5 Useful Tips For Camping In The Rain

Even if you know the weather forecast during your camping trip, there’s always a chance that it will rain so you always have to come prepared.

If it does, the fun doesn’t end there. In fact, there are plenty of ways you can make your stay comfortable and even more fun even though it’s pouring outside. Remember, don’t think of it as an inconvenience, think of it as a challenge!

Try These Awesome Tips for Camping in Wet Weather:

Invest in the Right TentTent with water drops-Camping In The Rain

The outdoors are unpredictable so you always have to be prepared no matter what the weather is. If you plan to go camping during the rainy season, buying a good quality tent with built-in vents. The vents will help prevent condensation inside. If purchasing a new one is out of the question, you can opt to re-proof your old one. Use a tent proofer spray to restore your tent’s ability to repel water.

Bring a GazeboLarge family tent and gazebo on Welsh coastal campsite-Camping In The Rain

A gazebo will help greatly when you’re camping in wet weather. It will shelter and protect you, your tent, and your gear from the rain. This means that you can still enjoy being outside of your tent without getting wet.

Think About StorageShiny Ziploc Bag storage bag with black background-Camping In The Rain

Resealable plastic bags will be useful for storing clothes, toiletries, and other small items when you’re outdoors. They are waterproof, too, that’s why they’re ideal for the rainy season. Don’t forget to store wet and dry items separately and make sure you have dry clothes to keep you warm when you’re inside the tent. Seal food items tightly to keep them fresh and to avoid water from getting in.

Don’t Forget to Protect YourselfBackpack and desk of free space for your decoration-Camping In The Rain

Your gear is all set, but you also need the right clothing and accessories for yourself – nobody wants to catch a cold and be unable to enjoy while out on an outdoor trip. Arm yourself with a waterproof jacket, trousers, and boots. Keep bug repellants ready (many tend to come out in wet weather) and pack a microfiber towel – they’re compact, absorbent, and dries quickly.

Plan Fun ActivitiesGroup of close friends laughing together around camp fire-Camping In The Rain

There are still some fun outdoor activities you can do even when it’s pouring. Play board games, bring out the guitar or tell ghost stories with kids to keep them entertained.

Camping in the rain doesn’t have to be a hassle – with the right gear and attitude, you’re still sure to have a memorable trip!

15 Fishing Hacks for the Everyday Fisherman [PODCAST]

15 Fishing Hacks for the Everyday Fisherman

Anyone that has been around TSP for any length of time knows that one of my real joys in life is fishing. I love to fish and I mean no matter what or what type of fishing I love it. 10 days on the beach in the amazing waters of Sanibel Island Florida like I just did, yes, please.

Yet I still enjoy sliding down a bank at the back of a small park to see what is in a small creek running on the back boundary and it doesn’t bother me a bit if it is just some green sunfish or pan-sized bullhead cats. From small park ponds, limited river bank access, or top-notch stripers on a guided boat, I do not care. I prefer fishing to just about any pastime.

And I have for most of my life! I started really fishing in earnest in the early 80s when I was like 8 years old. Kids were more free at the time and our apartments had a pond of about 2 acres. From that time on I have fished almost any and every time I have had the opportunity. We are talking more than 40 years at this point. As you may imagine I have learned a few hacks along the way and today I give you some of my favorites.

Today’s show is going to be a lot like finding an old crusty fisherman in a bar somewhere and hearing some of his best tips and tricks. I hope you enjoy it and put some of it to work for yourself.

10 Prepping Mistakes You Need To Avoid At All Costs

Today I’m going to share the top 10 prepping mistakes you should avoid at all costs.

My name is Jack, and I’ve been involved in the preparedness community my entire life.

For example, I grew up on a rural farm in Iowa. Times were tough in the 80s, and we had to make ends meet. So we were forced into living a resilient lifestyle just to survive.

I began sharing what I know and learned back in 2013 here at SkilledSurvival.com. Since then, this website has helped millions of people, and with that comes lots of questions.

People send me emails about the prepper mistakes they’ve made. Sharing stories about their mistakes, their confusion, their anxiety.

So here are the top 10 prepper mistakes you should avoid:

1. Getting Overwhelmed


The very first prepping mistake I see a lot of folks make is getting overwhelmed right out of the gate.

