(Pensions not included) I'm most curious as to why people are prepping? Nobody has specified yet. People who prep must have a reason; what is your's? 1- Social breakdown (failed or overrun government, riots in the street, invasion by other nation(s)) 2- Asteroid or comet impact 3- Alien attack 4 - Any oogie-boogie related to the Mayan calendar/2012 apocalypse 5 - Nuclear war 6- Other, please specify "But just because we're hypnotized it don't mean we can't dance." - Tonio K because during the last storm and power outage Fema suggested people in our area keep a weeks supply of food, a wind up radio and flashlight, first aid kit and a way to purify water. seemed reasonably easy and cheap. so i did it. but again, i dont think im a prepper. just sort of prepared That sounds reasonable. Living in the stix, we do pretty much the same. Keep the freezer and pantry relatively full, always have a few days of most staples on hand - especially in the winter. I guess it's just a matter of degree as far as how ready a person is, and though the reason for the readiness may not be any of my personal business - I stay on watch for bizarre behavior when someone tells me the reason for their stash is aliens or asteroids or religious end-of-the-world stuff. I guess we can all thank them later when humanity survives the alien invasion only because of the small percentage of people who saw it coming." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
