Little things that get done here and there just go a longer way than "those wars to come" you say you're preparing to.

Don't dream big if you cannot act small, for small actions, unlike big aspirations, are truly within your circle of competence.

Don't wait for a social apocalypse, don't fantasize about racial wars. Just be a day-to-day hero, and start with standing your ground.

Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams | Matthew Walker

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book.

HOW MUCH TO STORE?

The experts at the FDA have said that the average adult will consume the following amounts of fresh food per year.

Meat - 150 to 200 pounds per year

Flour - 200 to 300 pounds

Sugar or honey - 60 pounds

Fats or Oils - 60 pounds

Salt - 5 pounds

Powdered Milk - 75 pounds

Vegetables and Fruits - 600 to 700 pounds

Water - 375 gallons

The figures above are nice guidelines, but they need to be considered from the technical angle of preserved foods rather than fresh foods.

1. Food takes more space than you think.

2. Rotating Supplies.

3. Buy what you eat, not what you think you will eat.

4. Prepping its a lot, take it easy, take your time, know before you buy.

5. Water : Way out of the throat.

6. Plan for expansion.

7. Stop caring about what other people thinks about prepping, they wont get it.

First Step: Time to reorganize your subscription page. Make sure all of your subscribed channels are relevant to what you wish to consume. Be certain that all of the content on the channel piques your interest, not a small selection, then you unsub it but If you were interested in the channel, save the name on telegram. During this period, determine how useful the channel is for you.

Second Step: How to watch videos after your subscriptions have been filtered. We can be caught with watching excessive ammounts of videos. Instead, take your time on each video, and require yourself to write main points or ideas in each video.
A general rule of thumb is eat all the colors of the rainbow in fruits and vegetables a day to get the full spectrum of nutrients. The darker the colors the more antioxidants they contain. Different colors of even the same produce contain different vitamins.
Here is a short summary of colors and nutrients:

Red:

Lycopene, ellagic acid, Quercetin, and Hesperidin

Orange & Yellow:
Beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, flavonoids, lycopene, potassium, and vitamin C

Green:

Chlorophyll, fiber, lutein, zeaxanthin, calcium, folate, vitamin C, calcium, and Beta-carotene.

Blue and Purple:

Lutein, zeaxanthin, resveratrol, vitamin C, fiber, flavonoids, ellagic acid, and quercetin

White:

Beta-glucans, EGCG, SDG, and lignans

What are antioxidants? A lot of people have no idea what they are and what they do. To put it simply, antioxidants deter or neutralize oxidation in the digestive system and cells of the body. Antioxidants are basically pigmented cells in the fruits and vegetables that absorbs oxidizing chemicals in the body's digestive tract. This is why when you eat a good amount of dark colored things, your urine or feces can actually turn different colors depending on what you ate. This is a good thing. Oxidation of your cells leads to damage of the cell walls and increases inflammation (swelling during the healing process) which can do much more harm than good. Dark berries such as blueberries, blackberries, acai and others have some of the most antioxidants due to their rich dark pigments in the fruit fiber.

Learn to eat and eat to learn.

Suggestion:

Start testing your equipment.

Hang your hammock from a tree, make sure you familiarize yourself with what types of trees can support it, how much weight it can hold, and practice taking it down in a rush.

Go for a few rucks in full kit, including body armor etc. You may rethink some decisions you've made deciding weight etc.

Break in your boots, make sure you're comfortable in them and they're the right type for your foot.

Practice cooking on your camp stove with your mess kit, to ensure it is usable for the purposes you desire.

Sample your prep foods, buy accessory items such as canned meats, dried fruits, and bullion/seasoning flavors to make it more palatable for morale.

Learn basic takedown procedures, maintenance, and common failure points in your chosen firearms, try to have a few extra parts such as bolts and springs in your stockpile.

Whatever advice anyone gives you, the best situation/ gear is what you are familiar with and know how to use.

Personally, I'd go to war with a seasoned marksman who has experienced combat armed with a .22lr than a moron armed with the latest H&K black-scary-rifle