If you’re new to survival and preparedness, you may have already made this mistake. But it’s ok, getting overwhelmed is natural.

There’s so much information to process. For example, there’s the basics of stockpiling water and food. Or you can go straight into aquaponic systems and quickly feel in over your head. It’s so advanced.

That’s why you need a program or mentor to break it down for you or the 10 basic prepping steps you need to take. And the good news I’ve created that for you.

This post shows you the 10 basic preparedness steps so you don’t get overwhelmed. It starts off with two weeks of food, two weeks of water, a hand-crank radio, etc.

It will help you make meaningful progress without feeling overwhelmed. It’ll give you the confidence you’re doing the right things, in the right order.

2. Trying To Predict The Future


The next prepping mistake a lot of people make is trying to predict the future.

Most people spend way too much time and energy trying to figure out the next big crisis.

For example, will it be:

  • another pandemic?
  • a massive financial collapse?
  • a supervolcano eruption?
  • a massive drought?

Sure, this sort of thinking can be helpful and “entertaining” to some degree. But it’s not really helping you get prepared. Instead, I like to prepare for ALL potential crises.

I try to avoid focusing on anything I can’t control. And what the next widespread disaster COULD be is not something I can control.

So what CAN I control?

I can control are how resilient my family is to anything the future may hold. Focusing my energy on improving my readiness instead of spending time-consuming news.

Sure, it’s wise to be informed. But there’s a point at which you’re no longer being “informed”. At some point, your just not spending your time wisely.

So focus on what you CAN control and AVOID trying to predict the future.

3. Comparing Your Progress To Others


The next prepping mistake is comparing yourself to others in the prepper community.

There are a lot of people who’ve been doing this a really long time. And you should look to them for inspiration, not envy.

I was even guilty of this when I first got started. I’d watch videos and read forums and quickly become discouraged.

That can be so disheartening.

That’s why you should try to focus primarily on what you can control. And comparing will only get in the way of your progress.

I heard a quote one time that said,

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”

When you compare, it steals a little bit of your joy.

You’re excited to get started, you’re hopeful, but as soon as you start comparing, and say things like:

“I’ll never make it. I’ll never be good enough.”

Comparison can undermine your progress and make you feel depressed and anxious.

That sort of thinking is stealing your joy. Don’t let that happen.

4. Over Sharing Progress With Neighbors


The next mistake people make is sharing way too much information with other people. This is especially true if you live near neighbors you don’t trust.

So try not to get too excited and start blabbing to everyone about your progress.

Also, avoid a food delivery at your house and next door neighbors across the street asking,

“Hey, what’d you just get? I saw it come to your garage and you pulled it in, all that food.”

So keep your preps under wraps.

And if you have young kids, you’ve got to watch them. Because they’ll go to school and if you’re into this and you’re talking about it. They may start sharing your progress with their friends and family.

You don’t want everybody to know that you have all these prepper supplies, right? When times get tough you don’t want your neighbors knowing about your preps.

I recommend only sharing your preps with those you truly trust. I’m talking about family members or really good friends.

5. Not Calculating Your Food And Water Requirements


Next up, people buy food and water without knowing how much they ultimately need.

First, you need to decide your target amount of calories and water.

If you’re new to this, 2 weeks is a reasonable goal, but of course, feel free to go higher than that if you are able.

With food, we have a chart to help you out.

The right amount of replacement calories per day depends on your age and your activity level.

Once you have the number of replacement calories per day per person, you add up each family member. This gives you your entire family’s daily calories needs.

Now, multiply that number by how many days you want your stockpile to last.

So yes, you need to do some very basic math. But once you have that number, you know exactly how much food to buy.

The same thing with water but water is even easier.

Instead of having to know how many calories, I recommend 1 gallon per person, per day. Then just multiply it by how many days you want.

Some “experts” recommend you go with a half-gallon per person per day, but I think that’s a big prepping mistake.

If you ever get a chance to do an emergency practice run, I bet the amount of water you’ll need will surprise you. Because you need it for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and consumption.

And if you’re in the heat of the summer, you’re going to consume a lot of water. So prepare for that.

And if you have any animals, like a dog or a cat, they use water as well. If you have farm animals, oh my goodness, now you got to provide for them.

