Prepper Ping - What ? Another crisis ? Welcome to a dystopian world
Food shortages, fuel shortages, ongoing supply chain breakdowns... What's next ?
Is it time to change your paradigm, and overcome complacency and normalcy bias ?

During the current Colonial pipeline shutdown and outage, we have to deal with the complexities of everyday life :
" Meanwhile, Michigan Governor Whitmer is attempting to close another pipeline that serves Northern states,
demonstrating that pipeline shutdowns are part of an engineered collapse of America’s industrial infrastructure."

"If this deliberate shutdown plan continues, many people will face famine this summer as America plunges into chaos and desperation.
It’s all by design, of course, as the radical Marxists who stole the election are working their way through a checklist to destroy America from within.

"As I discuss in today’s Situation Update podcast — which has a particularly doomsday ring to it — after experiencing the supply line shortages of 2020,
anyone who isn’t yet a prepper in 2021 is essentially committing themselves to death.
I ask the question, “How can everyone NOT be a prepper in 2021 after living through 2020?”

"Yet, amazingly, the oblivious masses have zero preparedness and still think, “things will all go back to normal” real soon now,
as soon as the vaccines save everybody."

(My Comment): Think about it, you know, the situation that we are currently experiencing with shortages and outages, and supply chain breakdowns.
What can you do for yourself and your family ?
Think about it now, logically; don't wait for the crisis to happen and then be forced to respond emotionally.
Overcome your natural "normalcy bias" and imagine possibilities, or probabilities.
Work out a scenario in your mind enough to think about how you would react in a sudden given situation.

OODA Loop : (Overcoming Normalcy Bias through a 4-step decision-making process ) :
(#1) Observe,
(#2) Orient,
(#3) Decide,
(#4) Act.

Don’t need a doomsday prophet to tell me things are getting weirder by the day.

I’m planting more staples like potatoes and wheat this year. Aiming for a bigger bean patch, but that hinges on having the equipment to harvest with this time. Last year’s bean patch was big enough I couldn’t handle it all. I think I still have 2-3 bushels of dry bean plants waiting to be threshed.

I’m still eating last year’s squash. The butternuts are looking dull, but still solid. The shark fin squash look as fresh as the day I picked them. I’m starting to think their shelf life wasn’t exaggerated! Definitely a good one for survival gardens.

Last year was the first time my family didn’t look down on me for my gardening and self-reliance obsessions. My chickens kept the whole family supplied with eggs. Even my stash of canning lids was appreciated.

Like I said. Weird.
