In our periodic polling of preppers on what they believe is most likely to trigger a societal collapse (widespread, long lasting loss of law and order), an economic collapse is often the top concern. A recession may already be underway, with the US economic output falling in the first quarter of 2025, the impacts of the Trump trade war starting to  hit.  More investment firms are now predicting a recession in 2025 is likely. There are unfortunately many ways an economic downturn could lead to a collapse, violence and widespread loss of law and order: Any of the above factors […]

A recent poll of several hundred preppers, people who are looking at news and watching for threatindications, well informed, asked, “Do you believe that President Trump’s actions and plans to date are increasing or decreasing the likelihood of a domestic civil war?” The poll found that 50% believe Trump is “greatly increasing” the likelihood of civil war, with another 20% indicating he is slightly increasing likelihood of civil war.  7% responded that Trump is not having an impact on the likelihood of civil war, but that a domestic civil war is likely.  Combined, 77% of respondents believe Trump is increasing the […]

Centers for Disease Control just reported that H5N1 has mutated again, in a human—we may be close to human-to-human transmissible version of this 60% lethal virus and a Big Collapse. Quoting from the recent Dec 26, 2024 CDC report: • “CDC has sequenced the influenza viruses in specimens collected from the patient in Louisiana who was infected with, and became severely ill from HPAI A(H5N1) virus.” • “The analysis identified low frequency mutations in the hemagglutinin gene of a sample sequenced from the patient, which were not found in virus sequences from poultry samples collected on the patient’s property, suggesting […]

Intelligence officers supporting the Collapse Survivor App and Fortitude Ranch have concluded that the most likely explanation for the threatening, unusual drone activity around the U.S. is that it is Chinese agents, operating in an Air Taxi Drone front company.  Drones have clearly been used to conduct reconnaissance of U.S. military and sensitive installations.  They are likely doing reconnaissance work under the cover of commercial activity.  The recent big drone sightings in New Jersey and New York also fit with this explanation—the air taxi business best market is New York City –  New Jersey travel.  The large car-size drones also […]

The Canadian in critical condition with H5N1 virus (not from known contact with other H5N1 infected animals) has a mutated variant that moves the virus closer to human-to-human transmissibility with high lethality. Scientists have now studied the H5N1 virus that infected a teenager in Canada who had no contact with wild birds or any other animals with H5N1.  This new H5N1 virus has three mutations at positions in the virus’ genome that allow it to attach more easily to human cells. Thus far, no one who had contact with the infected teenager, who is still in critical condition, has caught […]

Dr. Phil endorses prepping and showcases Fortitude Ranch survival community. See the video here.

The New York Times featured Fortitude Ranch survival community in long article about the rapidly growing preparedness industry. Read the article here.

Leading British newspaper The Independent covers the growing survival, prepper movement in the U.S., with extensive coverage of Fortitude Ranch, the largest survival community. Read the article here.

Right or Wrong, the Trump Trials are increasing likelihood that 2024 POTUS election will yield violence followed by some form of Civil War, breakup of United States Divisions in the U.S. continue to worsen, with the 2024 Biden-Trump campaign pouring gas on the fire.  Ray Dalio made his fortune with his huge hedge fund Bridgewater by correctly predicting future events, so his warning of the high chance of the U.S. devolving into civil war this year is wise to pay attention to.  The Collapse Survivor mobile App ran a military style prepper exercise simulation on U.S. civil war a month […]

In a discussion about collapse threats with Tim Pool, Fortitude Ranch’s CEO explained how there is current dire risk from AI being use by “bad people” to design deadly new viruses, new means of enriching uranium—two scenarios that have already been simulated in the Collapse Survivor App.  AGI, the stage where AI may on its own decide to kill people may be years in the future, but AI use by bad people to design better and new ways to kill people is already here.

The threat of Artificial Intelligence is grossly misrepresented in the media.  It is not a future threat, it is a current threat.  Not bad, self-aware computers and robots, but bad people using AI now to develop better means to kill people.  We are in an “Age of Collapse” now as this new video explains: The video has convincing evidence that AI will not just be used to develop better drugs, but more deadly viruses.  And easier ways to enrich uranium, more lethal poisons, an endless list.  It is no surprise that so many CEOs and rich people are building survival […]

There is exponential growth in the number of  preppers, now up to one-third of Americans today due to growing threats from lethal new technologies like bioengineering and AI, and our fragile economy and electric grid, and social vulnerabilities.  The probability of a collapse (non-functioning economy, widespread loss of law and order) is high and rising rapidly. Artificial Intelligence will make all past threats worse, and lead to the invention of novel new ways to kill people.  Watch this video on “the Age of Collapse” to understand the growing likelihood of a collapse disaster:

This is a lessons learned podcast from the China-Taiwan-U.S. “Nuclear Chicken” scenario, a March 2024 exercise simulation played on the “Collapse Survivor” mobile App.  China threatens the U.S. with nuclear attack if they do not abandon support of Taiwan’s defense in a pending Chinese invasion.  A small salvo of Chinese nuclear weapons destroys the U.S. electric grid with a “High altitude EMP” attack.  Lessons learned on protecting against EMP damage and surviving a long collapse are offered: See the video of the podcast here.

This video provides a brief overview of the “Collapse Survivor” mobile App that offers alerts of a pending collapse disaster.  The App also provides many preparedness tools, including a selection of the best prepper/survival videos, and a weekly military exercise style collapse survival simulation you can play on the App.  Great and fun way to learn about the threats, and learn how to improve your preparedness: See the video here.

Artificial Intelligence is not just a future threat of bad robots and AI computers—it is a current threat because of bad people using AI to design more lethal viruses, poisons, and other ways to kill people more effectively.  AI can also be used to find easier ways to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.  That is what happened in this Collapse Survival mobile app scenario that dealt with terrorist detonating nuclear weapons in large U.S. cities.  The podcast covering lessons learned has a former Army Chem-Nuclear-Bio officer explaining the effects of nuclear weapons and offering advice on how to deal with […]

This video explains how the “Collapse Survivor” mobile App can save your life by providing warnings of impending disasters that could lead to a collapse.  The extra hours or days of warning you get from this App, just $10/year, could save your life. See the video here.
