Ich bin so in #Prepper-Stimmung. Hab wohl die letzte Zeit zu viel Film-Dystopie konsumiert… 🤪

A reminder: it’s flu season. Go buy waterproof mattress covers and put them on your mattress if you haven’t already. You’ll be less upset if someone vomits in bed and there’s a waterproof mattress cover underneath of the sheets. #prepper

Guys, I write about the future, specifically about future risks, headwinds and potential ‘black swan’ events. So if you’re an #investor or a #prepper or you’re just interested in one person’s opinion of what’s coming down the road, I’d be in your debt and very grateful if you’d check out my latest #Substack essay for Green Econometrics. Be forewarned, it’s long… about a 16 minute read, 3,700 or so words. Lots of links to supporting evidence, studies and authoritative opinion. Took three weeks to research and write. tl;dr The financial outlook is not a rosy as some think. #outlook #Finance #Risks #RiskAssessment #RiskReporting #Futures #GlobalEconomy #Economics #Econometrics #Economy https://open.substack.com/pub/greeneconometrics/p/caution-global-economic-risk-factors?r=3icfk&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Working on my #SHTF equipment - I have a proper RS232C port! And a CD-ROM and 1.44 Floppy drive! Hard disk still works; not sure if I could get a replacement or some kind of SSD. Plus I installed the last decent version of Windows! And Firefox v12. The legendary ThinkPad keyboard is incredible :) #RetroComputing #Prepper

About a year ago, the #8bitGuy made a video about his relatively low cost preparation for a #poweroutage using #solar, a #Solargenerator and other items. Much better than any #prepper videos on the topic I've seen since he goes thru pros and cons. This guy is in #texas and is into #retrocomputing and #retrogaming. Seems relevant especially now due to all the #disasters and problems such as the #heatdome which are leading to power outages last few years.

I think my most controversial #prepper opinion is you shouldn't #ruck you should #ultralight

Yes you should be prepared to carry a lot of weight for long distances, but if you have good cardio/running/long distance hiking training and do any amount of lifting. You'll be fine.

Build your bug out kit ultralight with a decently heavy duty pack and you'll have no problems.

SHTF is honestly unlikely, but permanent back and knee damage from prepping is VERY likely.
