COVID showed us the fragility of our supply chain, when for a brief time toilet tissue became the currency of the realm. The Powers That Be are doing a masterful job of terrorizing the public and convincing them that only the Big Brother of our government can save them. The populace has grumbled about food prices and the fact that virtually everything we buy is ours for a short time before continuing its final journey to the landfill. As South Park pointed out in a recent episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcoGzT9QrTI) nobody knows how to fix stuff. Or grow stuff. Or do anything, really, that contributes to health and safety. When the collapse comes it will be like bankruptcy - first slowly, then suddenly. At that point everything is going to be very local. In one of your early posts you mentioned how you had canvassed your small community to discover who had skills, weapons, and materials that could be of use. Now is the time to start learning to grow things, to fix things, and to get to know your neighbors.
