How long do we have?? My out look for the future...[vanity]

Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts for a minute...

I've been watching the signs for decades. Piecing together cause and effect. Watching and being vigilant to keep my family safe from what I know is coming.

I've been saying for years now, mark my words, the sign to watch for, is when you see armed groups actively guarding communities, then the social breakdown will spiral rapidly out of control. The country as a whole, will end up being like Chicago.

To clarify, the groups guarding the communities aren't the problem, it's the reasons they feel it's necessary to do so that's the problem.

Then communities will start banning together for security.

Don't get caught unprepared.

All it takes is a group of those antifa nuts to shut down a highway and the stores will run out of food in a single day.

This situation with the left in this country will only get worse. Is it still theoretical when you see it playing out right in front of our faces? It's happening people.

Personally, I have a food storage and I have a really huge garden. I bought 300 additional quart jars for canning this year. We add to our storage every time we get groceries. So yes, I truly believe this is going to happen and it's not just words to me.

How much time do we have before the leftist force this reality on us?

So, if you haven't done so, PLEASE take a moment to commit to work on getting prepared. Just a little at a time is all it takes, an extra can of something you like to eat every time you go to the store. Put in a closet if that's all the space you have. I'm not kidding.

If you are prepared for the worst, good for you! Now help your neighbor get prepared. Tell other Freepers what you've done!

Not really. The intended victims in most of the country are well-armed. The only problem is that we tend to have a law and order mindset so most don’t have a “have a plan to kill everyone you meet” mindset yet. But, we are watching and learning. Not everyone is prepping for TEOTWAWKI but we are prepping for the hurricane, or the blizzard, or the antifa goons blocking the highway. And people are starting to run the antifa roadblocks already. If they seriously try to threaten a food supply, they will take casualties long before it gets bad enough to get into the hurricane supplies.

And what if your neighbors are Antifa’s?

That's a tough one. I certainly hope you're armed.

I live in a very small town... around 400 people. We're in the midwest. The town is so small, that we don't have any law enforcement of our own. We have paid the next town over for a couple hours per day of one of their cops time. That's it.

My neighbors are all armed to the teeth. And as a result we are all very polite to each other. When someone gets out of line, we....handle it. It's kind of like the wild west in a manner of speaking.

Personally, I recently built a house there... because it was away from "city dwellers". I did it on purpose to have land to grow on. And I love it. Also, a lot of people out there home school, as do I. There's a large home school group that gets together once a week.

Anyways... I'd move...because that's exactly what I did when I was faced with that problem.

You are correct, and it will happen very fast.

The “typical Freeper disdain” is not from “green” itself, but from the large political corruption forcing the use of our tax dollars on such large scale enterprises when the sh!t-to-worth ratio is horrible, and the alternative resources clearly are far better economically.

All it takes is a group of armed citizens to challenge those cowardly antifa types and the highways will re-open very quickly.

Realistic training and planning is vital. If someone is just now getting started down this road, I generally suggest carrying a pistol and med kit at all times. Take a self defense pistol course and get some med training.

The most likely scenario you are going to face is still a criminal assault or a medical emergency.

Prepping will take one for a time but if one advertises they’re a prepper you will last far less than than those who keep it quiet. In survival mode it will be every an for himself.....

I know what you're saying. But it depends on where you live. And by that I mean literally in the city, suburbs, or rural communities. Three totally different frames of mind.

If you want to see what I mean, watch what the people did during a hurricane like Katrina.

City critters : went fetal waiting for the government to help.
Suburb dwellers: got up and left and made things happen.
country folk: band together and didn't have to do anything.

It's not the inner city critters you need to worry about, it's the suburbanites. That's who makes up the ranks of antifas too. They are used to being mobile, commuting, and leading. They are the ones that will be trying to take your stuff.

Country folk always ban together and help each other. We share with each other too. I know my neighbors and they know me. So for me, I'm not really worried about my self as much as I am for these people that live in tract neighborhoods. You know where their homes are 10ft apart. That's who needs to worry.

If you are in an urban area, I don't think any amount of prepping will save you from an extended (10 days or more) crisis.

Armed individuals and gangs will be looking for people like you to feed themselves, and they will be close by. If law and order are absent, and the ferals think that condition will continue, they will just shoot you and take your supplies.

As contained in the original OP hotlink :

http://www.offthegridnews.com/off-grid-foods/how-to-create-a-food-storage-supply-for-you-and-your-spouse-for-as-little-as-5-per-week/

A list and schedule of purchases you need to make weekly @ $5.00 per week– for One Full Year.
It will give you an almost years supply of food scheduled at $5.oo per week.
Most anyone can afford that investment for food security - even Lazamataz

"I have months of food available, but only weeks of water."

Then you need to know the location of streams or lakes nearby (within a few miles), containers (gallon jugs) and delivery system (wheel barrow?), and water filtration.

Fact is, most of us don't have a water source on our property and cannot store enough water. We have to have alternate sources.

I am from the country...rural America.....and once had a log cabin on top of the surrounding mountains....so I am well familiar with the difference between city, suburbs, and rural since I’ve also lived in three major cities.

That said.....all people will steal and take whatever when it’s a matter of survival of their families....including their neighbors. That system also breaks down in time no matter how close.

You mentioning Katrina doesn’t sit well with me because so many in that after fall out were accustomed to being on the ‘generational’ welfare system....highly dependent on Government handouts......and always rage at the drop of a dime anyway.

Might better look at Japan when cities were completely destroyed......different culture mindset and far more self sufficient. There was very little looting and people did indeed stick together. We do not have that mindset in America today.......

Being inland near the Blue Ridge in NC, we never had windmills, what wind we get is seasonal and not all that reliable, but we did have spring chases which were gravity fed, providing at least some water pressure. Good water, too. But, down on the NC coast, particularly the OBX, windmills were once quite common to the point that it had to look somewhat like Holland approaching from sea. So, I’m familiar and admire them, despite not having any actual experience with them. I’m learning, though. Looking at portable wind generators for RV use. Some pretty good ones out there.

I predict all will end within a week. But I’ve been wrong before.


I agree.
