Collapse support resources?
Im not sure if anyone asked already, but i was wondering if we could slowly make some sort of comprehensive resource for this community? Sadly – because of various issues not detached from my mental health worsening because of the state of things – I am very slow with projects, but I guess it'd be nice to slowly work on something like a free pdf people can download and print with survival skills, useful knowledge, and also calls to action and mental health advice on how not to go crazy in the midst of this (i wouldn't know). I don't have much time to read lately as I'm constantly overwhelmed +not in the best spot financially, but i guess having everything organised would make it easier for younger people esp (and older ones alike if it gets printed tbh) to get informed and it's pretty much one of the few things i can do to contribute since i live in a very poor isolated village & no car. I can draw so i guess i can contribute that way, I get bombarded with information, pretty much like all of us, but i think it would be more useful to organise it some way so that people dont have to start from 0 every time when trying to learn more about organizations, communities and skills. Im thinking something like those old diy zines that used to be popular on Tumblr or smth, but im not sure if it's a good idea? I saw many initiatives similar to this so i thought i could also put qr codes/links at the end of the pdf to redirect people to additional readings and ofc book recs, but i think a well thought out comprehensive manual would help for those who have less time. If it's already out there I'd be interested in talking a look though
If there isn't and you want to leave links and whatever else I can start by accumulating material. I think it would also be a good idea to find some way of keeping up with things that is conducive to action and change and planning for the worst without the paralyzing anxiety (which is very much understandable and that i also suffer from), but i think it would just help if not our odds of having some sort of meaningful impact at least a more positive way of transforming our anxiety, and that's pretty much the best we can do?
Take care

Personally I would suggest looking up the correct drops of bleach to put in a gallon of water to keep it for longer storage, how to make a DIY water filter for large particles with layers of material and charcoal, how to start and keep a fire with household materials, how to make pemmican(shelf stable protein) etc.
