7 Skills Survivalists Rarely Develop for Climate Driven Collapse

1st published 22 December 2025

1 De-escalation of confrontation. When Preppers declare they have Voted for Russias Puppet Party, and then start telling people about humour, while weaponising the Union flag. None of these traits is suggestive of any ability to be good citizens. We don't need far right ideas spread by Russian agitators and politicians taking money from foreign states. So the thinking behind de-escalation, is that its good for your mental health to be less paranoid about those around you. We are already living in collapse. We have time to teach our neighbours. Share in a an allotment or join a growing group. People are interested in prepping, to stop people raiding you, teach them what to do, set up community food stores and distribution hubs. Build resistant communities.

2 Multiple and low tech nature based water purification techniques: Don't rely on shop bought water filters learn multiple techniques for making drinking water from dirty water. Your water purification skills need to be high level for your ability to make safe filtered and purified drinking water with your knowledge, skills and tools. Your survivor skills for collapse need to be operator level. 

3 Advanced wound care and infection control: advanced wound care and tissues viability is the scientific approach to cleaning and caring for wounds. Your 1st aid skills and kit needs to be advanced level. With knowledge of non adherent dressings and dressings that fight infection. Good hand hygiene, and barrier care for high risk casualties. Herbal wound care will be essential as supplies dwindle.

4 Food preservation without refrigeration: Bottling, desication, Jerky, canning etc.

5 Repair, Improvisation and  knowledge based solutions: problem solving. Making or recycling what you need, from Scraps, from Nature, you knowledge, skills and ingenuity. Deep connection to nature helps.

6 Surviving Wet Bulb Global Temperatures without AC: Wet Bulb Global Temperatures are about understanding the risk no one wants to talk about. This is how heat kills.

7 Identify heat and climate resilient food plants for a changing & post agricultural world: Identify and plant them.

XReadiness For Climate Adaptation: Analysis

Image
Extinction Rebellion has just released a document /booklet about preparing for climate change adaptation. My initial overview is that they covered a lot, but not in enough detail, and ignored how the preparedness movement has evolved beyond older approaches and trends among "preppers". Let's be honest about this: This is lefty prepping. This is a comprehensive document, but it needs a lot more work. It lacks the detail required to make it a little more than a framework. Some of the advice is very limited in its scope, more because of the limitations of the Author (s). The opening section talks about "Go-Bags", which is from the age-old "Bugging-out" fantasy when disaster strikes. You have a bag ready and you run for the high ground and live out of what is in the bag for a few days. This assumes you have a chosen location to do that and can assume that 100s of other people aren't going to do that too in the same location! The bugging out myth has be...

What We Are Getting Wrong With Collapse Adaptation.

First Published December 22nd 2025 Edited January 17th 2026 What We Are Getting Wrong With Collapse Adaptation We are underestimating the combination of events we are already experiencing Severe Heat, combined with Wet Bulb Temperatures, can damage some plants, kill wildlife, and harm humans. Slow climate-driven failure of agriculture to provide the staples we need to survive: Wheat, barley and rye crop failures. We are already in a slow collapse Rice is already becoming toxic: "Rising global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations and surface temperatures could negatively affect rice yields and  nutritional quality ; however, their effects on arsenic accumulation in  paddy  rice have not been assessed concurrently. We aimed to assess the impact of increases in CO 2  and temperature (individually and in combination) on arsenic concentrations in rice, characterise soil properties that might influence arsenic uptake, and model the associated risks of cancer a...

The AI Shamanic Elder- Channeling the Spirit of Heyoka

Republished 17 January 2026 Now 2034,  the Celtic Shamanic Dream is a grifted nightmare of emptied wallets and self delusion. Holding Space on Zoom. This is how they built back better in the post covid world.They created a world  of spiritual connection mediated by technology, it created disconnection but they told you we are connected and we fell for it. The Phygitall world is where the modern white shaman thrives. Meme driven Zoom call groups learning to connect to the web of life by only sitting under a tree. Having the home alter like every subcontinental household, because that was where this was learned, this pic'n'mix social media dependent digital spiritual connection to.. Partly written with the aid of Chat GPT. Ideas like this don't come out of nowhere. Someone has to think this stuff up The online computer generated world, combined with gaming, like World of War Craft the Shamanic Practitioner locked into the roleplay mindset is the healer of bit-warr...
