All Things Prepping, Simple Living, Back to the Basics [Survival Today, an on going thread]

This is an ongoing thread – meaning come back to chat, post information, or ask questions any time. Hopefully the thread won’t stagnate and I’ll do better at posting weekly (or bi-weekly) topics than I have in the past. (anyone willing to post a topic now and then we'll be highly praised and appreciated).

We are in for some bumpy rides, and prepping can only help. If for peace of mind, if nothing else. We have a wonderful gardening thread and a current-events survival/prepping thread, and hopefully this one can piggyback off of those, maybe having a longer discussion about certain topics or … whatever. It's your thread, do what you like with it! (civilly, of course)

Here are granny’s threads, if anyone wants to peruse them:

Re: Mason Jars. Here’s info on how to ‘date’ the blue Ball Jars. My oldest one is from 1910. I kept the ones that were the oldest and that I still had the zinc screw-on lids for. I use them for decor and/or dry goods storage.

How Do You Prep for an Invasion From Within
(h/t norsky, anyone else I have stolen info from)

What can we do?

This is much worse than any other prepper scenario I have been reading about. We have EMP, nuclear, loss of communication and supplies scenarios in numerous books - but I haven’t seen one that has predicted/planned for an invasion from within. I imagine it’ll be somewhat like the breakdown in law in some scenarios, but it probably won’t be total. Law enforcement will come after us for defending ourselves and our homes and our property, and we will rot in jail or camps like the j6 prisoners. The first wave will serve as examples. So, IMO, any prepping/actions will need to be quiet and not noticed.

Any ideas would be great!

Here’s some info – don’t read/watch before going to bed






Liz Churchill ............ According to this Bill, a plan is in place to divide the US into 10 districts or regions, to be implemented by FEMA in the event of martial law.

This prospect is alarmingly reminiscent of the dystopian scenario depicted in The Hunger Games.

Tucker Carlson, nations end by invasions, powerful short message. Americans are being replaced.

This prospect is alarmingly reminiscent of the dystopian scenario depicted in The Hunger Games.

It's right out of the book.

I've read the series but never imagined that people would use it as a play book. But then again, look at Brave New World and 1984.

[metmom]

The single most important prep anyone can do is to get right with God, prepare to face eternity at any moment.

Because even if you are prepped to the gills and fortified like fort Knox, there are no guarantees. Basically, all it does is buy you time.

At this point, we are being flooded to the point of being overwhelmed. Yes, we can and should and many likely will fight back, but based on the end times scenarios presented in Scripture, there’s only so much we can do and we have no other choice but to know that ultimately GOD will prevail and they will come to nothing in the end.

Don’t worry about prepping and canning if your soul is not in God’s hands .
