Self Reliant/Survivalist ping list
I have never been richer...rich beyond belief (in Him)!!!
“God helps those who help themselves.”
I believe this. My granddaughter, an R.N. working in a hospital in Wyoming, was just here for a week’s visit. She was amazed at our “storage unit” in our basement. We have plenty of food items, but at her suggestion, we went to Sam’s Club and stocked up on non-food items. Bleach, “Emergen-C”, vitamins, gauze, surgical tape, peroxide, every Band Aid imaginable, cloth diapers (many uses for those) paper procucts,etc. Then to Cabelas for hurricane candles, batteries, flashlights. We even bought big boxes of the large safety matches and spent about an hour dipping them in parrafin to preserve them from moisture. We may never need them, but they are here if we do.
We are fortunate enough to live in the country. We have our own well, three generators (and gas stored to fuel them) lots of deer, wild turkeys, etc. We even have a natural spring and a salt lick not too far from us.
My prayer is that we never have to rely on what we have stocked. My comfort is that we are ready as we can be if needed.
Yes, anyone in the U.S.A. is prosperous. Anyone who doesn’t think so only need to live in Nicaragua, Haiti, Afghanistan or some other similar place to see what true poverty really is.
Fear not - soon no one will be prosperous and no one will be poor - we’ll all be part of the good gray mush - Obama’s paradise on earth.......
I agree that I am blessed. I have a wonderful family, food, shelter... all my basic needs are met. Thank you Hashem.
But my husband and I are working for more. For years, we’ve sacrificed so that we may see a dream come true. We chose to live in a trailer on a beautiful slice of land where we hope to build our dream home. (and to pay cash for that home) We’re eating beans and rice and managing every penny for our dream.
I refuse to sit humbly and be thankful for my blessings when that which we’ve earned and sweat for is being ripped from us by a MAN. That man is a thief and we have the right to defend against thieves. We wouldn’t sit quietly while robbers cleaned out our homes, so why are we expected to sit peacefully while a group of robbers steal our dreams and our children’s future?
Yes, I thank G-d every day that we survive and that we don’t suffer, but my country is under attack. That is something that I choose to be upset about. Something I choose to fight against.
