Taste Venice: www.tasteatlas.com/venice
The ultimate way to experience Venetian food culture is not in a formal restaurant but on a traditional Bacaro tour. A bacaro is a tiny local tavern where residents gather in the early evening. The rules of this historic bar crawl are incredibly simple. There are no menus and absolutely no sitting down. You simply walk in point to a small snack behind the glass known as a cicchetto and pair it with a small glass of house wine called an ombra or a classic Spritz.
You stand at the counter finish your bite and drink and move on to the exact next spot within fifteen minutes. From crispy polpette at Cà D'Oro alla Vedova to creamy baccalà mantecato at Enoteca Al Volto this fast paced ritual is the absolute best way to taste the real Venice without ever slowing down.

📍 Lake Lovatnet, Loen, Norway 🇳🇴 Norwegians have been putting grass on their roofs for over 1,000 years. It's not decoration. The turf layer keeps the cabin warm in winter and cool in summer 🌿.
Some roofs grow wildflowers by July without anyone planting them.
This lake gets its color from glacial meltwater flowing down from Jostedalsbreen, Europe's largest mainland glacier 🏔️.
Twice in the last century, rockslides crashed into this water and caused deadly waves. Today it's completely still, like a mirror leaning against the mountains.

How to Hide Survival Caches on Your Property.
There’s an old saying that one shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket. That statement very clearly applies to our prepping stockpiles. Keeping all of our eggs or any other food items in one basket entails a lot of risk, from a lot of different sources:
If your home is broken into, they can steal your entire stockpile.
If your home is overrun in a post-disaster attack, they can really steal your stockpile.
Government agents could confiscate it.
A natural disaster that destroys your home would also destroy your stockpile.
The solution, of course, is to avoid keeping all your food in one place. Some people understand this to mean that they should have a supply of food in a pantry off the kitchen, perhaps enough to last a month or two, while their real stockpile is hidden in the basement.
That’s okay for foiling someone who is doing a quick look through your home, but it’s not good enough to survive a concerted search. For that, the food needs to be better hidden.
Survival caches are stockpiles of supplies that are hidden away for future use. That idea isn’t limited to prepping alone. Secret military organizations might have caches of weapons or ammunition; so might spies for that matter. Back in the days of the mountain men, it was common for them to establish supply caches so they didn’t have to haul everything around with them. But for preppers, caches are places to put supplies so they still have something to use if they are away from home or their main supply stockpile is gone.
When preppers talk about establishing caches, it’s normally in the context of bugging out; establishing caches that can be used during the bug out or in one’s survival retreat. That’s good; but it’s not all that we should do. If our main survival retreat is our home, then we should establish supply caches there as well.
While the main thing that people put in these caches is food, don’t limit your thinking to only food. Anything that is important enough to stockpile, is important enough to put in a cache, especially:
Ammunition
Fire starters
Hygiene supplies
Medicines
Toilet paper
Water filters
Supply Caches Inside the Home
If we’re going to put supply caches in our home, the easier place to put them is inside. There are actually a lot of good hiding places in a home such as boxes of stored stuff in the attic, basement, or garage.
Filling those boxes half full of food and then putting the baby clothes and other things you’re saving on to, makes for a pretty good hiding place. Few searchers would bother to go farther than opening the box and looking inside; and if the first couple of boxes are just old clothes, toys and dishes, they probably won’t bother to search any more.
But there are also things that can be done to make good hiding places in the home, such as:
Putting Food in the Walls – Interior walls in the home have 3-1/2” of dead space, with only a few wires, pipes and heat ducts in them. The drywall can be removed from one side of the wall and food stacked inside. Then the food can be closed back in, by installing new drywall and finishing it.
Few people understand the ductwork in a home. It’s easy to buy additional ductwork to match what’s already there and create a false section of ductwork attached to the original. Just make sure that it looks the same, down to the tape that’s used to attach it being the same color.
