Time to brush up on your disaster/survival skills

I find your chart interesting and to the point.
However, and this is a serious question not some wise ass crap, I know little about this so bear with me.
I think that chart is showing the pump IN the at the bottom of the well. It requires way less to PUSH water than to lift it. That’s why, bad example, fuel pumps on modern cars are IN the tank and not on the engine. Cars need instant pressure (high) and immediately.
Fuel injection be it gasoline or diesel has to PUSH the fuel. It can’t SUCK it to the engine.
So I wonder if your chart (nice-one) is showing the liquid being PUSHED up.
I hope this at least makes sense.
I believe maximum theoretical lift for a pump is 33-34ft with a perfect vacuum at sea level so is your water deaper than that? At least that's what they teach us in the fire service for pumper trucks.
Edit: That's a dry prime I believe.
 
I’m a bit lost as to when you will post the security section?
Are you waiting for someone to start? Or for this section to reach an end.
If it’s the former well I’m asking.
Lots of good info so far.
If things go sideways it will happen fast and that’s not the time to think of a plan.


A little later. After the discussion pretty much ends on this portion. It's a LOT of info in compact form. Lots to unpack and think about.

This portion is the beginning stages of survival. It would be the most important part IMO. If I can't make it through this portion, I won't make it to the rest. Once I've survived the initial shock wave and made it somewhere safe, the rest is just maintaining safe and livable conditions. Maintaining peace amongst the clan members. Being fair and just in any decisions that are made as a community. Not that any of that is easy, but that's basically what the rest is all about.

Some of the things are a little shocking concerning the survival and safety of the clan. But generally the rest is common sense.
 
How many of y'all got a rocket stove? I'll be building a couple of more after it cools down a bit. They're pretty easy to make. Seen some for sale but they are getting expensive now. People are discovering what they are and buying them causing a demand that wasn't there before things started declining.

Be good for home, long term camping or semi permanent living area. They are too heavy to be real portable unless you can use a vehicle.
 
Prepping is bullshit and for crazy Americans......is what I would have said 3 years ago.

Classic case of not my problem and it will never happen. We have rebuilt the world after decades of turmoil after the turn of the 20th century.

Then the Pandemic came. I was wrong and sorry for it.

Im in Victoria, Australia. In a matter of days the Government took away my "Rights" and freedoms that id thought the fundamental bedrock of western democracy. Almost (nonconsecutive) 300 days we were locked in our homes under penalty of fine and imprisonment. The Government erected a "Ring of Steel" as they called it around Melbourne controlling who could and couldnt leave.....

The lessons of the past are so quickly forgotton. All im sure that I know now, is how much I dont know.

I appreciate the thread.
I recall a quote that seems to fit, “A conservative is a liberal that just got mugged.”
Sorry that your officials just mugged you pard. Really am.
At least you now acknowledge reality. Here, we still gave a huge segment(primarily those swilling the mainstream Kool-aid) of the populace that are still trying to rationalize/justify the rape of their liberty.

THESE PEOPLE REPRESENT YOU IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS!!
Neither of these people represent you or I. Admiral Rachel L. Levine serves as the 17th Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), after being nominated by President Joe Biden and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2021. As Assistant Secretary for Health, ADM Rachel Levine fights every day to improve the health and well-being of all Americans. She's working to help our nation overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and build a stronger foundation for a healthier future - one in which every American can attain their full health potential. ADM Levine also is the head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, one of the eight uniformed services.
NOT A REAL ADMIRAL.

The person to the right is Sam Brinton

Sam Brinton serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition (NE-8). In this role, Sam leads NE-8 and oversees its programs including the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology and the Office of Integrated Waste Management. NE-8 manages ongoing research and development related to long-term disposition of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Current priorities for Sam’s office include evaluating the feasibility of the direct disposal of dual-purpose casks; implementing high burn-up, large scale, long-term, dry storage cask research; and developing a consent-based siting process for consolidated, federal interim storage of spent nuclear fuel.

They both have jobs with the US Government but do not serves as US Representatives. They oversee government departments
 
Your source,
Raheem J. Kassam
Very dubious source. Just because you are a guest of the French Ambasadore does not make you a representative. I sincerely doubt any meaningful discussions took place at one of these social events.

Further what is your intent in posting this in the first place.

ARE YOU GAY BASHING THEM.

In this day and age, Gay bashing is a thing of the past. folks can be gay and should be judged on their merits not on their sexuallity.
 
Well if you want an apology then here it is. On the Twitter article it clearly states
"Transgender" is what I noticed and wondering why the lady's skirt and shoes
on the gentleman. It also states they were there to see the French Ambassador.
If the lady is recovering, regardless, my sincere Best Wishes to her for a Full
Recovery.
I surely didn't intend to offend YOU or anyone else.
If you will notice, I deleted this post as I got it wrong, for which I sincerely apologize.

If one of them is Pushing the Jab they are definitely NOT interested in my
health.
