I don't know how reliable her information is, but I found this on the NASA website. The situation doesn't sound near as bad as she infers it will be. But then maybe I'm just a sucker to the vast elitist conspiracy that is keeping all of this news from us. I will probably be one of the 2/3's of all the smug sycophants that will die after the collapse of the global electrical grid. Probably from hanging myself from a nearby birch tree. I can't imagine sitting in my apt all day not looking at SOME glowing screen.

"In the past 200 years, Earth’s magnetic field has weakened about nine percent on a global average. Some people cite this as “evidence” a pole reversal is imminent, but scientists have no reason to believe so. In fact, paleomagnetic studies show the field is about as strong as it’s been in the past 100,000 years, and is twice as intense as its million-year average. While some scientists estimate the field’s strength might completely decay in about 1,300 years, the current weakening could stop at any time.

Plant and animal fossils from the period of the last major pole reversal don’t show any big changes. Deep ocean sediment samples indicate glacial activity was stable. In fact, geologic and fossil records from previous reversals show nothing remarkable, such as doomsday events or major extinctions."---

Yeah, it's in the same territory as the fear of GMO that Europeans have, that she has likewise espoused before. Compared to many of the male survivalists (like Canadian Prepper), she seems to have ventured into the various doomsday stuff less than them in the past. But I guess when you've covered just about every angle of bushcraft in your stock of videos, those are the kind of themes left (i.e., women eventually join the club, too).

Like paranormal and political subforums, the reader/viewer needs to primarily be browsing for entertainment or recreational value ("welcome to the tabloids and pro-wrestling"), and beware of taking anything serious. (Heck, why am I not being more inclusive -- that even extends to science publication itself these days, when it comes to reliability.)

Though when confined to actual wilderness affairs -- the survival, construction, camping, and hunting techniques of these YouTubers can be potentially legit and useful. And her segments about European news (what's going on there) can be interesting, in the sense of providing an indigenous perspective or POV on what's transpiring there.

I'm inclined to agree that a big calamity is coming.

But I don't think that it will be a disaster that strikes suddenly. It's more likely to be a slow and gradual unraveling as society falls apart and everything goes to hell. We are already seeing its early stages all around us, and it's likely to get worse rather than better.

It's like Romans might have felt in the early 400's. We can live lives of individual luxury pretending it's not happening, just as those Romans consoled themselves with their belief that Rome was eternal. Western civilization and Western values are no more eternal than Classical Greco-Roman civilization was.

I sense a new Dark Age descending.

I sense a new Dark Age descending.

Witchburnings, levitating saints, alchemy, and the Black Plague. Sounds like fun..
