I just live my life prepared as possible for the most likely contingencies. Then I get to thinking about what if the worst thing imaginable happened, and prepare from there.

Some of the stuff on this list is just so hard to understand attitude wise, that I often think I must be living in some alternate universe to the country I grew up in.

I am wondering, if instead of giving people a hand out, you ask them to pay or trade for it. With some people that might work. If I was traveling, I sure wouldn’t pull into some rest stop. I’d have people with me who could drive, and we’d just rotate drivers till we got where we are going.

I do think that the rural areas of the midwest will be better to deal with than the entitlement crowd of some of the large cities. People tend to be kinda independent, helpful, and most households have guns, so it kinda makes any riff raff behave as long as people are in their homes.

From The One Hour Meltdown:

1.Your family is trapped inside your vehicle in a traffic jam that is grid-locked and, although you don’t know it yet, the cars in front of you and behind you are not going to move one-inch for the next several years.

Disaster can happen quickly and if you aren’t prepared, in some cases, you die. Suddenly, we have another serious threat to life that we didn’t have a few days ago. Chinese scientists, in an animal lab, have made 127 new hybrid flu viruses. They took a lethal flu virus that does not pass to humans and combined it will one that does pass from human to human, making a hybrid that does pass from human to human. Five of these 127 hybrids are this lethal kind and it’s not known yet whether the other 122 can pass from human to human.

Scientists outside China don’t trust the security of this animal lab to be secure enough to prevent one of the deadly viruses accidently getting out of there. There is also the possibility of someone taking it out of the lab on purpose. If one of these viruses gets loose, it will be in this country within one plane trip coming here from China/Hong Kong.

Planes coming from China/Hong Kong to here, land at Los Angeles airport and I don’t know if some now land farther up the west coast, like Seattle. I was in mainland China and to come back, flew from Hong Kong to Los Angeles.

California will be the first state infected (if no planes from China/Hong Kong lands farther north on the coast) with the other states becoming infected quickly as the people carrying it fly to other states. You would have to stay in place for probably four months to avoid getting this virus from people. Are you prepared to not come in contact with anyone but your family for four months at least?

When you hear the virus is here, it’s too late to reverse those 35 reasons for not preparing, and get prepared. For at least four months, you can’t go to the grocery store.

I can lock my front door right now and not go out it for many months. Can you do this? What will you do with a lethal virus on the loose in our country and you have no preps? Do you think FEMA is going to come to your front door and leave food and water in front of your door? No, those FEMA people don’t want to die, either, and they’re not coming to your door or anywhere else.

Hussein and his family will go underground through a tunnel from the White House to the bunker we have prepared for him that has water, food, and a medical doctor. We have prepared to save him but what about you? You are on your own and you need to prepare to save your family if you think your family is as important as Hussein.
