Collapse-Proof: Ancient Strategies for a Failing Future

What collapses first when systems fail?
When money freezes, food disappears, and digital identity breaks, most people will be unprepared. But history shows a different kind of survivor—those who lived on the margins, not through power, but through skill, community, and self-reliance.
This video explores how peasants outlived empires and what their forgotten strategies teach us about resilience today.
From selective resistance to practical decentralization, we ask the hard questions: What still works when the grid fails?
What part of you survives without apps, banks, or state approval?
This isn’t paranoia. It’s pattern recognition.
Most people won’t see it coming. But those who do have time to adapt, connect, and build a life that no system can fully control.
Real escape isn’t found on a map. It’s found in the skills you carry, the people you trust, and the life you choose to live.
