Glad you liked it, but someone will complain in...3...2...1...
I appreciate your preparedness topics and discussion.
6.I don’t deal in conspiracies, men do evil things on occasion, and groups of evil men do bad things, but the shear amount of people that would have to be quiet to pull off a “shadow” government is impossible for a bureaucrat to manage.
They are doing out in the open for all to see, only too many are still wearing rose colored glasses as they stick their heads in the sand.
17. Charity... If you work hard, someone that refuses to work has no moral demand on your labor. However, I would have a hard time swallowing a meal if I refused to help a hungry child, widow, or a disabled person.
A hungry child, yes. A widow or a disabled person, no because they are supposed to be responsible adults.
Re: #2. . . . I want my food storage to hit its shelf life unopened. But I feel better knowing I have food insurance. I store food that I eat regularly. My prepper food will last my family a year in an emergency, even without supplementing from the garden and hunting, but everything gets rotated out before it expires, at most after three years. I like the sentiment behind your post, but at least for my budget and my substantial storage space, buying and storing extras of the usual groceries when things are on sale works well.
Re: #17. . . . I would have a hard time swallowing a meal if I refused to help a hungry child, widow, or a disabled person. God gave us free will; he also was clear about the consequences for bad behavior. I'm with you, and I'll even help a healthy man with limited common sense but the willingness to work. Someone moving through who will chop a day's firewood (even if I don't actually need more wood split) can have food for that day and an extra day's food to take with him. I have enough to share with those who will contribute, and I will share - with appropriate caution.
Re: #25. You have to practice your plan, thinking is not the same as talking, and talking is not the same as doing. One of our family disasters came a week after a walk through of the disaster plan. It was a phenomenally terrible experience, but it would have been even worse without the walk through.
Lastly this for the doubters and the scoffers.”

The list is a healthy mindset.
As for doubters and scoffers, I don’t get any of that as only a few family members know I have “stuff” and they don’t know the extent of it. They don’t worry about me if a hurricane comes my way and takes out power. They don’t live close to me but they know if disaster happened, they would be welcome here.
Prepping gives peace of mind. Doubters and scoffers don’t have that.
I wrote a series of 20+ prepping articles on Survial Podcast. That has helped many people prepare. Send me a Freepmail if you want information about getting there to read those articles.
