Should You Relocate To A More Resilient Area?
by Adam Taggart

Likely a symptom of growing social unease, we’re seeing a surge in interest amongst our readership in relocation.

Many are folks living in urban and suburban areas worried that local resources and/or rule of law will not hold up well during a serious economic crisis, civil disorder or natural disaster.

Others have watched Peak Prosperity readers successfully transition to more resilient destinations or even build their own self-sufficient homesteads.

Specifically, we’re seeing a hunger for guidance on the key factors to assess when asking:

  • How resilient is my current location?
  • Should I relocate?
  • If so, where to? And what criteria should I prioritize in making my decision?

What seems to be true is that humanity is in the early innings of a great transition.  Losing access to abundant energy will change more things that you or I can appreciate at this time.

The future is barreling towards us at a furious pace.  And the pace of that change is accelerating.

It’s time to freak out a bit.  To get serious about protecting ourselves.  To make different decisions and reorganize our priorities.

If you understand energy and its relationship to the economy the way I do, you’d share my urgency to create community and develop a resilient homestead.  My goal here is to nudge you towards action.

The Importance Of A Resilient Life
by Chris Martenson

My business partner Adam and I recently met with a successful business owner whose career began on Wall Street. The kind of guy who should be rooting for the system, because it has treated him well.

Instead, he was quite nervous about the sustainability of the status quo. “Starting in August,” he said, “Maybe it was the Amazon catching fire, maybe it was the negative interest rates – I don’t know for certain what the trigger was – but something has snapped.”

I agree. Because I feel it, too.

Executive Summary

  • Why it’s far better to be a year early than a date late when preparing for crisis
  • Why I’m issuing a rare Alert
  • What’s causing me to release this Alert now
  • My relocation criteria

If you have not yet read Part 1: It’s The Pace Of Change That Kills You, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

As we say often here at Peak Prosperity: When it comes to preparing for crisis, it’s far better to be a year early than a day late.

I’m perfectly willing to be early on timing, as long as I get the direction right.

For example, I invested heavily in gold and silver beginning in 2001.  My first purchases of gold were at $300/oz.  Silver at $4.53/oz.

I was early. Prices didn’t really start taking off until 2006.

The bulk of these purchases happened after the sale of my house in 2003 when I had ~$250,000 of gains I had to do something with.  I rolled all of it into bullion.

I was early on selling my house, too. The housing market didn’t roll over until 2007.

Was I early on calling a housing bubble?  Yep.  Was I correct?  Again, yes.  Looking back does it matter that I was early to both the housing correction and precious metals rallies? Not at all.

Here again I can state with equal conviction that we each need to be prepared for massive changes coming.  If that sounds vague it’s because they are going to impact virtually everything and every system we hold dear.

Political.  Ecological.  Financial.  Cultural.  Social.  Our lives.  People we know.  Our communities.  All of them.  Every. Single. One.

Massive debts, insufficient resources, rising pollution, collapsing food webs, and a near incomplete ability to have a proper national or global dialog about any of these things.  That’s what is setting the trajectory.

Now, I very rarely send out Alerts.  An Alert is triggered if and only if I come across information that causes me to personally take action.

Which I why I’m now issuing an Alert that after nearly 20 years of living in the same geography, I’m relocating. Recent events have accelerated to the point that I’m no longer comfortable in my current location.

My top priorities: more land, a more robust local community that shares my passion for resilience, and state government that has greater respect for the individual and personal liberty.

Specifically, I’m placing the greatest value on… (Enroll now to continue reading)

It’s The Pace Of Change That Kills You

The Powers That Be, like central bankers and politicians, are only human. They err. They have to operate with imperfect information.

But they are also mostly untrained in systems thinking, resource limits, and other such necessary fields — which they could correct for if they cared or dared.

But they aren’t. And because of this, the pace and the scope of the changes happening are beyond their powers of comprehension, let alone their powers to fix.

It seems as if Mother Nature is waking up. Either she's trying to send humans an important warning, or perhaps she's just out to kill us all.

Massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, and collapsing ecosystems all combine to remind us that we are indeed intimately connected to our planet's natural systems. And that our well-being rests on staying on Mother Nature's good side.

Well, Mother Nature has seemed pretty pissed at us of late. Her recent punishments should be taken as a disciplinary wake-up call.

When it comes, change happens swiftly. And life after — for better or worse — is forever different.

I've witnessed this time and time again since co-founding Peak Prosperity. And pretty much every time, I notice that the vast majority of people — including many of the the watchful and preparation-minded folks who read this site — are caught by surprise.

If you’re one of the millions of folks here in the initial days of 2017 making resolutions for the new year, we’d like to lend support.

In the years since we started this site, we’ve created a lot of programming and services that are targeted at the most popular goals people make resolutions for. These solutions have helped a large number of folks make real, constructive and positive change in their lives. Maybe they will for you, too.

An Opportunity To Live Resiliently

After watching the Crash Course, who among us hasn't felt insecure with where we live?

The idea of a sustainable community has a powerful allure. Imagine a resource-rich property mapped out with a plan for sustainable self-sufficiency, populated with a community of like-minded folks that already "get" the importance of cultivating resilience….  Sounds pretty good, right?

But what exactly is a "sustainable community" anyways? How do you find one? What's it like to live there? How do you know if it's all going to work out in the long run?

Rising Resource Costs Escalate Odds of Global Unrest

As we observe the growing unrest in Ukraine, there is the usual rush to ascribe a cause. Was it meddling by the West? Russia? Was it corruption by prior leaders? Simmering resentments that stretch back centuries that finally erupted?

The answers apply to Ukraine as well as to many other countries. Which is why having an accurate framework, a clear 'lens' for seeing what is actually transpiring, will prove far more useful to you than 99% of what you will hear on the ni

 "It's About Control": An Interview with David Icke
Just got my result that I’m C19 positive.
I work at a mining camp in northern BC where I shared a bathroom with a guy (double injected) that was coughing for days and then tested positive. They got me to do a rapid test which was negative but I was feeling OK at that time.
Got home and started feeling...
