Preppers’ PING!!
Preppers’ PING!!

Look what is happening right before your eyes and take heed.
You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become thier ‘serf’. Me I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.
Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm banklet and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!
For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3
I also like to recomend FReeper’s ChocoChipCookie Blog The Survival Mom (Please Blog Police let this one slide!) Where you can get lots of useful information like:

“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.”
What really ticks me off is,
with all this news coverage and footage,
NOT ONE window shutter did I see!
Here in S FL, I go to great lengths to make sure I have shutters for every opening. And not seeing one shutter, in NJ, just tells me they didn’t do anything to prepare.

Well,that’s what you get when you choose to live in a large metro area where your entire existance depends on the actions of someone else.
Dang. You’re already here. Not used to FR working this fast!
Hmmm....
Wonder if I shouldn’t stock up on some items to sell back east?
If someone will pay $7,000 for a generator I could fill a U-haul with some and other items, wait just outside a storm and bring in the necessary items for cash.
There isn’t any law against that is there?

now that's just sad. Even a poor person should be able to put together a 72hour kit much less a 7 day kit without much cost. There's still a lot of prepper training needed by this country, that's for sure.
How many would actually take such “training” if it were offered?
There’s really no one that isn’t aware of the need,
they just either don’t want to bother with it,
or it is against their “religion”. The religion of state worship.
Does anybody know if lead foil will protect electronic devices from EMP? Say, about 1/32” thick?
You’d be better off looking up that Youtube video about making an emp proof cabinet out of a standard office supply cabinet.
