There are a few people in my life who arent into preparedness. Oh, theyre fine right-thinking people, and they know of my particular bent, but while they don’t ridicule me they also don’t really feel the need to be on my bandwagon. Not a big deal, we can still be friends.
So today Im talking to one and he asks me if I know a place for MRE’s. We chat a bit nad he says he wants some for hunting and to keep in his truck. We talk some more and asks if I know anything about “this Red Feather canned butter stuff”. C’mon…canned butter is not a hunting or keep-in-the-truck item. We dance a little more and, sure enough, he’s coming around to think that maybe having a stockpile of food and supplies isn’t a bad idea.
We talked a while about the LDS cannery, shelf life of foods, etc, etc. I’ll loan him a few books.
He’s not looking for a lifestyle, he just wants a little insurance. And, really, thats what most people are after. They don’t want a life of driving to the Kroger’s in a 4×4, wearing desert boots all the time, and wearing a riggers belt with 5.11’s. They just want to feel a bit more secure. Nothing wrong with that.
The number of people I know who aren’t preparing for trouble is getting smaller and smaller. Thats a good thing.
What is that from? Nazi handiwork?

I have posted many times that if you are stuck in the burbs when the SHTF life is going to be unpleasant with supplies of without. But without supplies it will be short term misery.
The Bible is all about being prepared.
You are to do your part and trust that God will do His.
Even in fall 2008, when it looked like the whole financial system was going to collapse, everything worked out.
No it didn't.
There were plenty of people who lost everything when a little foresight and preparedness would have meant that they didn't.
Are you really that disengaged?
