I’ve been publishing a weekly compilation of ‘interesting’ and varied articles/posts (The Bulletin) on my website for the past few months that I think I will also begin sending out via this platform–usually every Wednesday. I try to keep the list focussed on issues that are relevant to ‘collapse’ (including but not exclusive to the sociocultural consequences/impacts) and avoid sharing paywalled ones. I hope you find some of interest…

8 Reasons Why Prepping Is Good For Your Mental State

If you have arrived here and get something out of my writing, please consider ordering the trilogy of my ‘fictional’ novel series, Olduvai (PDF files; only $9.99 Canadian), via my website or the link below — the ‘profits’ of which help me to keep my internet presence alive and first book available in print (and is available via various online retailers).

Attempting a new payment system as I am contemplating shutting down my site in the future (given the ever-increasing costs to keep it running).

If you are interested in purchasing any of the 3 books individually or the trilogy, please try the link below indicating which book(s) you are purchasing.

Costs (Canadian dollars):
Book 1: $2.99
Book 2: $3.89
Book 3: $3.89
Trilogy: $9.99

Feel free to throw in a ‘tip’ on top of the base cost if you wish; perhaps by paying in U.S. dollars instead of Canadian. Every few cents/dollars helps…
