What Happens If Our Resources Run Out?

As we look around us at how our society operates it’s tempting to think that what was once will always be and many resources we simply take for granted. However, consider this: Australia has just 21 days supply of petrol and diesel and around 60 days of LPG.

We still have reserves of oil in the Bass Strait plus those being operated off the west coast of Australia plus those in the north of Australia. The problem is that the remaining fuel distillation plants (just four of them) can only supply around 84,000 barrels per day. We use around 240,000 barrels per day, so we have to import petrol and diesel from Singapore and South Korea.

The problem here is not if, but when, China will become even more assertive and close off the sea lanes between those two sources. Should that happen, let’s consider the probable scenarios. If the fuel supply is cut off, it would be no surprise that the military and the emergency services (police, fire, and ambulance) will have the bulk of the remaining diesel sequestered for their use. Petrol is not the concern here, as will become clear in a moment, since we can usually find alternative sources of transport.

It’s a common statement that if we eat, wear, use, or drink anything at all that we’ve purchased, then it was delivered by a truck. So the question is this: without sufficient diesel to fill the tanks of the trucks delivering food and other essential items to the supermarkets, how will you get what you and your family need to survive?

Some people have as much as a week or two of meat and vegetables in their freezer, and some supplies in their pantries. But what do you do if the situation goes on for more than two weeks, or if you have even less than a two-week supply? You starve. You and your family.

And this is just one possible scenario that could affect you and your family. There’s so much going on in the global economic and geopolitical arenas that there are many, many situations that could impinge negatively on your life.

Therein lies the reason for this website. We aim to provide you with the tools and information to prepare yourself to not only survive but to thrive should such a situation arise. Consider this site an insurance policy against disasters. You probably have comprehensive car insurance even though you probably haven’t had an accident in years, even decades. You may well have home and contents insurance even though you’ve never been broken into or had your house damaged. Insurance is more about peace of mind than actually using it.

Hopefully you won’t need to use the information we supply, but should the world come tumbling down around you, how will you provide for you and your family? Should tension between China and the West become even more strained, and the almost inevitable conflict from that situation arise, Australia is in a very dangerous position with regard to its fuel supply.

So, if having insurance against such events (by way of information on how to make your own food, soap, and more, or how to provide first aid and remedies for ailments) sounds worthwhile, sign up today to register your interest, and we’ll start providing that information as soon as we go fully public.
