mention of land. Pittance of food. No mention of training with the firearms instead. No vehicle. This is from the old bug out bag and an apartment era of early prepper shit. You know its's bad list when boots/socks don't even get a mention.
      If you don't have well 10 days of meals for yourself and 3 other people by default you're either poor or student tier.

      TLDR Build a community and get that community to build up each other. Anything else is suceptable to being fricked over by plain old oganised gangs and fire in the first days. Fire is a gurantee.

          You're right, but it's cut and paste advice from the Become a refugee era of bug out bags and UCP digital surp. Community comes first or you're just moving your problem somewhere less viable and that you don't have the same experience with. The whole point of preperation is prevention rather than cure.
          The OC can be found on the FEMA advice for disaster relief. What's good are scenario specific lessons learned or good documentation of extrapolation for without rule of law scenarios.
          I don't think argentina $ meltdown reflects the USA's clusterfrick of going grid down for 2 months for example. I didn't mean to disrupt you advice but challange is there to help you think so you can go, Hey here is why I think this, and this is a good example of why this is a good starter, here are some examples of short term things that could have been averted if only they had the bare minimum. Then comes the whole stuff vs skills thing.
          There was a relatively okay nat geo pair of documentaries which although considered, were moronic in parts. There was a UK one and a USA one. Both frustrating to watch but good food for thought.
          I could only find the UK one, which is exactly what you would think it is. A lot of "Soirry canI help you?" and NORF FC type shit. It's hilarious how indept the guy is. Give it a go maybe it will give you some inspo.

    I got one for PrepHole. I moved to tennessee and for everything I hear about how much empty woodlands there is in the south, I can't find frickin proof of that at all on a map. If I wanna bug out inna woods, civilization or homesteads are pretty much fricking everywhere. The frick am I supposed to go hide?
