It’s going to be a hell of a ride. That’s why I spend a lot of effort asking folks to consider their location, should the S hit the F.

Last week, Anderson Cooper had a show on about of all things, preppers.

He asked for a show of hands from the audience about how many had a three day supply of food, water, and needed meds.

This was an audience of about 60 or so, and as you can imagine, nearly entirely middle class soccer mom types driving SUV’s or whatever.

NOT MORE THAN FOUR hands went up.

I was stuned! Truly stuned!

No matter how deep we keep trying to convince people we’re in, it’s deeper than that!

Matt, thank you for a very informative and well reasoned article.

What is your best estimation for the time frame from the "trigger event" to the SHTF going full force?

[sand88]

Matt, I think my question should be reworded. I am curious do you think we will have a "heads up" on knowing with absolute certainty that the trigger events you discuss are about to happen? Or, will it all unfold without warning.

Most Americans are oblivious to so much. I am hopeful that those of us on FR can provide warning to our friends and families who are not so cognizant of matters.
