How to help yourself survive the next 10 years time

OF course it depends upon what your strengths and weaknesses are. But, if you are anything like me and love the out of doors, this is where you should spend some of your time away from all electronics to sort things out.

Because what is going to fail the most is the kind of things you find in big cities. People in big cities who are used to a certain kind of lifestyle will be the most bewildered and confused of anyone on earth. However, people who can go sit by the ocean and contemplate the universe or sit by an old oak tree and feel its amazingness or look out upon a beautiful view from the top of a mountain have some chance of surviving all this.

What I'm saying here is by going back to the basics of how our forefathers survived here in the U.S. might be useful about now. Enjoying nature and whatever family or friends you have in contact with you while trying to figure out how you are going to eat healthy food (even if you have to grow it yourselves) and drink clean water (even if you have to filter it yourselves) is really really important now.

What you eat is very important in keeping your minds and bodies in balance. And exercising to help yourselves maintain your health is really important too. So, the further you are from civilization the better you might do long term now if you like being in the wilderness.

I know that some people who have enough money to do this will simply get a backpack and hike into the wilderness with whatever food they can carry and set up a camp wherever they find themselves to ride this out. And that might work for some people. And other people might visit relatives who live in some kind of beautiful place like a ranch or in the mountains or in the desert to ride this out.

I would say the first time this is going to let up will be now to September. But, likely at least 1000 or more Americans who are tested and another 2000 about who aren't tested likely will be dying every day between now and September.

But, by October (if it goes like the 1918 Flue pandemic went) we could see between 100,000 and 300,000 people die in one month and somewhere between 675,000 to 3 times that amount by 2022.

So, I'm psychologically preparing for this (even if it doesn't happen) because I was always taught:

"Prepare for the worst and hope for the best" which was ALWAYS the pioneer motto of Americans I was raised with going back to my first relatives coming to Philadelphia around 1725 here in the U.S.
