By 2050, I would expect: -Population growth to be negative with very few children born. Generation Y fail to reproduce as poor job stability, lack of child benefit and low subsistence incomes (for people with jobs) means they cannot sustain children. -Generation Y, X and generations who can remember...

After initially panicking like a mad man, I now am not too concerned with the spread of this virus and the virulence of this virus. As has been discussed, the fact that deaths have not spread out of Mexico, is a reassuring sign. Nevertheless, I shall still be watching this. From what I have read, pr...

possible case in london now in man who has flown in from mexico city..... I'm off to buy food and water. Good idea. Even if this thing kills only 1% of catchers, the damage-to-just in time infrastructure, the food, water and utilities industries will be catastrophic. This is potentially the worst o...

I'm VERY scared by this. This makes PO + economic collapse look like a walk in the park. I think its time to buy a mask, anyone know what types are virus repallant? A: This is probably media hype ... but if you are worried ... B: Only the BEST masks work ... N95 ... and get ones with exhaust valves...

Guys, I have two manual grain grinders which I use frequently, but to be honest I'm getting fed up with the bloody things. They provide very good exercise but take ages to process even a cup of wheat! Makes me think that in a survival situation there maybe EROEI issues. For that reason I am looking ...

I think I've come to the stage of knowing there's nothing else I can do to prepare for the future so I'm enjoying the present as much as possible instead. Hmm I try to do that, but find it very hard, as I am stuck in doomer mode. It has got to the stage that when I go out in my car I am constantly ...

I'm in my early 20's. Anyone in a similar age range?

Would be great to hear from anyone

Cant someone walk John O groates to Lands End inside a week? A two litre bottle for water and a back pack of good food and you can probably make it. It's 874 miles. You'd need to walk 125 miles a day. Has anyone tried walking when starving? The other day I skiped a few meals and felt so weak, that ...

Here for walnut trees-

I have seen a site selling grafted walnuts for £25 each. £40 is a rip off. I am currently grafting my own chestnut trees with scions from the fridge. If all succeeds it should end up costing about £1.50 overall for each tree. I am now in a similar situation to you, in that I have a site ready for pl...

I have planted 2 grafted sweet chestnut trees this year and plan on grafting 5 more trees (whether this works or not I dont know!). Apparently they are fantastic yielders. *only trouble* is the flour from them won't rise at all. I tried bread... no luck at all, even 60/40 with whole wheat was poor P...

Not far off $54,

get the popcorn lads!

No massive increased demand (indeed the opposite showing) No signs of economic growth Governments printing money Massive instability of the financial markets Is this the beginning of Peter Schifs prediction? Despite massive deflation and drop in commodities demand, the commodities are showing an inc...

So RGR you think the world can magically produce 86 million barrels per day of the black stuff.. for.... infinity years? Line up those 86million barrels... and you got a lot of barrels. Imagine it- 86 million Add in the increasing needs/wants of China and the East (2 billion possibly buying new cars...
