    Survival mentality. Hope

    I found this (albeit very cruel) experiment totally fascinating. I think it's really a practical lesson that there is an instinct subconscious to do all possible to survive if the person/animal thinks there is hope to survive. Once the person/animal loses hope then they're done for.

    The state of the country in 2021

    I feel like this is better suited to the preparedness subforum than off topic or politics. Good video worth a watch. I remember years ago watching John he wasn't really big into prepping but he's definitely changed his outlook. From the little he hints at I think he's turned into a pretty...
