For the first time you are able to find in one place the answer so many have been wondering about: What is really happening in the world — and a complete guide to everything you need to know to prepare for it and to deal with it.
The Need For This Book
“These problems [of resource depletion, continued population growth,
declining per-capita food production, global climate change and other signs
of environmental degradation, unsustainable levels of US debt and a
potential dollar collapse, and international political instability] are related to
each other in complex, often mutually reinforcing ways. Taken together, they
constitute the most severe challenge our species has ever faced. They
represent not merely a likely culmination of human history; in their ongoing
and potential environmental impacts, they also may collectively signal one of
the most momentous events in all of geological time.”
Richard Heinberg, Powerdown.
There is already a large and comprehensive collection of writing documenting the changes happening in the world, from various points of view. Furthermore, there are plenty of “What can I do about it?” ideas, opinions, and people offering their own particular views. Most of these, however, are either a plea to the masses to collectively change their ways, or are fairly narrow in scope and apply only to certain sets of people.
However there is still quite a shortage of material that specifically addresses the question of “What can I do about it?” from the point of view of the average, ordinary, modern individual. Material that gives a clear picture of the future, and what steps an ordinary modern person can take to move into that future in the best possible way for them.
All the information you could ever need on the economic crisis is out there already, in millions of written pages — in books, articles, and online (web) pages.
What is needed now is a road map to the important parts of this information, so that people know where to look — what to focus on: what is valuable, what is unnecessary, and what is just plain “whack-o”.
If it were not for this need, you could go out and buy a few books, do a few classes, perhaps move to somewhere more rural, and you would be on your way to success. You wouldn't need the newsletter as there are millions of pages of information already published, many of them excellent, that cater to these topics.
What has been lacking, though — until now — is a guide on how to approach these guides. Not just on how to organise and structure your learning and the changes you make to your life, but on the inner thought and feeling processes that need to change, and the great (and to most modern people, almost entirely unforeseen) benefits available to you as a result of doing this.
Can You Do Without This Book?
If you have any doubts whatsoever about the effects that current world events might have on your future (and/or the future of your loved ones) please take a minute to consider these questions:
Be
honest with youself here.
Think about this...
...have
you ever been somewhat interested in what you have heard about the economic crisis and the future of world stock markets? Or perhaps the inevitable consequences of a finite resource base combined with the need for ongoing economic growth? Or peak oil, population overshoot, global warming, or any other environmental and world issues...... but found your thoughts heading towards logical conclusions that you find difficult or impossible to accept?
...have
you ever imagined that you may be much more able to act sensibly in response to these issues if the facts were presented in a logical and straightforward way, and if there was something useful, significant and positive that you could actually do about the situation...?
...have
you ever got the feeling that EVERY source of “help” about these future problems is doing nothing more than asking you to make major life sacrifices that feel like the complete opposite of what you want to be doing...? Have you ever wished for the possibility of preparing for this kind of future in a way that actually BENEFITS you, personally?
...have
you already spent hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of hours reading and disseminating economic, financial, environmental, peak oil and/or other future-related websites and books, only to be left feeling like you haven't really changed anything important about your life...? Or even that you really knew where to start?
...have
you ever wondered why you cannot get motivated to make real changes, and/or to go ahead with and to follow up on even a small fraction of the vast multitude of ideas that appear to be viable and important components within a future-preparation strategy?
...have
you ever tried to learn new skills to prepare for the future, only to discover that there is nowhere even remotely near enough time to master all the material you initially thought would be necessary in a future where the many safety nets of modern society may no longer be there to depend upon?
...have
you ever had what seemed like sensible and logical ideas of what to do for the future... but your emotions started to go CRAZY at even the THOUGHT
of making changes... and you just decided that it would be easier to walk
away than try to overcome your fear? (The worst part about this one is
that you probably beat yourself up for it mentally later on, and felt even
WORSE about the approaching decades.)
...have
you ever tried to explain your knowledge of the future to another person or persons, perhaps to friends, loved ones, or co-workers, but found them unresponsive... perhaps even to the point where you literally drove them away?
...have
you ever had the thought that if ancient skills like small-scale local “sustainable” farming (without, or even with modern technology) and/or “outdated” skills were going to become valuable, and/or that if much of our modern life may possibly longer be relevant (or even exist), that would mean that you have wasted much of your life?
...have
you ever longed to escape from the shackles and the monotony of your modern western life, only to find that the practical reality of such an escape has nowhere near the happiness, the romance, or the appeal that it seemed like when it was just a fantasy?
...have
you ever wanted to make changes to your life, but you knew that the other significant people in your life would not understand — that if you were to change your life as you believe is best for the future, or even to change the way you talk about the future, you would upset, frighten, or simply weird-out the people who are most important to you?
...have
you ever wished that there was someone or something that would give you, all in the one place, a unified and straightforward plan of action, along with the information required that would enable you to follow through with it?
Have you ever
had one (or more) of these things happen to you?
