This is a true story, it just hasn’t happened yet.
“I’m hungry grandma Kay” Abbie cried “When are we going to eat”? “I don’t know sweetie, I’m hungry too” Kay replied. Abbie just stood there in the living room in her bulky coat and boots swaying back and forth with her head hanging down and weeping softly. She was skin and bones, Kay knew she wouldn’t last much longer. After 3 weeks there had been nothing to eat anywhere and now, only 6 weeks after the lights went out, they were starving.
“Grandma, remember when I told you my friend Marla’s family was storing food at their cabin?” said Abbie. “Yes” Kay sighed. “Why didn’t we store food?” Abbie asked. “Well” Kay said sheepishly, “Everyone thought it was so silly back then, a waste of time and money….“ said Kay as she slumped exhausted in her favorite chair, knowing she could not save Abbie or herself. She thought “If only….”. She ran her glove across the fine leather chair and realized she could have bought enough food for years for Abbie and herself for what she paid for her beloved chair; it would have been so easy back then, just 6 weeks ago. Now, she would give all she had for a single can of stew.
The moral, the point? Give your family a gift of life this Christmas, buy the extra food. Canned goods last many many years if not damaged. Put rice, etc. in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers (Total $2.50 per 5 gallons plus the rice) and they will last 25 years. You can sense the future, they cannot, it is up to you to provide for them.
Looters are a resource....if you have chickens.
Selling guns, gold and MRES will kill someone.
Why I don’t know about that. I just got back from a visit to a relative. He had a seriously badass collection of hardware, and 5000 rounds, or more for each.
You’d think the zombies would get the message long before he ran out.
I knew a woman years ago who was in Auschwitz as a child. At the age of ten she killed another girl over one potato.
Like I told a guy at work, he asked me what I invested in gold or silver I told him lead he said lead whats the heck is it worth, I said lead as in ammo as long as I got lead I can take your gold!
If it comes to that, it is time to take heed of the Solzhenitsyn quote on my FR home page. Past time, really.
