I don’t think you post too much. I thin there were so many people yelling that they sky was falling this week attracted people who have no concept of what will really happen when it falls.

I think I responded to one of those threads with a comment that it might be bad, but its not THAT bad...yet.

There is a lot of crap posted these days, yours are some of the few that I read without exception. If there are folks out there that cannot think for themselves...too bad for them.

First thanks for the incouragement!

I agree with you on problem I see is most people think Preppers=MadMax. SHTF doesn't have to be MadMax and 99% of the time would be something like a hurricane, ice storm, flooding so forth. We have all watch as different countries have gone through financial crisis and bank shutdowns and withdraw resrictions have always go with these events. So are you prepared to live a week, a month with no or little access to cash, debit/credit cards? Do you have on hand enough food, suppies, fuel, cash to make it through such for a week or maybe even a month?

I remember reading during the Boston lockdown and searh for the bombers of people call the police for help with formual and diapers. We all read about the fighting in gas lines on Long Island after Sandy. Do you want to put yourself though such? Do you want to stand in lines for hours everyday just to end up with just enough to get you through that day?

It is your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news