As with the ductwork, few people understand the plumbing in a home. If the house has a basement, there’s a 4” diameter drain pipe somewhere. Adding another one that can be filled with food can provide another cache. The trick here is to have it going through the floor above and into the basement floor so it looks like it’s doing something and not just a spare piece of pipe sitting there.
There are many pieces of furniture with unused space inside them, which can be used to store food, such as inside the box (used to be box springs) that mattresses sit on, inside the bottom of sofas and underneath tabletops.
Likewise, the inside of appliances can have extra space that’s not being used, especially clothes washers and dryers.
Supply Caches in the Backyard
All of those places inside the home will work, although they are somewhat limited in the amount of available space. But they all have one big drawback. That is, if something happens to the house, the supply caches will likely suffer the same damage that your stockpile does. That specifically applies to if the house burns down, is flooded, or is destroyed by a tornado.
That’s why it’s important to have some supply caches in the backyard as well. Not only will buried caches be harder to find, but when they are properly done they are pretty much impervious to much of the damage that can happen to a supply cache inside the home.
Many people use PVC pipe to make these underground caches, but even 4” pipe doesn’t allow a lot of room inside the container. There’s another container available at the lumberyard which works much better, holding more than the pipe can – five gallon plastic buckets. With the lid firmly seated on the bucket, it is impervious to insects, rodents and moisture. The only part of the bucket which can be damaged by being underground is the wire bail for the handle; but it’s best to remove that anyway.
Granted, it will still take several five gallon buckets to make a decent cache, but if properly packaged, so as to avoid wasting space, they can hold quite a bit. You can also start a cache out with just one or two buckets, adding more later.
Buckets should be buried underground with the top of the bucket at least two feet below ground level. As you’re filling the dirt back into the hole, put something metal about a foot above the bucket just in case someone goes looking for your cache with a metal detector. That could be some scraps of metal, bits of hardware of even a few coins. If they find your “bait” they’ll hopefully stop digging.
Make Sure You Can Find Your Cache
Regardless of where you put a cache, make sure you keep accurate records of it. We’ve all seen movies and heard stories of treasure maps; well, make your own.
Just make sure that you use two sets of landmarks for each cache and that you’re detailed about directions and distances from those landmarks. Preferably those should be things that can’t simply be moved. In other words a boulder or a street intersection is better than a tree.
Having two sets increases the chances of finding your cache; if one is no longer there, you’ll have the other landmark to use.

10 Places You Can Hide Your Emergency Supplies.
Why Hide your Preps
The very nature of what we prepare for should be help us understand why we need preps in more than one location. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. That’s an old way of saying it. If for any reason you have to abandon your home then anything you cannot take is gone, too.
That could be in the face of a fire or even hostile invaders who want to take your home away from you and all the preps therein. So, you need places to hide your preps.
Seasoned preppers know that there is another reason to hide preps that has nothing to do with losing what is theirs. That is the reality of limited storage space. After a couple years of serious prepping, you start to run out of room, frankly.
Having preps in hidden locations gives you more room to achieve this. It is an eye opening experience when you start to realize your creativity can buy you all the storage space for preps that you could ever want.
Let’s look at 10 places to hide your preps. I am certain you will find a few that you can take advantage of.
1. Alternate Location
The first option on the list is an alternate location. When I say ‘alternate location’ I am talking about a home or fortified modern shelter of some kind. An alternate location should be a place that is climate controlled and protected from weather. It should also be secure.
Having a BOL, second home, or even a small cabin or shed that’s hidden on a piece of land, can be the perfect place to hide preps. They can be stored out in the open or you can hide them in closets or pantries.
At an alternate location you might even consider dedicating the first level to living and the second level to preparedness.
2. Buried Cache
A watertight container or even a large piece of PVC pipe sealed on both ends can become an awesome cache of preps that can be buried, spray painted and hung in a tree, or it can be weighted and carefully pushed to the bottom of a body of water.
I would recommend still water or slow-moving water for this. You can get really creative with where you bury a survival cache but you should keep a few copies of paper maps to be sure you remember where they are!
