    ECON Two Years Into Pandemic, Shoppers Are Still Hoarding - Wall Street Journal

    PREP Meet the collapsologists - France

    Yep, this is the Guardian, which locals joke as being "To the Left of Lenin" but they are still a "mainstream" paper - it is no surprise that the Guardian focuses on the more liberal members of this movement in France (and other European Countries) and as the West Coast there ARE liberal...

    PREP Packaged Food and Expiration/Best By etc. Dates

    I'm looking for input and anyone with experience with using certain food items past the expiry or best by dates. For one, I have some boxed chicken broths and soups dating back to 2013-2017. Has anyone actually used this stuff that far past the date? I'd be interested to hear if they might still...

    …… What Does Living Off The Grid Mean to You?

    Hi! I just got a contract to do a book for beginners about Living Off The Grid. When they first contacted me - it was more about sustainable living (preparedness, etc....) - now, the title has changed slightly. When I think "living off the grid" - I think about solar power, windmills, etc...

    HEALTH Health as a prepping concern

    I used to be very robust and healthy. I could work all day at whatever I wanted to do from clearing land, splitting logs, digging. I once spent an entire day lifting 150-200 lb railroad ties to my shoulder and moving them about 50 yards away. I wanted a pickup so I could haul things around...
