Surviving the Great Reset
I've been working on an article on the World Economic Forum's 'Great Reset' which is an attempt to collapse the current economy in order to then offer a 'solution' in the form of a high-tech, neo-feudal world government - with 'Carbon pricing' cast in the role of the late Caesar Diocletian's Edicts (on maximum prices), being the economic policies responsible for the last 'Dark Age'.
Historically, the only thing that has proven capable of bringing about a wholesale restructuring of a sophisticated economy, is war. Hence all the 'war footing' rhetoric around climate/ covid, the nauseating Churchill impressions and infringements of our civil rights heretofore unheard of in peace-times. Nuclear weapons have made war against another advanced nation very unlikely (see, M.A.D.); that said, expect to hear much rhetoric to the contrary, from our compromised 'Global Leaders'. For this reason, various 'crises' must instead be engineered and propagated into the public mind so that they can be politically exploited, in much of the same way as war historically has been.
I'm unsure when I'll get around to publishing, and so I've decided to post draft 'bits' of the final chapters on how to survive what's coming - for reasons I hope are self-evident at this point.
As some of you know, throughout my early-mid 20s I was an active part in a nation-wide resurgence of land-rights campaigns, using 'direct action' tactics like squatting land, to draw attention to the socially intolerable and economically inefficient concentrations of land in this country; whilst promoting low-impact, human-scale alternatives to the prevailing economic 'wisdom' of land, as a store of wealth - a legacy of the Norman conquest.
During this time I spent three British winters living outdoors in simple structures (benders, yurts) many of which we built ourselves. Back then, and over the decade that followed I spent much of my time studying wild foods and nutrition, it was more than just a hobby. I once attempted to live solely on what I could forage or otherwise 'acquire' ;) from the forest - I didn't last long. Surviving without the conveniences of modern life is a steep learning curve and one which many of you may be forced to climb over the coming years, as the controlled-demolition of the current economic model really starts to get underway. I heard someone say that 2020 was "like 9/11, every day" - but trust me when I say, you ain't seen nothing yet!
So when the lights go out, the taps/ pumps run dry and supermarket shelves are as barren as England's once fertile soils. What then? I mean, aside from the contrived 'solutions' the emerging World State will be oh-so keen to present us with, as if that wasn't the plan all along...
Well, I'll tell you what but first, here's the top three (natural) ways you're likely to perish in such a world.
Warmth (hypothermia can kill you cold, in around 3 hours)
Water (dehydration or water-born disease - around three days)
Food (three weeks before you're looking at irreparable damage)
Now, with those priorities firmly in your head - here are the things that might keep you alive...
WARMTH
Wearing woollen clothing rather than cotton/ nylon, may well save your life. Wool, unlike cotton, will keep you warm and even when it's wet. Cotton is not only a poor insulator, but the cooling effect caused by water rapidly evaporating from its fibres can and does kill. Honestly, I know it sounds silly but in a world without central heating our ancestors depended upon wool to keep themselves warm. Cotton or synthetic clothing, will not do the same.
Get a log burner. Depending on the National Grid to keep you alive, is not a good option these days! If you are unable to have a log burner where you live currently, consider stocking up on gas bottles as a temporary solution, to allow you to cook and keep warm for long enough to find an alternative; and realistically, when the grid goes down, no-one is going to care about you running a chimney out of your top-floor apartment window. Just make sure to get what you need to be self-sufficient, now! How are you going to stay warm without electric or gas? Have a plan. Prepare.
Fire-starters are essential, keep well stocked in a wide range. Have short, medium and long-term options.
Short term: disposable lighters; safety matches (last longer than strike-anywhere in my experience)
Medium term: petrol lights + flints + a jerrycan (or ten) of fuel
Long term: ferrocerium rods; flint/ steel; and finally bow drills (Ivy for the base, Buddleia for the shaft), char cotton cloth for an effective tinder.
WATER
We're very lucky in the Forest, likewise Wales has many springs that can be relied upon for drinking water. Look for signs of 'adaptation', large stones intentionally placed near the source is a good sign that the water has been used in the past. Of course, be wary of potential sources of contamination from either agricultural or industrial run-off, especially up-land from the source. Ceramic filters are inexpensive, the branded 'water dispensers' are not, buy ten filters rather than a 'dispenser' and rig-up an old demijon or plastic jerry-can to act as the filter housing. Filters clog, so stock up. Charcoal (wood burnt in a low-oxygen environ, i.e. in a metal tin with a tiny hole) filters heavy metals, nitrates, other chemicals.
FOOD
There is a word in the English language that is a bar against all hunger, a remedy for the worst depredations of poverty and a great leveller of inequality; it is by this word that soil and all life that walks upon it is nourished and sustained.
... and that word is: ruminant.
Ruminants are how you will survive long term, whilst avoiding futile efforts like trying to grow enough calories to survive without mechanised agriculture. Sorry veggies, but without coconut-oil colonialism, ruminants are the only thing that stand between you and certain starvation.
Our ancestral Forester's knew this all too well, which is why they were resolute in their defence of our ancient Commoning Rights, to graze sheep and other animals in the 'Forest Waste'. No matter how oppressive the economic/ political conditions of the day, with a few dozen sheep you can survive.
For the vast majority of our time on this planet (i.e. the 99.999% of our history before mass-transportation and industrial agriculture) human life in Northern climes has been entirely dependant upon the ability of ruminants (sheep, cows, deer) to convert grass (cellulose) into Omega-3 essential fatty acids, proteins and bioavailable vitamins and minerals. Nature will thrash your ideologically-driven dietary compulsions, every time. Do not fight it.
In terms of energy expended to digestible calories produced, sheep and cows are the most efficient source of food by orders of magnitude.
Metabolic history.
We are said to have been 'recognisable' bi-pedal hominids for some 2.7 - 3 million years, and throughout this time our diets consisted primarily of wild game, fish/ crustaceans along with some fruit in summer and nuts/ roots in autumn. You can think of the fruit and nuts as 'supplements', sugars that provide calories which your body preferentially burns, allowing you to store the more important fats (from game), in preparation for winter. Bearing in mind most of this time we've been in an Ice Age and so fruits and nuts were an occasional treat. Not a staple food. In terms of our calorific staple, i.e. the fuel that we use to power our bodies day-in, day-out - high-quality dietary fats are quite literally the only game in town.
Sugar/ carb based foods are rare in nature, that is why we didn't evolve an hormonal 'off-switch' (like ghrelin) to tell us when we've eaten enough sugar. For millions of years our bodies have evolved to rely on fats, specifically Omega-3's as our primary source of fuel. It's slow burning, and once you've adapted your body to efficiently metabolise and use Omega-3s as your primary calorific fuel, a single meal will provide you enough energy for 3 days of solid hiking. Carbs on the other hand are fast burning, low-energy density and that is why people must constantly snack to maintain blood-sugar levels.
Relying on easily available carbs is not a luxury you can afford, and adapting yourself to a ketogenic diet (burning fat for fuel) is arguably the most effective thing you can do to stay healthy now, and to prepare for the real world (without Govt subsidised, nutritionally inferior grain-based junk foods). There is no dietary requirement for carbohydrates - none. On the other hand, without a source of Omega-3 ESSENTIAL fatty acids, you will not survive long. Unless you're near the sea, ruminants are your only option for getting the necessary fats. Now...
