Keeping Up Morale in the Fourth Turning
by Samantha Biggers

During this part of the cycle, many of us have experienced some fairly extreme isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Regardless of how serious you believe the disease is, the isolation, fear, and paranoia it has caused have led to some major consequences to the psyche and overall well-being of billions of people worldwide.

Preparing For Hurricane Season
by Samantha Biggers

Hurricane season is upon us. It is crucial to prepare ahead of time if you live in areas that are regularly affected. Remember that even if you live several hundred miles inland, you can still get some inclement weather or a surge in travelers that are seeking supplies or looking for a place to “ride out the storm.”

Preparing For A Post COVID Vaccine World
by Samantha Biggers

No matter if you decide to get the COVID vaccine or not, there is no doubt that the post-vaccine world is going to be different.

My husband and I were some of the people watching what was going on in China well before anything hit the mainstream news. As the situation continued to unfold, we started making sure we were prepared to stay at home for an extended time just in case. On January 31, 2020, I went into the grocery store, and I have not returned since.

A Hopeful Place

“I mean, what a badass!” one of my students shouted across the lecture hall.

A dozen or so others chuckled, then nodded their heads vigorously in agreement.

“Did they miss the point and think he meant something else by the phrase, ‘I’m a grass farmer’,” I wondered?

Over the years, my husband and I have grown hundreds of pounds of Shiitake mushrooms using logs from our woodlot. These mushrooms provide extra protein and nutrients to our diet as well as some medicinal benefits.

Responding to the Alert – Part II of Episode #010
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

My definition of an ALERT is when I encounter information that changes my actions.  I am now personally accelerating purchases, especially of mission-critical computer and other chip-based equipment.  I am now at a point where my farming needs and other household purchases are going to be accelerated based on the constellation of shortages that are now apparent.