If
you're anything like I was when I first started working on my “Post-Peak Economic Future”, then
you've been in one or more of these situations... probably MANY TIMES.
And
what's the WORST part about going through one of these things?
Well,
if you ask me, the most PAINFUL part of it is that as you're going through
it, you always have the feeling that you are fighting a losing battle, that it is all too hard, and you wish so desperately that you could have your old view of the future (the one that you grew up with) back.
BUT... It's not the changes themselves that are the problem.
It's
not the situation in itself.
It's
not ANYTHING else.
It's YOU. More specifically, it's WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR MIND... the cumulative effect of your past, your memories, your personality (which is itself based on your memories and past), your emotions, your DNA, and most of all, your habitual thought patterns.
People in general do not like being told that they themselves are the problem. But the truth of the matter is that this is exactly what empowers you to actually change. This empowerment comes from that fact that yourself and your actions are something that you have control over, as opposed to things out there in the world (such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or the future of our oil supply) that may be beyond your control. So change should be possible then — and it is — provided that you know the specific details of what it is that needs changing, and have the knowledge available to be able to do so.
With the huge number of people that are now engaged in working on this problem, and the vast amount of material that is available, on the internet, in books, and in other places, you would think that this information would be common knowledge. However, the fact is that I was not able to find this knowledge anywhere else at all. Or, to be more precise, the knowledge that I needed, and am now making available for your own benefit, was pieced together from literally thousands of separate sources over a period of several years of diligent research, trial and error, and practice.
What Others Have Said...
Here are a few of the comments I've received from readers who contacted me using the contact form on my website www.survival.org.au.
“Fantastic site, just what I have been looking for. Keep up the good work.” Byron.
“Hi — Great site, keep it up.” Mike.
“I've just joined your mailing list, and thought I should drop you a line to say congratulations, and thanks, for putting this website together. I am currently at the early stages of working towards self sufficiency (which strikes me as practically an impossible goal). It really saddens me to realise how much knowledge and wisdom we've lost ... but at the very least, it's nice to come across other people who are trying to regain it. Please keep it up!” Samantha.
“Good work — and lots of interesting info.” Peter.
“I look forward to checking out your site in more details... I will dive more into your website and writings, which I know I will find very useful.” Megan.
“Thanks for setting up the site. I've always wanted to learn more about being self-sufficient and survivial skills.” Alex.
“Magic site.” Omra.
“Hi, just wanted to say thanks for setting up this site.”
Cameron.
“Thank you for your information and great pictures on edible plants.” Lindy.
“Enjoyed your site-inspirational and educational. Thanks for having it on the web and out there.” Gail.
“Your site is the perfect handbook!” Ian.
“Thanks for the fantastic info youve supplied on your web site.”
Dean.
“Hi. I'm loving your site. Working thru it. Lots of good info. Thanks for putting it together.” Tim.
“Simon, Nice site, with great information. Great to see you're taking Peak Oil seriously — there are far too few of us here in Australia. If you have meetings or more importantly, hold training, how do I get involved? If you are not holding survival training, then how much will it cost for you to teach me? Look forward to your response.” Michael.
“I love your website.” Jenny.
“Great site — good on you for sharing this wisdom, which as you'd know is pretty thin on the ground.” Mark.
“I like your site, lots of good straight forward stuff.” Indy.
“I have been looking for a long time for a website on aussie edibles and this site is the best one. You should put up some vids on youtube! Thanks for all your wisdom.” Regards Tamar.
“Reading your site has motivated me to set some goals for myself and start learning the craft.” Mike.
“Hi, found your website and found it REALLY interesting (was googling "edible weeds" after watching a tv show). Look forward to any updates.” Rick.
“I found your site last night as I was having a surf through the internet as you do. Look forward to having more of a look over your site. Thank you for putting the information out to share.” Damian.
“Found your website, well done, good content, keep up the good work.” Mike.
“I like your site.” Chris.
“Great site Simon!! Appreciate your efforts at sharing information, particularly appreciative of the Australian reference lists.” Sincerely, Nicole.
“I've enjoyed your site... Good luck in your path.” Sean.
“When I went to your website, it looked to be exactly what I was looking for.” Mark.
“I came across your excellent site while researching post peak oil survival. The info on your website is some of the best around re this stuff. Your photography is also v impressive.” Ian.
The knowledge that is now available to you was pieced together from literally thousands of separate sources over a period of several years of diligent research, trial and error, and practice. I guarantee that you will not see this information available anywhere else.
The reason that I am providing this information is because the world needs this information. Although for some people in affluent first world countries this need is not yet completely obvious, it is becoming increasingly more obvious for more and more people as the impending world situation draws closer to a climax.

After working on this for many years, and watching other people, I have learned one thing: If I don't really make the
decision to get this part of my life handled, while things are still rolling along relatively comfortably (as they have for the last several decades), there's only a
small chance that I will do very much about it until the real changes in the world start to take effect. And if I let that happen, I would be missing out on the easiest and most valuable time for preparation.
