What is most peculiar is his saying prepping is “iffy” and all you need is a moderate bug out bag and a passport. That means get the next flight out. Many people will make this mistake, thinking where they are is so bad, it must be better somewhere else, so they leave with no idea how bad the place they are heading might be.

Going from a known entity to an unknown entity could get you killed. A nomad is not looked upon well as when the nomad gets wherever, those people there won’t want to add another to their group. You would have to have a major skill they needed for them not to kill you on the spot.

I repeat there is no way prepping is “iffy”. What a ridiculous statement - it shows no smarts at all. I prepared to exist without utility electric power. What is “iffy” about that? Nothing.

Some people don’t have the guts and fortitude to stay with something until they accomplish the goal. I am not one of those people and I am prepared - are you guys and gals?

Yep, definitely would not want to be a stranger in a strange land.

No way, no how.

I am with you I would rather die standing shoulder to should with friends and family protecting our own on the soil that my forefathers bleed and died to protect than old, alone, and more than likely broke in some third world rat trap. Yes I might died under the heel of some despot or over whelmed by his zombies, but but I will at least be able to look those family members in the eye when I hopefully meet them and more importantly I will be able to say to my God:

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith"
2 Timothy 4:7

But I can not abide the thought of dying a foreigner among strangers, who do not understand or have knowledge of my ancestors. Living out my days on earth like a shadow, without hope or a land of my own.

Still got a way to go ... but I’m working on it.
