    As an avid camper, my YT suggestions are filled with “prepper” vids, and that’s really helped in planning everything out. I now keep a little vial of cyanide ready, because I am NOT dealing with those aholes.

    I downloaded a shit ton of technical, survival, medicinal, herbal, and even the DSM -5 (cause mental health is important too when everything around you is crumbling ) books.

    Why digital you ask ? Well, all these book aren’t available where i live and also because generating electricity isn’t a problem anymore with solar and it allow to create a lot of accurate copies of each book later to share with the survivors.

        Am not very knowledgeable about these kinds of stuff but isn’t the hardest part is to output a stable voltage. I don’t even know how and if you can store such fluctuating energy.

          I’m not sure… I’m not a magnetist… But I’ve seen them manually dial the stargate by wrapping some copper wire around it. So how hard can it be?

        • Idk if a stable output is necessary to charge a battery. They make flashlights and other small things with simple generators you power by shaking, which charges the battery that runs the light.

          I’ve never taken one apart to see what else is going on, but I’d sure like to.

          yea, they usually have a rectifier in it. All that is usually is a configuration of four diodes(a component that only lets current flow one direction) so it can take the alternating current(AC) and convert it to direct current(DC) and then a large capacitor to stabilize the rectified voltage.

            Am not really a prepper. The extreme tansion during the start of Ukraine invasion made me a bit paranoid about a third world war/nuclear war. Add to that that my niece was born not long after so i got even more paranoid and decided to see if it was possible to survive such events.

            Prepping can buy you some time but it’s useless unless you have a bunker hidden somewhere until dust settles down and the population has thinned itself enough you can go scavenging far less dangerously (geuss what the rich people are doing !) then knowledge about everything is gonna be key to survive longer.

            For us plebeians , it’s a gonna be a fight for survival and considering how it’s already a jungle where it’s eat or be eaten where i live the only way to survive would be by gathering into a large enough tribe, find a a secure location with only one entrance like a cave or something to settle in, never stop checking for intruders and becoming literal psychopathic monsters and kill, loot everything that approach your camp location .

            I don’t have much faith in humanity and the more i read about how humans treat(ed) each other’s the more i rather have a cyanide pill instead of surviving.

    My government is more functional than the US one it seems, So i’m in all the right to expect and demand that the state deals with it, it does have a lot of experience tough… chile’s topography is as dangerous as Australia’s flora and fauna, Chile indeed is natural disaster land.

      No, help is not required. I am safe, and you can trust me fellow human. There is no apocalypse happening below your nose. Your nose is too small to fit an apocalypse under. LOL. Human humor is humorous as I am one!

      ‘Fall’ is not used to describe autumn in most places outside the US.

      I just need someone to get me out of here. Their choice of interpretation on what that means (body/country/planet/era/other). (Note/medical thing: my body can’t/doesn’t really sweat, so a heat wave could easily kill me. )

      But other than that? It don’t matter, none of this matters.

      Yes, it’s always this ridiculous. It’s the polar opposite of Q level conspiracies except somehow democrats. The weird thing is you’d think they’d be cool with RFK Jr. but apparently he’s an antisemitic Nazi because vaccines or something.