The bottom line:

I’d rather have too much water than not enough. So I go with 1 gallon per person, per day.

6. Afraid Of Making Small Mistakes


The next mistake I see is kind of funny because people are so afraid of making a mistake that they don’t move forward.

If your reading this article, that might be you. I wrote a post over at TheResilientLife called Failure Is The Secret Sauce To Success. And I truly believe that.

People overanalyze and plan in order to avoid ANY mistake. They’re so worried about mistakes they just plan and plan but never move forward in a meaningful way.

But forward momentum is critical to success.

Sure, you want to avoid making any major mistakes, but after that, move forward.

And if you make a mistake, it’s okay. You just need to make sure your mistakes are not fatal.

For example, don’t spend every dollar you own on one thing and then that’s it. Instead, make small mistakes, learn from those mistakes and keep going.

That’s the way we humans learn. We make small mistakes and then adjust. “Experts” tend to become experts by pushing forward through mistakes.

So don’t be afraid to make a few small prepping mistakes.

7. Focusing On Only One Aspect Of Preparedness


People spend too much money or time on just one aspect of preparedness and resiliency.

It’s a big, broad topic so you can’t spend all your energy and time only on food. Because you have water and communications and escape/evasion plans and on and on.

There are so many preparedness topics and you should try to spend a little bit of time on each one.

And again, that’s why I put together a list of 10 basic steps to basic preparedness. I want to help you get your bases covered before you start going down the rabbit hole. If you deep dive too far into any given topic it could consume all your time and your whole life.

For example, you may decide that aquaponics is the solution to all your problems. And it could be an excellent solution for you.

But I want you to get your 10 basics steps in place before going down that rabbit hole.

Don’t get me wrong, I love aquaponics, but that’s just one aspect of things many things you can look at. For example, there are topics such as:

I just want to make sure that you got your bases covered before you deep dive. So make sure you’re spreading your time out in all the areas of preparedness.

8. Ending Up On Too Many Email Lists


The next prepping mistake I see too many folks make is ending up on way too many email lists.

Perhaps you read an article on a survival site and then there’s a pop-up and they go, oh, okay – I’ll put my email in. And then you go to another site and there’s another pop-up or a scroll up.

The next thing you know, you’re on 10 or 15 different site’s email lists. And I’ll be honest, most of these lists are not putting your best interests first.

You see, there’s a lot of marketers in the survival space nowadays. Often, their sole purpose is to generate as much money off you as quickly as possible. And they’re very good at convincing you,

“This is the exact course/item you need to solve all your problems.”

But it’s just not true.

Now, there are some good products out there, and there are good people in the industry. And I like to think that we’re one of them.

Sure, we’ll share some courses and items that make sense. But we test and make sure the products are of high quality.

But there’s a lot of people that don’t. Instead, they just say,

“How much can I get paid to send this offer to their email list.”

And boom, they send it and make good money doing so. But that just leaves you feeling overwhelmed.

That’s why I recommend you sign up for only the lists that provide FREE value upfront. It’s ok if they provide some courses and things that… But only if they’re doing it in a way you can trust.

It’s not just blindly sending you stuff all the time.

We send offers, it’s true. It’s a one-way we generate some money here at Skilled Survival. That way we can keep producing tons of FREE content for everybody.

But we also have a few products and courses to help achieve your goals.

9. Avoiding Intimidating Gear / Supplies


The next prepping mistake to avoid is investing in critical survival gear that seems too advanced.

A perfect example of this is a gas mask.

You see images of people with a gas mask and perhaps you feel only doomsday preppers buy those. And to some folks, they look cool, and for others, it can look really scary and intimidating.

But gas masks are not that difficult to understand. We have a great post on gas masks to educate you. And then, at the end of the post, we show you our favorite gas masks.

But it’s a very important piece of your basic preparedness starting plan.

For example, what if there’s a chemical attack or a nuclear attack and the air you breathe is dangerous?

Or perhaps the next pandemic is 10 times more deadly than the one we just had. In such a case, you’re not going to the grocery store with a face mask. You’ll only go to the store if you have a gas mask.

Why? Because you’ll want to filter EVERYTHING through these masks.

And if you don’t own one, good luck getting one after the event happens. A gas mask is something you need to buy ahead of time.

