Let us have an open, honest discussion of ideas and let the best ones win out.

God do I wish that was reality, and appreciate your point. Just from my philosophical and historical leanings, I do pick up on patterns, rhythms of when things seem to repeat. I live by the saying "Hope for the best, plan for the worst" so hopefully my fears of a shift too far are unfounded

In my planing stages, I'm scoping out camp sites, how to build temporary shelters and how to preserve food without refrigeration, already looked up salt pork.
