Here's What I've Been Reading and Thinking About This Week

 

This Week's Thoughts

This week I did something that was brand new for me. Video has never
really been my medium, but I was invited to take part in a documentary
series that sounded really interesting. It's called Endgame and it's
about the ongoing social decline in the United States.

I was told I'd have the opportunity to reach a lot of folks who are
non-preppers and help them learn a little more about what prepping is
all about. I think anything we can help new folks get better prepared
benefits us all.

So despite my absolute newby-ness at being on camera, I agreed to film
from the place I'm house-sitting here in Mexico. You can see that I even
brushed my hair for the occasion.

I always worry when engaging with the mainstream media. They often make
it seem like preppers are crazy. Of course, I have no idea what the
final edits will look like, but I was very impressed with the
intelligent questions asked by the host. He really wanted the
nitty-gritty and not in a "how do you filter your own pee and drink it"
kind of way. He wanted truly actionable advice and I really hope that I
was able to provide it. He set my nerves at ease right away and I felt
like we had a really productive conversation.

When the documentary is released I'll let you guys know and tell you
where to find it.

On a completely unrelated note, I've pretty much always hated seafood.
No fish, no "bugs of the sea", no squid - land creatures only, thank you
very much. Living on the coast has helped me to realize that at the very
least fresh fish is absolutely delicious.  I'm really glad to add this
to my food repertoire because the less picky you are, the easier time
you'll have of it at dinner when things are difficult and supplies are
short.

I included a photo of some fish tacos and the most adorable restaurant I
went to. I just love how Mexican architecture cobbles a whole bunch of
stuff together to make lovely structures. It's even nicer when you can
eat outside and enjoy a glorious sunset with your dinner.

 

MY FAVORITE ARTICLES OF THE WEEK

Hands down, the best article I've read this week on prepping comes from
Pete Orndoff, who wrote How to Start Prepping for SHTF with What You
Already Have

for the website Mind4Survival.com. Pete and I have been friends on
social media for quite some time now and this is the first article of
his that I've read. It is absolutely filled with common-sense advice on
how you don't have to go out and spend a fortune to be prepared and has
actionable suggestions on how to use things you probably have lying
around your house as survival gear.

On the other end of the spectrum, here's a fun video about some very
uncommon prepping supplies
, most of which I've never
seen on any list, anywhere.

The saddest thing I read this week was this story about India
.
I have a good friend whose family is personally affected by this tragic
turn of events and has lost a loved one as the Covid pandemic is utterly
devastating the country and overwhelming the medical system. The
question remains, why this wave is so incredibly deadly? Is it a
particularly virulent mutation? Is it related to the vaccinations? Is it
related to those not vaccinated? Nobody knows for sure but the country
is truly suffering.

What I'm Doing to Prep This Week

My time in Mexico is drawing to a close and it's bittersweet. I've loved
the almost-year I've spent living by the beach, soaking up the sun,
learning a new language, and making forever friends.

I'm spending my last bit of time here taking care of things that would
cost a whole lot more in the United States. I had some doctor's
appointments, a physical (haven't had one in YEARS), and a dentist
appointment coming up this week.

My dogs aren't due for their checkups and shots for a couple more
months, but I can get both of them taken care of for under $50 here so
I'm going to get their vet appointments done also.

I'm also getting a new windshield for my Jeep (an unfortunate incident
with a rock) and a few other repairs that would cost 4-5x as much
stateside. Unfortunately, I had some automotive trouble when I arrived
here. Fortunately, I met a fantastic mechanic I really trust. Having
worked in the automotive service industry for a decade, I know what a
treasure a great mechanic is.

I was also able to stock up on a few medications to save myself a trip
to the doctor for refills for the first little while when I am stateside
again. I'm sure I'll die of sticker shock when I get back.

While these may not sound extremely prepperly, I think the savings,
making certain my health is good, and getting any issues dealt with at a
bargain price is extremely worthwhile and will save me effort, money,
and stress.

Regardless of where you are, I strongly advise you to get any lingering
health issues looked at and get them treated. Things don't seem to be
getting any easier, and we need to be in good shape to face the
potentially tough times ahead.

the good things coming to harvest. And not only that - you can put
some of it back for winter, too. Through freezing, dehydrating, and
canning, you can get your fruits and veggies all year round from the
summer farmer's market or your own backyard.

Here's what my family eats and how we preserve it. This PDF book is only
