Grab a cold one and relax since this is another Magnum Opus of a video but hopefully you find it useful - please share if you do as the Google algorithm isn't too kind to my channels since I don't talk nonsense or support the 'current thing'..........
If you've ever wondered how the various 'Bushcraft' and 'Survival' fishing kits perform then look no further - I've used them all, caught fish on them and have compiled a score chart to rate everything you see in this video. *TIME STAMPS AND PRODUCT LINKS BELOW*

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day..........Give a man a Bushcraft / Survival fishing kit and he will be unable to resist poaching fish from every stream, river and lake"

As we navigate through the next decade or so of a 'Solar Minimum' cycle our weather will be all over the place, agriculture will naturally be affected due to unpredictable seasons and food availability will subsequently be reduced.
By exploiting the effects of Natural weather cycles to drive through policies sold as 'Environmental' we've now got the World Economic Forum stepping out from the shadows and intentionally destroying the farming industry, eliminating traditional (organic) agricultural practices and disrupting the distribution network in favor of lab-grown 'food' which can be fully controlled and rationed ............ I for one will not "Eat ze bugs"....
"Who controls the food supply, controls the people.." -- Henry Kissinger, 1974
It's not exactly looking rosy but there's no need to panic - there are solutions we can all take to easily mitigate the nonsense.
- Grow your own food - yup, it's as simple as it sounds and any level of food production is good.
- Learn how to hunt, track and trap wild game.
- Learn what wild plants can be eaten (and used for proper medicine).
- Install renewable power supply for your house - solar, wind, ground source heating etc. to be more energy independent. Anything which supplements the power or heating will save money instantly.

These are all skills we would have known back in the day since as a species we had a natural survival instinct and minds which questioned everything. Now through the forced idiocy of TV and 'social' media the vast majority of minds have switched off - let's turn them back on again and start thinking decades ahead instead of minute to minute.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.
