Dr. Vernon Coleman offers some advice on how to survive the Great Reset future.
He advises we prepare for electricity blackouts by buying lamps, candles, and battery-powered tools, such as a small handheld electric saw. Learn to grow food, pay off debts and save money, as water, food and fuel will become very expensive in the future.

The following advice is taken from Vernon Coleman’s book `A Bigger Problem than Climate Change – The End of Oil’.
1. If possible, you should acquire alternative forms of heating and cooking. Do not rely on one energy source. If you have gas central heating, then you should have one or two electric heaters available. If you have to replace your oven, consider purchasing one which will enable you to cook with either gas or electricity. There is a chance that when one isn’t working, the other will be.
2. The most useful outdoor tool I have is a small, handheld, electric saw which cuts through quite thick branches. It has a rechargeable battery and is much safer than a large power saw. (There won’t be any medical services, so you don’t really want to have to sew your leg back on by yourself.) A small handheld power saw charges up quite quickly and can be recharged when the electricity comes on. You can also use your saw to chop up garden furniture and even some of the furniture indoors if you have no other way to keep warm and to heat water and food.
3. It is possible to buy car-style batteries which can be recharged from the mains – and kept charged. You can use one of these to enable you to watch a video as a treat.
4. Prepare yourself for electricity blackouts by buying lamps and candles. If you buy candles, don’t forget that you will need candle holders and matches. (And make sure that everyone in the family knows how to use them safely.) Camping shops and ironmongers sell brilliant camping lights which run on batteries. These can stand or hang so that you can still see to read, cook, eat, etc. in the evenings. Small torches which clip onto jackets or belts are brilliant. Head torches which run on batteries are brilliant – wherever you go, you have light.
5. Learn to grow food. If you have space, prepare a vegetable plot. Erect a greenhouse as a way to grow crops in a longer growing season – and to provide some protection from wildlife. It is possible to grow spinach, kale and carrots in a greenhouse pretty well all year round. Ideally, you should have a vegetable patch which is not open to the world. Thieves of the future will not be stealing television sets and mobile phones. They will be stealing potatoes and runner beans. If you grow your own vegetables, you will have to be prepared to protect them from thieves.
6. Do not take on any additional debt. Try to pay off any existing debts as soon as you can. Credit card debts are particularly expensive and can be a huge drain on your personal resources. If interest rates soar, your repayments could be crippling. Water and food are, like fuel, going to become extremely expensive. And the coming price rises in oil and food will be structural, not cyclical. Oil and food will never again be as plentiful or as cheap as they are now. Your savings could help you survive.
7. The owners of many websites now promote packs of survival food. These are often very expensive and difficult to store. The easiest food to store is rice. Buy packets of long-dated rice and keep them in a dry cupboard. You can buy packs of rice with vegetables. Buy long-dated pasta too. Buy herbs to add taste to otherwise bland meals. (It is remarkably easy to grow your own herbs. All you really need is a windowsill and some sunshine and a little water. Tins of beans aren’t difficult to store and will last far longer than their “Best Before” date.
8. For cooking, buy a camping stove or a barbecue set. Or buy a metal tripod which you can place on an indoor log or coal fire.
9. This could be a good time to examine your life. How many of the things you spend money on are essential to your health and happiness? How many of the things you buy turn out to be a burden rather than an asset? Every time you make a big purchase, consider not just the cash price but also the time price. How many hours did you have to work to earn the money to pay for it? If you are contemplating buying an electrical item that costs £500 and you earn £5 an hour net of taxes, then the item you’re thinking of buying will cost 100 hours of your life. Step off the consumer treadmill and you may feel immediate physical and mental benefits. More importantly, perhaps, you will be preparing yourself for the New World which the conspirators have planned for us – a world in which consumption is not going to be conspicuous.
10. Try to replace some of the more complex tools in your house with simpler tools that don’t need electricity. For example, a small hand drill may be slower and harder to use than an electric drill, but you will still be able to use it when there is no electricity. Accumulate simple, well-made hand tools to use around the house and garden. You can often buy good second-hand tools at auctions, in junk shops (if you can find one) and in charity shops.
11. This might be a time to start learning simple, practical skills so that you will be able to look after your home and your belongings without always being reliant on outside “experts.” Learning basic carpentry and basic plumbing will provide you with considerable freedom.
12. Don’t rely on the internet for advice. Without electricity, there won’t be any internet and so there won’t be any helpful videos to watch. Buy good, old-fashioned books full of practical advice on first aid, basic carpentry, basic plumbing, basic repair work and so on.

