I didn't mean to seem cross in my reply, but it has been my experience that in general the Preppers I know are far more right with the Lord than those who often assume they are not. To me to assume that every ill event that happens is the Lord's Apocalypse is a bit presumptive. As I pointed out there is much Scripture that instructs prepper type activities and many stories of those that God has saved by instructing them to prepared for bad times.
This joke I believe explains my position:
God granting miracles:
A religious man is on top of a roof during a great flood. A man comes by in a boat and says "get in, get in!" The religious man replies, " no I have faith in God, he will grant me a miracle." Later the water is up to his waist and another boat comes by and the guy tells him to get in again. He responds that he has faith in god and god will give him a miracle. With the water at about chest high, another boat comes to rescue him, but he turns down the offer again cause "God will grant him a miracle." With the water at chin high, a helicopter throws down a ladder and they tell him to get in, mumbling with the water in his mouth, he again turns down the request for help for the faith of God. He arrives at the gates of heaven with broken faith and says to Peter, I thought God would grand me a miracle and I have been let down." St. Peter chuckles and responds, "I don't know what you're complaining about, we sent you three boats and a helicopter."

Any relation to Garum Masala?
To: Kartographer
That was GUAM; but when it tips over, then it’ll be GARUM. :O)

I too am a Prepper, but I think high dollar could be gained by selling the contents to the Chinese as a delicacy. Heck, call it an aphrodisiac or erectile enhancer and get triple the money. ;>)

"Garum sounds exactly like Vietnamese Nuoc Mam. And dont knock it unless youve actually tried it."
I seem to remember my Uncle has a story about trying some while on R&R. When he got back he had to get a bunch of shots and spent a week in sick bay. And then aagin maybe what he tried wasn't the same thing. ;-)

There is a similar condiment (salty fermented fish sauce) that is popular with the Chinese in Singapore. I can't recall the name but I was offered some to add to a stir fry dish. I sniffed the container and can only compare it to the smell of fresh vomit (somebody else's, if you know what I mean). Gag response bad but it's amazing what people can enjoy and eat if they're brought up on it.
A friend of mine and I on a business trip in western China were treated to glasses of fermented mare's milk (Ghengis Khan and Mongol Horde type stuff). He almost puked (surprised me because he's a Louisiana Cajun and I thought those folks could eat anything) but to me it was just like the Kentucky buttermilk I was brought up on as a child.

Well, that’s how he pronounces it. ;-)
