ts about just the reality of the situation, your fucked on multiple fronts, and no amount of raging against the dying of the light wins you the day, or even a reprieve, so yea I'm grieving, I was born at exactly the wrong moment to be able to prep for the coming storm.
I understand. Grieving will take time - sometimes people get stuck on one step, others speedrun the whole thing in a few weeks. It is profoundly dependent on the individual.
But I am telling you that it is not too late to prep for the coming storm.
I'm telling you that even if you set back a month or two worth of broad spectrum antibiotics, a case of yellow cake antibacterial Dial soap, a couple hundred gallons of potable water (waterbricks) and the means to make more, some basement beans and at least one rifle of military usefulness and some ammo, you will outlive about 90% of everyone else around you - that's how woefully unprepared people are.
It isn't about giant piles of Scrooge McDuck money, either. You don't need a swimming pool of gold coins or cases of dehydrated Bitcoin.
It is about what you are prepared to go without. Prioritize - See where you want to be, map out the steps backwards to your current position and work your way towards it. The "
Because Of" proactive stance instead of the "
and then this happened" reactive stance the clueless normies engage in.
I wore simple clothes (still do) - mostly Carhartt work clothes - till they were falling apart, then mended them myself, by hand, with needle and thread then wore them until they were little more than rags because I was diverting resources away from myself and towards family and other worthwhile things. When they fall apart, I cut them up with scissors into cotton patches for cleaning firearms. I don't own any iCrap. I don't have a car payment because I refuse to pay 40 grand for a new RAV4 and get soaked by bankster fuckhead jews.
Engaging in a stoic, ascetic lifestyle frees up a lot of resources you can use for the future and for others you love. Even if it is a simple GO bag and some water filters, you will still be better off than 80% of everyone else.