Plotting them on your phone GPS is a bad idea as that information can be easily accessed by others.
3. Strange Places in the Home
You can hide preps in your own home! You do not need to invest in anything or have extra cash to buy an alternate location. This whole hiding preps thing is a game for the most creative. When it comes to hiding preps in your home, I have seen some pretty creative stuff!
By rethinking your stairwell, you can create a hinged hiding place below underneath the steps
The space under your bed can be used and hidden easily
There is an interesting little space beneath your cabinet that can be used to hide preps, too.
Store preps on the top shelf of a closet, fill the space halfway, and then cover those preps with things that should be stored in a bedroom or linen closet.
You can give bookshelves the same treatment
Small preps can be stored in hollow doors
It really comes down to how creative you want to be. I have seen people store gold and silver in the walls of their home!
4. Beside Highways
There is land that runs beside highways that can be beneficial for a number of things. This is state owned land for the most part and it can be a great place to hide preps.
That said, you have to be careful about how old and congested the stretch of highway is. If you see build up in the area, then highway could be widened and you will have to find a hiding spot.
Use caches in the ground near highways.
5. Bunker
This is an option that can requires some investment. However, an underground bunker is not just a place to hide out from a nuclear blast. This is also an great place to hide your preps. Any underground bunker is going to be hidden if you install it properly.
While many cannot afford a bunker, it can be a perfect place to hide preps for those who can.
6. Under Structure
If you are building a shed, greenhouse, workshop, or something else, when you break ground, you can store long term preps either in the ground or in the concrete that you are pouring to make a base for that structure.
If you are not using concrete you can build a wooden frame for that structure and hide preps that do not require temperature control there, too. This could be a great place for things like
7. Abandoned Structures
This could be a little risky but if you are careful then you can have a lot of success hiding preps in abandoned buildings and structures. Covering your preps in ruble and rusty metal or fallen insulation is a great way to keep people from finding it.
Of course, hiding your preps anywhere that is not your property is dangerous and can cost you losing everything you have stored there. This is not the place you want to store a cache of guns or gold and silver. Still, it might be an option for you.
8. Deep in Water
While we talked about caching food in shallow waters the idea of hiding preps in deep water is a little different an undertaking. One of the important things to remember about deep water is that it will not freeze in most locations in the United States.
This means you can store shelf stable foods and things like that in a very comfortable temperature range if the water stays warm enough that it does not freeze. This deepwater is where you will find fish when the lakes surface freezes.
These deep water preps are going to need to be anchored by weight or by chain. There is a good chance you are going to need to learn to dive deep if you want to keep these preps in deep water and retrieve them.
You can get a little more creative with buoys and things if you own the water. However, you do not want people to reel up your cache in a public lake because they are gonna keep it!
9. National Forests
National and state forests make up millions of acres of land in this nation. There are wide open spaces that you can trapse through and might be a great place to hide preps. This would have to be a covert operation that looks more like a backpacking trip but it is something you can do.
The great thing about these protected lands is that you do not have to worry about this land being randomly dug up and buildings erected or towns and roads coming through.
10. Well
An old well can be the perfect place to hide preps. You can even store preps in an active well if you run a PVC pipe and pump to get the water out. That well can be completely covered with a decorative wooden well build that would make it look more ornamental than actually useful.
Nets and ropes are easy tools that you can use to hang preps into a well. Those PVC or waterproof caches can be dropped all the way down into the water as long as you have a way to get them back up out of the well.
How to Retrieve Hidden Preps
Each one of these hiding places is going to present their own challenges when it comes to retrieval. However, any time you are dealing with hiding places you should consider OPSEC or operational security.
Cover
If you are digging up an area, heading into a body of water, or walking through a National Forest then you should have a reason to be there. If you run into people or the fish and game commission the last thing you want to say is, “I’m just out here to recover my hidden preps.”
Carry Out
You need a backpack, duffle bag or something that you can use to carry out the goods. You do not want to be walking out of the woods or away from your hiding place with an armful of MREs, food storage, or ammunition.
