Welcome to When/If

A Leftist Guide to Preparing for a Changing World

My name is Eric Shonkwiler. I’m the author of works of apocalyptic fiction, a security professional, and a leftist. This newsletter is meant to help those who are beginning to see the need for preparedness, but are dismayed by the conservative bent to most websites and guides. If you’re just starting to prep, or are tired of wading through pages that look like ads on Fox News, you’ve come to the right place.

When/If features basic, step-by-step guides on readying yourself, your home, and your people for whatever emergency may be coming down the pike, along with dissections of today’s major events, providing context for your preparations. From building a bugout bag, gardening to supplement your food supply, to buying green gun lubricant, When/If takes on the typical issues of prepping, from the left.
