Preppers’ PING!!
Don’t watch Bear Grylls or any other show on A&E, Discovery, History, NatGeo channels they are all full of shiite muslims.
At the first sign things are getting dicey, fill up every tub, sink, bucket, trash can and other receptacle with water.

Step 13, have a good time!
Plus a few extra filters just in case you have start drinking pond scum.
The first step should always be building up a larder- by buying on sale.
That makes for a 25% food savings.
Once a person learns that there are huge savings received now by prepping- they’re hooked. Plus it provides funds for the other things.
IMHO, the major force driving people back to self reliance and independent life styles is the federal government.
Almost every major issue that lurks in the background with the potential to destroy the economy and the nation is directly or indirectly caused by the federal government.
Fifty years ago and more, people who fit much of this characterization weren’t called Preppers - they were just people.
Of course even then 99% of them lived outside the cities.
They were do-it-your-selfers with useful skills who grew, gathered or hunted food to can in the summer to get through the winter, etc.
One big difference between then and now is that the federal government had not yet grown in to a behemoth with an oppressive presence that made life more difficult for the independent minded and made most things worse with their incessant meddling.
If/when the stuff hits the fan you can be certain the root cause is the federal government.
