A new zine!!! I'm back at writing a bit more and should start getting these out regularly again and even get caught up. I'm backdating these so there won't be missed months: for $10+ patrons, you will end up with a physical zine for every month you've subscribed. They might just come late or come in batches. Which means if you've subscribed recently it might take a little while for them to start making it out to you.But this is an essay I'm very proud of, that combines what i've learned by hosting Live Like the World is Dying with the weird philosophical shit I've been ruminating on in isolation. I hope you get something out of it!I've heard Amazon is cutting support for the .mobi format so I haven't converted this to .mobi. If you prefer to read these in mobi format comment or message me and I'll keep converting them!

hey enjoying your perspective on prepping. my mind took me down a similar path as I surveyed all my resources and effort and realized how short term cycle it all was after the gas stopped arriving for the saw and the bullets ran out. we’re preparing to rebuild community, not die alone with an empty rifle.

This is great! Much of your thinking reminded my of my city fire department training us regular folks in post-disaster survival skills with the idea that even if we can only take care of ourselves or our household, we are less work for them. If we can then also use the training to help our neighbors or city, even better. It’s an important perspective.

Yes, it's pretty cool—and it came from learned experience. So many people helped during our last major disaster that they realized it would be better and safer to have people trained and knowing what to look for. We learn everything from how to turn of gas to buildings to triage to ham radio use...I encourage everyone in my area to do this training. Plus, I mean, you get a hardhat and gloves!
