20 posts held, back to 4 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Emergency water supply container Recent climate events throughout Europe have made me increasingly concerned about short term water shortages/rationing. One can not drink tap water as is where I live, you need to buy it in cans/bottles. I usually buy around 100 liters (25 gallons) at a time when I am through 90%. It would be extremely wasteful to use said water for personal hygiene. Having a collapsible storage tan…
Potato Starch I recently came across some free potato starch. I’ve seen it can store fairly long in Mylar bags so I went ahead and sealed it up with some oxygen absorbers. But what can it be used for beyond a thickening agent? I’m mainly looking for things I could also store long term to make a meal, but any tips are welcomed. https://redd.it/1vk2qvm @r_preppers

Ranking the best places for preppers to live in the U.S. What am I missing? I've been building a county-level model to answer a question that comes up here pretty often: if preparedness were a major factor in where you lived, which parts of the U.S. actually come out ahead? I ran it across 3,000+ counties. The results heavily favor the central U.S., especially Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and surrounding areas. Most coas…
How do you handle battery charging? After getting my get-home bag pretty much where I want it to be, I'm focusing now on my bugout bag. Between just those two, I have several rechargeable flashlights and power banks, which I'd like to keep topped up, or at least pretty close to it. I also have spare batteries for the flashlights, and I also want those to be ready to go at a moment's notice. What I DON'T want is to h…
Pressure canners Need help with a recommendation. Shopping around for pressure canners (England) but struggling to find one that doesn't look like a disaster in waiting. And the only decent ones seem to be American brands and quite costly if you include shipping. Said to the wife, why not just get a pressure cooker, but "A pressure canner can be a cooker, but a cooker can't be a canner" in her words. Some help or…
Atmospheric water generators filtration options keep seeing ads for these showing up, but they are wanting 5k and up for models that produce enough to drink on a faily basis for a family of 4. between collected rain water and collected condensor water this can be mitigated some looking for a less expensive DIY version with a renewable filtration option. it seems that the 5 micron filter is the big hangup in the new…
Take down if not right for sub. This is a question about what to do with your oil burner in an emergency situation Mainly loss of electricy. Assuming you don't have backup power, what should you do with your boiler if the power goes out for an extended period of time in the winter? Do you turn it off and bleed the lines? Thanks. https://redd.it/1vi53i2 @r_preppers
How useful is Tree Surgeon Skills and Forestry in a Mad Max scenario Somehow I like to ask this about trades I'm learning https://redd.it/1vhbply @r_preppers
furious mob, not a single human face among them. The newspapers were filled with ads: "Trading a three-bedroom apartment in Baku for any apartment in any Russian city..? We sold our apartment for three hundred dollars. Like it was a refrigerator. And if we hadn't sold it that cheap, they could have killed us..." ... With the money we got for our apartment, we bought a Chinese down jacket for me and a pair of warm b…
The Collapse of the Soviet Union. Secondhand Time. I'm reading a book (from 2016) about the collapse of the Soviet Union, full of stories relevant to this community. Here's one: 1990...Fifteen people were living in our three-bedroom apartment in Minsk, plus a newborn. First, my husband's relatives arrived from Baku, his sister with her family and his cousins. They weren't visiting, they came with the word "war" o…
What would be the best solar generator for me? Sorry if this is a stupid post! I've recently saved up a few hundred bucks (~$400) to pick up a solar generator and maybe some sort of folding solar panel. I don't have a lot to spend, but I'd like to have something just in case we lose power. I live in an apartment (doubt I'll be able to afford a house anytime soon) and would need something capable of running a mini-f…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @r_preppers. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