For example, people were trying to buy gas masks in March and April after the pandemic was first taking root. But they were having to wait up to eight months for a gas mask.

So, if the pandemic was 10 times more deadly, you put your order in and you’re dead before it arrives. So don’t wait on gas masks. Don’t be intimidated; it’s an important piece of critical gear.

Do some research and then you can go ahead and buy a good one.

I recommend at least one per family if your budget’s tight. If you have some more resources, I prefer you get one for each family member with extra filters as well.

Jump Over River10. Saying “I’ll Never Bug Out”


The next big prepping mistake I see often is people say,

“I’m NEVER bugging out. No matter the crisis, I’m staying put in my house.”

And for the most part, you’re probably right.

But what happens if there’s a wildfire that gets out of control. We’re talking about immediate evacuation.

We’re seeing more of these out-of-control wildfires out west nowadays. That’s why you need a bug-out bag. A bag of YOUR supplies and YOUR gear you can grab out the door.

I’m talking about some:

You need a bag with supplies that are YOURS and only YOURS. That way you won’t be dependent on handouts or the kindness of other people.

You have a little bit of resiliency right there on your back.

Everyone should own one because you just never know when you have to evacuate.

Now, some people are disabled, and some people just don’t want to leave their prepper supplies. But recently there were folks in the last wildfire season, who decided not to leave.

And they perished because of it.

I’m sure they loved their home and didn’t want to leave, but that’s foolish. You can replace “stuff”, but not your life.

So just grab your bag and get the heck out of dodge until it clears.

11. BONUS – Trying To Go It All Alone


The last prepping mistake I see people make is they try to go it all alone.

Now, my earlier mistake about oversharing, you’ve got to be careful about that. You don’t want to overshare, but you also don’t want to do this all alone.

For example, I’m helping you avoid mistakes I’ve seen other people make. And mistakes I’ve made myself. Why? To make your path to resiliency smoother.

Going it alone will mean you’ll make way more mistakes than necessary. It’s a really hard road to get from the point you’re at now to where you want to be alone.

My job is to help you reach your goals without wasting time, energy, or money in the wrong places.

That’s why I think the answer to the lone wolf mistake is to become a part of our community called The Resilient Life.

The Resilient Life

You should join our online community of like-minded people called, TheResilientLife.

Inside TheResilintLife we’ve broken down each aspect of preparedness into different preparedness badges. And underneath each badge are a list of prepping requirements.

These requirements are activities perform and as you meet them, you get to check them off.

And what’s cool is, as you check them off we keep track and give you a score. It’s called your readiness score. You can go from 0 up to a 200 readiness score.

So as you get started, you can check off actions you’ve already done. That way, you’ll get an accurate preparedness score you’re at today. And then you highlight some preparedness actions you want to focus on next.

And as you complete these next steps, you’ll see your score go up and up.

Perhaps you start at a score of, let’s say 50, and then three weeks later, after you’ve done a few activities, you’re at 60. And then you focus on some more actions and move up to an 80.

You’ll see your progress (and watch your resiliency) go up.

We’ve also tied The Resilient Life to an exclusive Facebook group. That way, you can share your successes or questions with the group. And these fellow preppers are there to help you.

It’s sharing of information to help you succeed. When you have a question, they’re there to help and answer it and say, hey, this is how I did it or this is how you can do it too.

And people are sharing some really cool stuff on this Facebook group.

For example, people are sharing their:

  • bug out evacuation plans
  • bug out bag supplies
  • the best prepper foods to store
  • the water storage containers they choose
  • etc.

These are real people sharing real information with each other. And it’s very cool to see.

So with TheResilientLife, you get to a tool that:

  1. Tracks your preparedness progress
  2. Helps you choose the next best preparedness actions to take
  3. Motivates you and holds you accountable via the community

So I think you should take a few minutes and check out TheResilientLife.

I truly believe it’s the best way to help you avoid as many prepping mistakes as possible.

Australian Cities Have Locked Down 10 Million People Over “Delta Variant” Fears

Four major cities in Australia have forced around 10 million people to lockdown as prisoners in their own homes once again as the ruling class continues to fearmonger over the “delta variant.” Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, and Sydney residents are all now in lockdown as 23 new cases reported in the past 24 hours.