Situational Awareness
If you are unaware, then someone might be paying attention to you! Chances are if you found a good hiding place for preps then you are gonna hide stuff there in the future. If someone is watching you enter the area with an empty bag and leave with a full bag they may get curious.
They could not only follow you into the woods, but they might find that hiding place and then capitalize when you are not there to protect your preps.
Conclusion
Storage space goes faster than you think! You can always make more money but once your house is full of preps it is time to get creative. This is a good time to start staking out hiding places either on your property or in your local area.
Be smart and considerate with where you hide your preps. Make sure you have paper maps because not everyone in your home is going to know where the preps are hidden.
Make a simple plan for recovery of those hidden preps and you will be ready for anything!

Why Plato Lost Faith in Athenian Politics
To understand the philosophy of Plato, we must first understand the world that shaped him.
Plato did not begin his life as a philosopher who distrusted politics. In fact, as a young man in Athens, he expected to enter public life.
He was born into an influential aristocratic family, connected to several political figures of the city. For someone of his background, participating in government was not unusual. It was almost expected.
Athens at that time was famous for its democracy. Citizens debated laws in public assemblies. Decisions were made through voting. Political speeches filled the city’s squares.
To many people, Athens represented the height of political freedom.
But Plato’s generation lived through a period when that system was under intense strain.
Athens had recently suffered a devastating defeat in the Peloponnesian War against Sparta.
The long conflict had exhausted the city, weakened its institutions, and created deep divisions among citizens. In the years that followed, Athens experienced dramatic political instability. Governments rose and collapsed quickly. Rival factions struggled for control.
For a young Plato observing all this, politics did not appear as a noble pursuit of justice. It often looked like a chaotic competition for power.
Then something happened that changed his life forever.
His teacher, Socrates, was put on trial.
Socrates was not a politician. He did not hold office or command armies. He spent his days in conversation, questioning citizens about justice, virtue, and wisdom.
His method was simple but unsettling. By asking careful questions, he exposed how often people spoke confidently about ideas they did not truly understand.
Many young Athenians admired him for this. They saw him as a guide to deeper thinking.
But others felt humiliated by his questioning. Powerful men who had been publicly challenged by Socrates did not forget those moments.
Over time, resentment grew.
Eventually Socrates was formally accused of corrupting the youth and disrespecting the gods of Athens.
At the age of seventy, he was brought before a jury of hundreds of citizens.
Plato witnessed the entire event.
During the trial, Socrates refused to flatter the jury or beg for mercy. Instead, he calmly defended the value of philosophy. He argued that questioning assumptions was a service to the city, not a crime.
But the jury voted against him.
Socrates was sentenced to death.
According to Athenian law, he was required to drink a cup of poison hemlock.
Plato watched as the man he admired most accepted the sentence with remarkable calmness. Surrounded by his students, Socrates drank the poison and died.
For Plato, this moment shattered any remaining faith he had in the political system of Athens.
How could a society that claimed to value wisdom condemn one of its wisest citizens?
How could a democratic jury mistake philosophical questioning for a threat to the state?
The trial revealed something troubling about public decision making. Large groups of citizens could be influenced by emotion, persuasion, and reputation rather than careful reasoning.
From that moment onward, Plato began to question whether political power should really belong to the majority.
His later writings explore this problem again and again. In works like The Republic, Plato imagines a different kind of society. Instead of power resting on popularity, leadership would be entrusted to those who had spent their lives studying truth, justice, and wisdom.
These leaders would be philosophers.
Plato called them philosopher kings.
Whether or not one agrees with his solution, the experience that shaped his thinking is impossible to ignore.
Plato’s political philosophy was not created in isolation. It was born from witnessing a democracy that executed a man whose greatest crime was asking people to think more deeply about their lives.
Perhaps that is why Plato’s reflections on politics still feel so relevant today.
Because his central question remains unsettling.
If wisdom and popularity do not always align, who should truly guide the direction of society?
