I am not personally prepared.
The Lord has seen fit that I should rely on Him
instead of on my “preps”.

During the “runup” to the coming SHiFT,
I have had neither the time nor the resources
to get preps in place, the latter being removed
for reasons beyond my control.

Perhaps I won’t need them for some reason? Who knows...

Don't feel too bad about that. I've been preparing in a rather half-hearted way for years by stockpiling things I hear a person will need when the SHTF, putting only as much time, money and effort into it as I can comfortably afford, with a vague notion that we will have to "bug out" somewhere when it all goes downhill -- even though we really have nowhere else to go. Nor can we afford to buy a place out in the country now for that arguably unlikely eventuality, and probably wouldn't survive the roadblocks trying to get there anyway.

Then, I happened across this article last week. It really is quite hopeless for all but the most fit, trained, young, committed, Ranger-ready guerrillas among us. There was a time I could've given it a shot. It seems like not so long ago. But not anymore; it's not for an old guy like me with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
