Body Armor for The End of The World, It's Not So Crazy Anymore

You’ve probably wondered about body armor, but you don’t want to admit it. What could possibly make you sound even more unhinged to your aloof, oblivious friends and family than to start talking about riot gear?

Solar Panels for Collapse, Are They Worth It? Here's an Honest Answer.

A few years ago, we installed solar panels on our roof. It was a nice little setup with a backup battery and everything. It was at the very limits of what we could afford, but it felt like something we needed to do sooner than later. You could call this a privilege. Then again, we did this

You Can Survive a Wildfire. Here's How.

A wildfire often feels like the ultimate form of doom, but you can prepare for these disasters just like the others. And prepare we should. Fires pose an immanent risk across the U.S. now thanks to our destabilizing weather, and California offers us a preview of the oncoming hell state as our climate crisis deepens. I know too many people who’ve lost everything. I know people who never thought they would ever face a wildfire… who ended up having to evacuate.

Can You Even Survive a Global Famine?

England just had its second-worst harvest on record. As far as I can tell, those records go back to the early 1800s. Wheat fell 21 percent. Barley fell 26 percent. Across the board, it was 15 percent. (The worst harvest happened in 1983.) Months of torrential rains wiped out crops. A new pattern has descended. The fall is too wet. The spring is too dry. The summer is too hot. That’s what a climate crisis does. It turns centuries of predictable weather patterns upside down.

How to Prepare for Water Shortages

There's an interesting section in Patrick Stewart's memoir where he talks about growing up in poverty in the 1940s. His family had bath night. They all bathed in the same water, once a week.