Some Comments
1 – It is not necessary to keep your house constantly heated, it is not going to die if it gets cold. YOU, the human, need to keep warm or else YOU will die. You can do that by wearing the right clothing by day and by night. Thermals and layers are key here. In Norway they have a saying
“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”
2 – My most useful outdoor tool is a bowsaw. It cuts through branches easily and is powered by hand, no electricity or other fuel is needed.
Spades, forks, hoes, rakes etc are also extremely useful.
3/4 – Thinking about car batteries for electricity is a ridiculous hark back to the 1950s and is inherently dangerous. They need venting and give off gasses and who wants dangerous crocodile clips around?! It’s 2026 for goodness sake !
Today all you need is a modern electric power station like those sold by ECOFLOW. Self-contained units that have proper safe 3-pin plug sockets built in to them and which can power all your electric devices including fridges, freezers, computers, phones, tools and so on. They also double up as emergency power backup supplies. You leave them plugged into the mains and plug your important devices into them (like freezers). If the mains supply goes off the unit immediately reverts to its battery supply which can last many hours. This will protect your valuable freezer food which would otherwise defrost overnight if the grid went down while you were asleep.

These units also mean you don’t need dangerous candles all over the place which might start a house fire. You just plug your table lights into them (off a multiway extension if needed).
5 – Growing fruit and veg will imo become essential for numerous reasons not least to ensure that anything you eat isn’t DNA altered, doesn’t contain nanoparticles but also because food shortages are undoubtedly coming. Ensure you buy heritage seeds which produce food with its own seeds that can be subsequently sown again and again.
If you don’t have land or garden space you can cover your patio/yard space in pots and boxes and still grow tons of food. I’ve grown radishes, onions, leeks, lettuces, aubergines, squash, courgettes, potatoes, beans and much more on a patio space.
6 – Getting free from debt is definitely great advice. If you have a mortgage consider converting it into an “offset mortgage” where interest is calculated daily. If you put all your available savings in there it can massively reduce the overall interest payments and bring the term of the mortgage down by many years. Own your house/home so that banks can’t repossess it. Ditch silly subscriptions that are really unnecessary. TV/Movie service subscriptions, mobile phone subscriptions, smart device subscriptions, magazine subscriptions and so on. Don’t waste your money on booze, cigarettes/vapes and other unnecessary habits.
7 – Create a long term food supply. There is always somewhere to store it even in a small home. Under the stairs, under beds, in a garage etc. Re-purpose a cloak room and put shelves in and store food there.
Keep a variety of foods that YOU REGULARLY EAT. Pulses, grains, rice, tins of tomatoes, tinned veg and fruit. Tins of golden syrup, treacle and honey last ages and are good for cooking. Plenty of cooking oil. Tins of tuna, mackerel, sardines are cheap and last ages. So too jars of olives, sweet peppers, jams, marmalades and chutneys. Plenty of tea bags and coffee if you drink those regularly and some water.
Supplement the food supply with other basic necessities inc toilet paper, meds, vitamins, food containers, cooking foil, sandwich bags, freezer bags.
8 – Some other things.
a) You can make your own washing powder by mixing a 1kg bag of soda crystals (£2 per bag, available in most supermarkets) with 4 grated soap bars. Works perfectly and is much cheaper per wash than wash powders and pods. Faith In Nature sell good soap bars without nasty additives.
e.g. box 18 Lavender bars £48
https://www.faithinnature.co.uk/products/bulk-buy-soap-bars-box-of-18-unwrapped-natural-lavender-soaps
So 1 bag soda crystals and 4 bars soap cost approx £12 and will see you right for many wash cycles. Just throw a big scoop of the stuff in your machine per wash.
b) Make sure all the lights in your house are LED lights. Get rid of old style bulbs everywhere which cost far more to power.
c) Consider a good quality chimenea or fire pit. They will help keep you warm outside and are extremely good for mental well-being as its very relaxing watching a fire. You’ll need wood or coal to fire them of course.
Some you can also cook on if needed.
d) Learn to make sourdough bread. Yeast may become unavailable from shops when/if they become empty. You can make your own with flour and water and some know-how. Acquire that know-how NOW before its too late. Making your own bread is empowering, mentally satisfying and hugely nutritious and the smell is amazing.
Knowledge is power. Preparation removes the fear and panic from emergency situations.
Form a militia.
As ever, Vernon is crass and stupid, enough said.
