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

 

Guess what we're writing about this week? So many people asked about
medical kits that we're putting together an article on the supplies you
can get your hands on now. In the photo are my recent Amazon and Fish
Mox orders. Details are coming this week.

Also, what in the world is going on with the clothing in Target? Is that
dress HazMat Chic? Just horrible. Many parts of North Carolina have
returned to mandatory masking. I was in to pick up a prescription and
that little doozie caught my eye. (No, I didn't buy it.)

I was stunned this week by the hundreds of comments on my article about
discrimination against the unvaccinated. For the most part, the
discussion was civil, which was really nice. Clearly, this is a topic on
everyone's mind and the division is getting a lot sharper.

This is both worrisome and encouraging. I'm glad to see that so many
people are thinking for themselves and making decisions based on what
they believe is best for their situations - whichever direction that
decision goes. But the anger is palpable and I can't imagine that much
more time will go on until bad things begin happening. Violence, lines
being drawn, ties being cut. It's difficult to imagine a peaceful
resolution to something this incredibly divisive.

I hope you take a moment to spend some time in nature this weekend.
Downtime and stepping away from the news is more important than ever.

WHAT I'VE BEEN READING AND WATCHING THIS WEEK

 

Shortly after withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban
has been on the literal warpath, taking city after city, and is getting
closer to Kabul
,
where the American Embassy is.  Zero Hedge reported Friday that the
Embassy is at the "burn everything" stage
and
staff are destroying documents. President Biden has asked the Taliban
nicely

to spare the Embassy and the Americans there, so I'm sure it'll all be
just fine. This could easily turn into a Benghazi 2.0. Biden is sending
5000 American soldiers back

- but will they get there in time to evacuate the embassy?

A 7.2 earthquake - even bigger than the last one that devastated Haiti -
hit the island nation Saturday morning
.
300 have already been declared dead with that number expected to rise
dramatically. This follows an 8.1 in the Sandwich Islands yesterday and
a 7.2 in the Philippines earlier in the week.

The Western US is on fire. More than 21,000 firefighters are doing
everything they can to fight hundreds of thousands of acres of wildfires
.
The extremely dry winter has caused terrible conditions across the
entire Western United States and the "heat dome" isn't doing them any
favors either. I suspect this will be the worst wildfire season we've
ever seen and that this is only the beginning. I hope I'm wrong.

One of China's busiest ports has shut down due to Covid and I have deja
vu. This is how the shortages started in 2020 whether our government
wants to admit it or blame it on "hoarders." Ningbo-Zhoushan port -
the third-busiest port in the world - closed a crucial terminal
in
a move that is likely to cause shortages, delays, and high prices. I
wrote last week warning that another lockdown was coming
...is
it possible that it will coincide with shortages due to shipping that
they can blame on panic buying yet again? Huh. Anyway. Get your
supplies. Get your electronics. Get them now.

A couple of bloggers in the survival community to send your thoughts,
good vibes, and prayers to: 

Bernie Carr of ApartmentPrepper.com had a debilitating case of Covid.
She is home from the hospital but on oxygen constantly and has a long
road to recovery ahead of her. (Read more
.) She has a new book
if you'd like to support her during this difficult time. Find it here
.

Greg Ellifritz of ActiveResponseTraining.net is in the hospital with
Covid and double pneumonia. He is also on oxygen and is improving. He
hopes to go home within another week but will likely still be on
supplemental oxygen. You can support him on Patreon here.

What I Did to Prep This Week

You know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men. It's
also true of women. My daughter and I were planning to relocate our
storage unit food supply to our homes and restock our storage unit. A
bad allergic reaction pushed that to the side for this week. So instead,
I worked on my medical stockpile. I inventoried all the goodies I
brought back from Mexico, and then did some ordering.

I also took it a step further. I translated all the labels that were in
Spanish so others besides me will know what the products are, the
dosage, and what they're for. I also made lists to go with my fish
antibiotics so I'd know what antibiotic treats what specific
infection...in my fish of course. We can't have sick fish.

I really recommend learning off-label treatments too. For example, did
you know that the active ingredient in Benadryl is the same as the
active ingredient in Dramamine? The doses are different and Benadryl (or
the generic version) is a fraction of the price. Do your own research
and really spend some time learning about these things and you can
really expand your home medical care abilities.

I replaced batteries in all my diagnostic equipment and ordered extra
batteries.
