He is dead serious on the possibility of a disaster happening in 2026. We just don’t know.


Just the other day I suggested the possibility of water and power being allocated for AI in my Rant The Whole Town Better Be Outta Town By High Noon!  AI may be a false reason for the shortage of water and future shortage of power. But it dose not negate the shortage.


I trust BP’s instincts is this area. In this morning’s Rant To All Those Stressed, Confused and Rattled. ., I even suggested “It must be your own original thoughts.  Then focus only on that direction and remain calm. Be preparing your extended family for that direction, even if you have to do it by yourself.”

______________________________________________


Below is suggestions from my Prepper Website on water shortage:


34. Water Do all of your own research on installing wells, purifying water in soda bottles lying in the sun or purchasing filters.


But the old standard stand by is adding 1/4 teaspoon of unscented bleach to a gallon of water. If it is muddy or full of debris filter it through sand and/or cloth first.


Old Bleach: Bleach quickly looses its strength. I do not know the deterioration rate, but to avoid it aging on you purchase a 1 lb. bag of granulated pool shock (about $30) as it lasts forever until used and will purify about 10,000 gallons of water. Dose: 1 Heaping Teaspoon to 2 gallons of water, yielding 2 gallons of bleach to be used 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of dirty water.


The above formula is for a 100% calcium hypochlorite (pool shock). If using about 70% shock, use 1.5 Heaping Teaspoons per 2 gallons. Make certain it does not say "Super Shock" as that has algaecide in it.If you can taste the chlorine then pour the water from one container into another until some of the chlorine evaporates, then next time cut back on the 1/4 Teaspoon dosage a little.

40. Sanitary Shit.


SHIT Shit happens, and it's going to continue to happen when shit happens. The question is what are we going to do about it? We have all heard the stories of people in high rises unable to get rid of their shit. When that happens expect cholera, hepatitis and diphtheria in your neighborhood. So what's a mother to do?


If you are a city slicker you may get a double whammy: no water and no sewage. Then on top of that the people uphill or up from an underground lift station, will continue to use rainwater to flush with. But without electricity the lift stations will not function, distributing shit to about ten percent of the households, making them uninhabitable. To prevent this, all homes should have a $4 four inch sewer pipe cap.


If you discover you are a lucky recipient, just dig up the line, cut it and install the cap with a rock holding it in place.


If you have a water shortage however, you still have a shit problem so now we have two problems in one. So let's solve them as one. First make a composting toilet with $25 in materials or for free using a toilet seat, a closet door and its two hinges, plus a five gallon pail. It will take a family of four a week to fill two buckets. Cover your daily deposit with dirt, sawdust, shredded paper, compost or grass using just enough to hide the color. I swear, there is no odor.


You can also buy an adult potty chair at a thrift store for $10 and place a 5 gallon bucket under it.


A normal family uses 15,000 gallons of water each month with half of that, 7,500 gallons, used to flush. The compost toilet requires only 4 gallons per month. We just solved half of your biggest survival problem – water!


Now let’s use the Human Manure Composting method to dispose of it. We will eventually build a 4 cubic foot compost pile. Stake out a 4 foot by 4 foot location. Empty the bucket, making sure that it is slightly wet if you choose not to urinate in it for some reason. Try to build sides that allow air in (pallets). Dig a hole in the pile and empty the bucket then cover it with a few inches of dirt, grass or paper. Never turn this compost pile. About every six inches of level place a layer of straw or sticks to allow air into the pile. The idea is to let the shit cook and build up steam. It will completely cook down anything in it in two weeks.


Anything bio-degradable can go in that pile, including Pampers, bloody bandages, road kill, Tampons, etc. It will all cook down.


Continue to build the pile up to a height of four feet. When finished, let it age one year to kill the human pathogens. It is now ready as a fertilizer on your garden.


Get your neighbors to do this as well and you have just prevented the dreaded unsanitary diseases, no shit.

PS. I have had company all afternoon and tried to hurriedly finish this Rant I began this morning. I left out one important statement.


The bottom line for most folks is this. If we assume there is strong possibility in what BP warn us of, we can cheaply prepare for that event and move on.


1) Purchase a 200 gallon IBS storage tote and hold it in reserve. About $150.

2) Purchase a hose adopter for it. About $15


3) Purchase Cal- listed above, 6 count. Each packet will provide drinking and cooking water purification for a 4 person family for two years. Share the other 5 packets. About $30


4) Be prepared to make a Human Manure toilet. About $25 This cuts the family water consumption of purified water in half.


5) Inventory and hold all the above parts until needed.


6) If needed, cut a drain gutter downspout and redirect it into the camouflaged storage tote.Add a garden hose to it and draw rainwater from it 15 feet away so neighbors don’t see it happening.


Therefore, one can prepare the family for around $200.


Note: I will add more details to this section tomorrow morning.
