"I don't know about you, but begging Zero for help, is not part of my preparedness plans."

I don't know its as good a plan as some on FR have, two for which is to expect preppers to 'share' and to rob preppers. Of course even on FR we have people who flat out told me that prepping was not needed because help always comes flooding in from else where when ever there is a disaster.

To each his own.LOL I intend to continue to prepare for emergencies as we always have; it's a way of life and an old habit-we didn't call it prepping, it was just a way of being independent and intelligent living.

The mindset being that we take care of ourselves, because it's our responsibility. We don't expect to depend on others, because our problems are not their responsibility.

There seems to be a lack of taking responsibility these days in particular with respect to the Government officials, other than to say they do, and then proceed to explain how it wasn't their fault, and then do nothing.

While we have altered our preps due to current concerns, it really doesn't change the way of life, which is to plan on how to handle likely and possible problems, then take action to implement the plan.

Every day we are able to increase our ability to meet the challenges that may come. What is that saying? No one plans to fail, but failure to plan means you have accepted failure already? Thanks for the thread, and all you do.
