After the Crash

I have finished the Course Chapters which by the way are on youtube also. I feel like I have been hyper-informed after the videos. I did not realize how messed up we were economically and its connection to oil. I would definitely change other behaviors after learning about our system from the Crash Course. I would first change my perspective on saving and preparing for shortage and disruption for food and transportation. I am currently managing a small garden now and will be expanding it to to reduce my food dependancy from the markets. I plan to covert a car to electric and use solar to charge it effectively instead of grid use. These are steps to ensure I will lower my foot print while preparing for high prices and shortages of oil and food as a result in the fuuture. I will continue to reduce use and lower my usage to do my part while preparing for what could be a seriously society change according to the video and check list. I have a lifestyle that is pretty prepared by learning about survivalism in my environment and learning about making and fixing things, building solar, wind, and water power systems. I have a tripple set of camping gear and have lots of survival tools, books, and equipment from enjoying the outdoors. I would like to add that the video and checklist are both marketing gold from their websites showing that they are using fear tactics to buy gold and also gives incentive to selectively mine data to fit their perspective and money to drive for. I do believe their is a little truth in all that's said but I also think he has not factored in all the elements that are unseen or unknown. He seems real but also mentions his data sets are reliant on thousands of ressearchers who all of which have their own agendas for grant money and jobs ect. Ect. I would hope he is very wrong but feel there are some concerns. I heard a good saying I live by "a pund of cure or an ounce of prevention" I will prepare and hope it was in vein.
