Some Resources
You will need a stable base - will need to gather food every 3-4 weeks, will be fetching wood and fuel for heat hours every day, you will need to be near water, but water will be less of a problem than food except in desert regions. Boil all your water and use it for cooking, cleaning, warmth, etc. Soups and Teas are good sources of vitamins and comfort and warmth. Energy is expensive when you need to fetch it.
Hunting is seasonal and animals move....so dont expect it if everyone does it...
Fruit is found in the wild but again only seasonally....
Fish are not in all lakes.
For water, SODIS method. Filter it through a shirt or something into any clear container, then let the sun's UV sterilize the water.
A copper coil with a galvanized/zinc screw at one end inside a copper pot will also purify water.
For a fire NOW in almost any condition, road flares.

A couple of years ago someone posted an archive of Survival Ebooks. I think that post was deleted.
To protect those resources it was moved to a web server and made available for all.
https://awakeningmap.org/more/Akashic%20Drive/Survival%20PDFs/
Archive: https://awakeningmap.org/more/Archives/Survival%20PDFs.tar.7z
You will need 7zip to extract the Archived books.
(Also going to add some videos and tips on staying warm and cooling off and general good stuff to know.)

This post is going to be a long term sticky.
"Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert." -Isaiah 43:19
Avast! Me hearties! We can be river pirates in the desert! (Pirates for Good, that is)
I've been thinking and it occurs to me we could do with some fren upgrades and I'd like to hear your guyses thoughts.
My ideas are to have a group chat on https://element.io/
and group live at Webex Meetings,
in order to talk about God stuff more and whatever else comes to mind.
Update: Proton now has a video chat option
What say we sets the sails and ship out?

Thanks! u/YearninNation :
All the good conspiracies are already proven true. One of my fav's is that the colors in the sky are due to noble gases ionizing in the upper atmosphere like neon signs...it'd be the argon that makes the blue...4th most abundant element in the atmosphere btw...also like the one that says you cannot see stars in space...and cosmic mildew 2.0 is epic.

There's a lot of holes in the theories, imo.
-
Why would whoever reset society decide to leave the buildings up and then dismantle the buildings later after the repopulation of the world had begun? If whomever reset us had technology to destroy an advanced civilization then why leave the buildings?
-
If it was a mud flood then where isn't there more evidence of this? Where's the bodies?
-
If there was an apocalyptic event where everyone went underground to survive thus why there's so many tunnels and catacombs then wouldn't the Old World Buildings have overgrowth all over them? Most of the pictures of the Old World Buildings (aside from a very limited few) show the buildings with no overgrowth so what would have had to have happened would have been sudden.
-
Even if you go with the "Little Season" idea that Satan was freed and he "caused the reset", there would have been evidence wouldn't there?
I have a hard time accepting that our civilization built the structures we see today that we attribute anywhere from 900 AD to 1950 AD for construction. Then in the last 70 years we don't build anything like it and "lost the capability" because everyone just decided to build cheaply but prior to the last 70 years not a single person build cheaply unless it was a peasant's house? Then all of a sudden, guys like Elon Musk are living in meh ok houses... You'd think a trillionaire would be able to build something grand to live in. The architecture of these old buildings doesn't add up to me.
But I don't really understand what happened from "supposedly" the 1800s to now. Even the people seem questionable. We have stories of the difficulties our ancestors lived through and the stories of the intelligence many of these people had who invented so many of the same technologies we use today, yet most people today seem stupid and incapable of what our ancestors were. How could we be degrading so quickly over such a short period of time? Purely because of our technology? I'm not sure I buy that either.
Something about the late 1700s to now compared to all other history and modernity doesn't seem to add up. There does appear to be a missing link. What are your guys' thoughts?