Out of 10 million, there are 23 “cases” of the delta variant of COVID-19.  The math on that doesn’t warrant a lockdown or anything even remotely close.  This is all about fear and once we remove that fear, the elites and ruling classes have nothing to feed off of.  The sad fact is, fearful people make great obedient slaves. At this point, many don’t even understand what a life free from fear would even look like.

The Science of Fear: How The Elitists Use it to Control Us & How to Break Free

“Delta Variant” Fear Mongering Reason Confirmed By MSM

Perth began a four-day snap lockdown from midnight on Tuesday, while Brisbane will start a three-day stay-at-home order from Tuesday evening, joining Darwin and Sydney, which have already imposed the measures over a rise in infections.

Queensland’s state premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, stated that the restrictions in major cities were needed because “overseas arrivals” had brought the virus into the country. –RT

Amid “concern” about the spread throughout Australia of the Delta variant first detected in India, New Zealand restricted its “travel bubble” with Australia. (This is also likely to keep people panicked and unable to look at things critically and logically.) From July 5, the New Zealand government has said it will begin to reopen the corridor, but only for regions that have not reported any new cases. Permanent travel bans are coming.  They cannot control people who move about often and seeing how ultimate totalitarian control of everything is the goal, we should know travel will be banned.

Australia’s ruling class has now said that since the makers of the COVID-19 jab cannot be sued, neither can those doctors or health care workers who deliver the shot. The country’s prime minister, Scott Morrison, announced that his government would make it mandatory for some slaves, care and quarantine hotel workers, to have a Covid-19 jab, as well as offering under-60s who sign an indemnity form the option of having the AstraZeneca vaccine. A new ‘no-fault’ scheme indemnifies a doctor from being sued if a patient has an adverse reaction to the jab, and anyone who does is entitled to compensation instead from the federal government.

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Are Legally Not Vaccines

This is not going to be isolated to Australia.  If the ruling class of the United States believes for one second they can lock down the public again, expect to be locked down.  Eyes had better open and quickly. They are really pushing this delta variant and it’s only a matter of time before we face the master’s wrath here in the U.S.

Major U.S. Cities Race To “Re-Fund The Police” As Utter Lawlessness Reigns From Coast To Coast

The great liberal experiment of “defunding the police” turned out to be a completely and utter disaster.  In major cities all over the United States, hundreds of millions of dollars of funding were stripped away from police departments in 2020, and many on the left were hailing this is a huge step in the right direction.  Of course it was actually a huge step in the wrong direction.  Crime rates soared throughout the remainder of 2020, and they have gone even higher in 2021.  In fact, Fox Business is reporting that the number of homicides in the U.S. is up 24 percent since the month of January…

One year after the movement to “defund” police saw cities slash budgets and cut funding, the U.S. has seen an uptick in crime. Homicides alone are up 24% since January and more than 70% of people in a recent Fox News Poll said they believe crime is on the rise nationally. As a result, the pendulum may be swinging back in favor of the police.

The good news is that many of the large cities that initially reduced funding for the police are now reversing course.  Shockingly, this includes some of the most liberal cities in the entire country

Cities like New York City, Oakland, Baltimore, Minneapolis and Los Angeles are planning to reinstate tens of millions for the construction of new police precincts, increase police department budgets, among other plans to bankroll more efforts to confront the uptick in crime.

The faster that we can get more police officers out into the streets the better, because things are getting really crazy out there.

In Chicago, crime rates are higher “in every category” so far in 2021…

Violent crime is up in the city in every category. Carjackings, about half committed by juveniles, are happening all over Chicago, while expressway shootings are at levels never seen before with 93 so far this year versus 39 at the same time last year, according to police.

Unless you really need to travel into the heart of Chicago, I would strongly advise avoiding it.

Violent criminals dominate vast portions of the city now, and one local attorney that was interviewed about the crime wave says that he has never “felt more unsafe” that he does right now…

“I’ve never felt more unsafe than I do now,” said Steve Burrows, a 48-year-old attorney who has called Chicago home his entire life. “I work downtown so I’m here every day during the day but I won’t come down here at night or on the weekend.”

For a long time, New York City had levels of violent crime that were much lower than Chicago, but now the Big Apple seems determined to catch up.

According to the latest numbers, the number of shootings in New York City is up 68 percent so far this year.

