@mike805 @ThatWouldBeTelling Sorry, I missed this thread somehow. That's really useful information you two mentioned. 🙌 I really appreciate the insights you both mentioned. All my life I've been an urbanite, living mostly in cities not prone to natural disasters... I am afraid to say I know nothing much about living without electricity, being too reliant on mod cons. I will definitely read into ham radio, getting a shortwave radio for my emergency #bugout bag.

DW Documentary | InvidiousDrones, hackers and mercenaries - The future of war | DW DocumentaryA shadow war is a war that, officially, does not exist. As mercenaries, hackers and drones take over the role armies once played, shadow wars are on the rise. States are evading their responsibilities and driving the privatization of violence. War in the grey-zone is a booming business: Mercenaries and digital weaponry regularly carry out attacks, while those giving orders remain in the shadows. Despite its superior army, the U.S. exhausted its military resources in two seemingly endless wars. Now, the superpower is finally bringing its soldiers home. But while the U.S.’s high-tech army may have failed in Afghanistan, it continues to operate outside of official war zones. U.S. Special Forces conduct targeted killings, using drones, hacks and surveillance technologies. All of this is blurring the lines between war and peace. The documentary also shows viewers how Russian mercenaries and hackers destabilized Ukraine. Indeed, the last decade has seen the rise of cyberspace armament. Hacking, sometimes subsidized by states, has grown into a thriving business. Digital mercenaries sell spy software to authoritarian regimes. Criminal hackers attack any target that can turn a profit for their clients. But the classic mercenary business is also taking off, because states no longer want their official armies to go into battle. Former mercenary Sean McFate outlines how privatizing warfare creates an even greater demand for it. He warns that a world of mercenaries is a world dominated by war.

I consume a moderate amount of #prepping media. Websites/forums, books, a couple of apps and podcasts.

It's insane to me how much of it is focused on #shtf and #bugout scenarios. I would say that discussion of EMP's outnumbers #climatechange by 5:1.

Just American style tactical-bro mall ninja fantasies.

What are you doing to #prepare for accelerating climate change?

Retooting my #bugout bag list and pasting here for those who want to see what it looks like to live on an active volcano in a hurricane zone.
Pele/Kilauea has begun erupting again, in her home, Halemaumau Crater. Halemaumau is the safest place for an active eruption for all of us and as long as that's where she stays, no one needs a bugout bag for an eruption. I still like to share this every so often bc I don't think some of you think about needing to flee, when in fact, you never really know when you may become an evacuee or refugee of some sort. Stay vigilant and know that wise preparation is not just a means of survival, with preparation, you can thrive.
