In the wake of alarming predictions for 2026 from a figure dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus', a prominent doomsday prepper has laid out her fundamental guide to surviving any major emergency. The advice comes as concerns grow over global instability, artificial intelligence, and environmental pressures.
Building Resilience Against a Fragile System
Gubba, a 25-year-old content creator from Washington with two million Instagram followers, has spent years preparing for worst-case scenarios. She argues that preparedness is shifting from a fringe interest to a necessity. "When supply chains wobble, governments print money like confetti," she stated in a recent interview. "Global instability grows, preparedness stops being a 'fringe hobby' and becomes common sense."
Her philosophy centres on reducing reliance on vulnerable global systems. She advocates for building strong local networks, strengthening home provisions, and acquiring practical skills. "Skills beat predictions every time," Gubba emphasised, urging people to learn to grow food, store staples safely, and maintain independence from digital infrastructures that could fail.
On her homestead, Gubba practices what she preaches. She raises her own animals, produces broths, soups, home-canned meats, and soaps, and even creates her own skincare line, Arvoti. For protection, she maintains a collection of firearms.
The Essential Bug-Out Bag for World War III
When asked what she would pack in an emergency 'bug-out bag' for a scenario like World War III, Gubba listed vital, no-frills items. Her essentials focus on bare-bones survival and sustaining independence.
The critical contents include:
- Water filtration systems
- A reliable knife
- Materials for building shelter
- Fire-starting tools
- Medical supplies
- Warm clothing layers
- Some form of currency
- Communication devices
- High-calorie, non-perishable foods
"Anything that reduces reliance on fragile global infrastructures belongs in that bag," she advised.
Practical Preparedness Over Traditional Gifts
Gubba's commitment extends to her gift-giving habits. She prefers to give friends and family practical items that enhance their safety and resilience, especially during the holiday season. She criticises the tradition of spending heavily on disposable gifts while ignoring basic preparedness.
"People shouldn't bankrupt themselves for a holiday while ignoring the basics of resilience," Gubba stated. "If the elites can stockpile bunkers and freeze-dried food, everyday families deserve the same peace of mind."
Her recommended gifts include hand-crank radios, comprehensive medical kits, high-quality flashlights, long-lasting pantry staples, and skills-based presents like canning equipment. "I'd rather give something that keeps a family safe than something that winds up in a landfill," she concluded.
The Prophecies Prompting the Preparedness
This surge in practical advice follows chilling predictions for 2026 from Athos Salomé, a 39-year-old Brazilian known as the 'Living Nostradamus'. He earned his nickname after allegedly accurately forecasting dozens of global events, including the Microsoft global outage, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
His recent forecasts for 2026, reported by Hello! magazine, warn of potential large-scale power outages in susceptible electrical systems and the threat of an H5N5 bird flu variant. He highlighted that the EU is rushing to authorise a modified mRNA vaccine for it, underscoring the perceived urgency.
Whether one believes in prophecy or not, Gubba's message is clear: the systems supporting modern life are perceived as fragile. In the face of rising tensions, technological risks, and environmental strain, building tangible, local resilience is presented not as an act of fear, but one of profound responsibility.
