Emergency-Preps.com:Hoping for the Best Preparing for the Worst provides a laundry list of forums topics that cover every conceivable survival forums discussion group conceivable.

The fact is that in the case of Hurricane Sandy a huge percent of those who died, would have survived had they taken the storm's capacity for the destruction it wrought seriously. The problem is that weather forecasting not being as accurate as it could be, have reinforced the notion that evacuation, preparation is not high on the priority list because of its less than perfect record in predicting weather accurately. And so with every severe weather report that turns out to be less than expected, the ability to motivate people to evacuate gets harder with each less than compelling weather forecast.

And in the same way people are doing even less in preparation for the coming Obamageddon, in protecting themselves, learn to survive in a pre-industrial type existence not seen in centuries. The forums here offer that kind of advice, knowledge, wherewithal. Good Luck, All.

The media, as usual, failed to inform the people on Sandy. Sandy was a carbon copy of Hurricane Ike. They should have run scenes from Ike’s destruction and said “This is what Sandy is going to do.” I think it would have been a little more persuasive.

Sorry for the double ping! There has to be some glitch causing it.

Sandy’s lesson is right before your eyes just as it was with Katrina; You either prepare and stand on your own or you can depend on a bunch of self-serving politicos, third class bureaucratic and chance to provide your basic needs.

Me I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.

Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo. Maybe while you stand there you will get a chance to a prop in some politico’s photo op and even get your picture on the national news.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!

For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, gas cans, cooking stove/fuel, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3

Any word on what the death toll has been?

I haven’t heard anything.

High ranking military “resignations” and WH appointments whould be included in preppers’ weather forecasting.
