1. If something happens all I have to do is call 911.
2. All I need is a 72-hour kit with a flashlight, first aid kit, some food and water, and a radio.
3. My insurance policy will take care of everything.
4. Good preparedness is too expensive and complicated.
5. We can only form a neighborhood group through FEMA, the Red Cross or local law enforcement.
6. In a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorist attack, we’re all dead anyway.
7. Nothing like that could ever happen here.
8. All I have to worry about is my own family.
9. If preparedness were really important it would be taught in school.
10. I can get free preparedness information on the Internet.
11. Full preparedness means I have to get a lot of guns and be a survivalist.
12. If something really bad happens, no one will help.
Tell us more!
What kind of wax does she use to coat what kind of cheese and where does she store it afterwards?
Thanks!
That's close to a fatalist who believes everything that happens is preordained to happen and one can't change it.
There are going to be a lot of dead people in both categories (and I don't care ‘cause I can't change them beforehand and don't have enough to feed them afterward).
I will feed my extra liberal sister-in-law and her husband because they helped me so much when my husband was very ill. I love them but they are to the left of Stalin and admit it. They know I am a prepper and think I'm nuts. They live on the coast and have NO preps of any kind.
It's a given they'll be the first ones knocking on your door.
“A Zombie! ;-)”
That’s a better answer than my brainy one of “fatalist”.
I was watching the show and reading my iphone at the same time, but I think I remember she used a special cheese wax and dipped it or brushed it with a natural boar’s bristle brush. She gave a recommendation of the product on her site, and it was from a specialty cheese store. Then she recommended hanging it in a cool space, like a basement, where she has them in nets hanging from the rafters. I think they need air circulation. They do get more ripe, but they don’t spoil. I remember eating a guoda-type cheese in the Philippines, and we didn’t refrigerate the new product. Hard cheeses are the ones she puts-up-—literally. Isn’t that exciting? Helps round out your need for protein in your preps. I found her site kind of hard to navigate. There is a search box, but no where to find what was already posted.
The last time they were here a number of months ago, they told me they aren’t worried about the future until global warming stops food growing in their area of south Texas, then they will go to California where his brother is because that place will be fine. I said nothing, just nodded my head like they were right.
They are coming to visit either this coming Sunday or next Tuesday and be here several days. They sleep in a bed under which is mountains of Rainey Day food. They don’t know how lucky they are that I would save their liberal lives.

Wrong kind of battery powered radio - I prefer mine to tune from 144Mhz to 148Mhz ;-) It also helps if you have a decent antenna - a car mount works.
Tuck your head between your legs, ..............
Bless their hearts.
Yep. That and "Duck and Cover".
Ammo will be the new money.
A democrat.
Wowza. I'm thinking new pants might be in order after that ka-boom.
I didn't know anyone survived that close. Thanks for the data.

Booze - I’m getting a small still. About 10L worth should provide a couple of liters of white lightening. Sugar and yeast and some water on the fire. Been reading up on it and it’s not all that complicated really. JRTFM!!
