Preparation and disaster-specific learning can only take you so far, but http://collapse.reddit.com http://collapse.reddit.com is a serviceable overview of that part. http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com and http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/ http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/ have a more nuanced view of social and economic collapse; 1950s style "nuclear armageddon" style survivalism is unlikely to suffice in the real world. For the last nail in the coffin of "guns and independence" style survivalism, try the War Nerd's treatment of the topic: http://exiledonline.com/war-nerd-apocalypse-never/ http://exiledonline.com/war-nerd-apocalypse-never/. I wish I could figure a way out of his unpalatable dilemma: convincingly join a large church in a rural area long before the collapse, or die shortly after it happens. (edited for tone--I'm an undeservedly arrogant bastard everywhere, but it only comes across as charming face to face)