At this point, a gun battle could potentially erupt just about anywhere in the city even during broad daylight.  One particularly alarming gun battle that just took place happened right in front of two very young children

A 10-year-old girl and her kid brother were trampled and nearly shot when their trip to buy some candy became a first-hand look at the city’s escalating gun violence, according to cops and chilling video.

At least a dozen shots whizzed by the terrified children as the black-masked gunman repeatedly aimed for his fallen target — who knocked the kids down while trying to escape.

The shocking footage shows the 5-year-old boy’s legs shaking in fear at one point amid the bloodshed.

Can you imagine how traumatized those children must be after seeing that?

The wild nightly gatherings in Washington Square Park continue to be an epicenter for the growing troubles in NYC.  Over the weekend, chaos erupted in the park when a “madman” with a taser and a knife suddenly caused the gathered crowd to break into a stampede

Washington Square Park again descended into bedlam and bloodshed Saturday, when a madman waving a Taser and a knife sparked a wild stampede that injured a woman who was “run over” by the scattering crowd, police said.

Jason McDermott, 42, stoked the latest panic when he allegedly brandished the pair of weapons in the midst of a squabble at around 12:40 a.m., as hundreds filled the Greenwich Village park during a booze- and drug-fueled rager — a now weekly bane for neighbors.

Unfortunately, so far authorities have refused to put an end to the all-night raves in Washington Square Park, and the head organizer of the parties is pledging that they will continue.

As funding is restored to police departments all over America, hopefully this will help to bring order to our city streets.

But just having enough police officers is not enough.  The politicians have also got to be willing to allow them to do their jobs.

And once the police have arrested violent criminals, prosecutors have got to be willing to put them behind bars.  Unfortunately, that is simply not happening in many cases.  For example, hundreds of violent rioters that were arrested in New York City last year have had their cases completely dropped

Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looting and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer.

After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday.

Things are even worse when you specifically look at the Bronx.

Of all the rioters and looters that were arrested in the Bronx, hardly anyone has gone to jail at all

NYPD data reviewed by the NBC New York I-Team shows 118 arrests were made in the Bronx during the worst of the looting in early June.

Since then, the NYPD says the Bronx DA and the courts have dismissed most of those cases – 73 in all. Eighteen cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts like trespassing, counts which carry no jail time.

When I use the term “lawlessness”, I am not just referring to the violent criminals in our streets.  I am also referring to the negligent prosecutors and politicians which steadfastly refuse to uphold our laws.

Sadly, as our culture steadily deteriorates the violence in our streets is only going to get worse.

UK Lockdown Architect Apologizes For Breaking COVID Rules Over Affair With Aide, Won’t Resign

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. 

Update (0815ET): British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was “very sorry” after pictures of him kissing and embracing his top aide, a friend hired last year, were splashed on the front page of the Sun newspaper. However, he has said he will not resign.

As Summit News’ Paul Joseph Watson detailed earlier, yet another architect of the UK’s lockdown has been caught violating it as photos revealed Health Secretary Matt Hancock passionately kissing his mistress at a time when Brits were being told they shouldn’t even shake hands.

“Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been having a secret affair with his closest aide,” reports the Sun. “He cheated on his wife with Gina Coladangelo, 43, who he hired last year with taxpayers’ money, as Covid gripped Britain.”

The photos were taken on May 6, when restrictions that prevented people from meeting indoors and even shaking hands with each other were still in place.

Hancock’s affair almost certainly was going on for much longer before that.

According to a government whistleblower, it was “shocking that Mr. Hancock was having an affair in the middle of a pandemic with an adviser and friend he used public money to hire.”

Hancock has denied any wrongdoing and claims no rules were broken.

His behavior mimics that of Professor Neil Ferguson, whose warning that 500,000 Brits could die of COVID-19 unless a lockdown was imposed became the basis for government policy.

Ferguson repeatedly violated the lockdown in order to have sex with the 38-year-old married mother of two Antonia Staats, who traveled across London to visit Ferguson on several occasions.

How serious is the virus when the very people warning us about how deadly it is are repeatedly violating the very rules they impose on everyone else?

As we highlight in the video below, Hancock and Ferguson are far from isolated cases when it comes to the same elitists who filled us with dread about COVID-19 continually breaking COVID-19 lockdown rules.
