There is a lot of concern out there.

“There is a lot of concern out there.”

I would call it a psychic awareness that something is terribly wrong.

I’ve learned how to do my own pressure canning this year.

Those who know me understand how weird that is.

While on the subject, read the following. Can anyone point out if any of these statements are wrong. Been prepping myself and found this information online. Wonder if these points are true at all. All concerning the human body and supplements with respect to radiation.

Iron can prevent the uptake of plutonium.
Calcium can prevent the uptake of strontium.
Potassium can prevent the uptake of cesium.

Imprudent to the max.

"Any good sites to buy gear for shtf prep? "

Here's one I've used successfully for years. Many others are just as good, IMO.

‘I would call it a psychic awareness that something is terribly wrong.’

I have not read a more astute statement today, kudos.

My fears are not of tsunamis or bombs. My fears are for when the government checks stop coming and the lights start going out.

LOL. I know how wierd it is...(now)I can do it too!! (And, have many, many supplies to do so.)

BTW, yard sales are a cheap source of canning jars.

I certainly haven’t been able to figure out how to store useful amounts of gasoline. Gasoline degrades pretty quickly.

Lots of folks including me and mine have lived this way all our lives. Frugal by living within our means and storing what we hunt, fish and garden.

The part as we read here are the large number of people who KNOW something is amiss be it rumor or fact and have decided to err on the side of safety and self reliance which is always the best when in doubt.

Disasters are not the all out SHTF type.

Political PC Bullshit like we see now.

Laid off from work.

Injury or Long Term Illness for the bread winner.

Power Grid down due storms or damaged equipment.

Water lines broken or contaminated.

And as always ....the SHTF !

Better to be ready than a burden on your neighbors and family IMO.

Stay safe !
