There is a lot of concern out there.
Any good sites to buy gear for shtf prep?

I’ve learned how to do my own pressure canning this year.
Those who know me understand how weird that is.
Iron can prevent the uptake of plutonium.
Calcium can prevent the uptake of strontium.
Potassium can prevent the uptake of cesium.
I haven’t changed my tag for quite some time now.

‘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.
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 !
Statist bootlickers that they are, it does tend to shut them up.

That’s the kind of article that can reach the mainstream soccer mom.
gee after reading that list I feel so under prepared. lol. what is a bug out bag any way?
I have started a backyard farm. 3 Dexter heifers, a steer,yes I know I need a bull. 10 chickens and a garden. My best preventative though is I live in Texas.
I like to see that others are thinking self sufficiency, it raises your survival chances that much higher. I feel that “psychic feeling” as well; that we are on a great precipice and there is a great unease in the world and in the US. We are coming apart.
If you can, and have the willpower and the “hook”, get as many folks as you can to start believing the the goverment will NOT be there for them during an emergency, especially a nationwide one, which I truly believe is coming. Don’t expect food, power, clean water, any services, fire, police, medical, those services will be allocated to ensure the survival of government, not the citizens.
It will get ugly. People that you called friend and neighbor, you may be forced to send them away because they did not prepare themselves and now expect you to do it.
If you’re stocking up on canned goods for the apocalypse or whatever, make sure to get a variety. Nobody wants to be stuck eating green beans for the next ten years!
It seems like a lot of people are preparing to hole-up and try to survive the coming storm. I don’t have a problem with that and I too am working to protect my family. I have had enough, however, and when it finally hits I am going on offense.
People are waking up! And they don’t like what they are waking up too! The writting on the wall is plain to see that we are heading (or being driven, depending on your view) toward a economic collapse much like that of Argentina’s only MUCH bigger:

You need to remember that as a armed society and one which contains a much more violent crimial and entitlement minded element our collapse is much more likely to be much more violent than Argentina’s was/is. I see evidence in the daily news that in many big ‘blue’ cities you can expect what I call “Pocket pogroms” will be carried out and if you aren’t ‘Amish’ you better be ready to get out and quick!
For more information on living in a collapse economy I strongly suggest that you read Ferfal’s blog SURVIVING IN ARGENTINA: http://ferfal.blogspot.com
For those who would like to get started preparing my Preparedness Manual is available (THANKS!to eaker)for a free down load at:

Something bad is going to happen this year. I can feel it in my bones.
For preparedness information: listen to The Survival Podcast and read their forum. Lots of good stuff there.
