In reply to Todd. Damn this is an old post, but I've looked everywhere for this letter and was unable to find it. I think this may be the one that warns friends and family to take preparations for themselves? Any assistance would be appreciated.

tell your friends and familys that prepping is not always for the end of the world[touchy subject] but for unseen events .small stuff like needing help with a emergency trip ,best friend looks after dog , aunty waters the plants, ma and pa watch house and mail, that is prepping. and from there it will become a logical thing and not a fear. start in the shallow end of the pool not the deep end.

Prepping is for the small stuff, little bumps in the road. I am not working but I am going thru my suff! I want to share with you these thoughts. A twenty dollar apple tree, or food tree suitable for your area, can feed your family for the next hundred years. You can store the calories of dried fruit. Best tree out there is a pecan tree. The canopy is large the calories are massive. Plant several trees , many locations, and perennials too! Many people will let you gleen trees that they no longer want the fruit. Find these neighbors and cultivate relationships!
Also, thank goodness the government is here to give food stamps, and other social security benefits or we would have already been freaking out. Production jobs equal security and familiarity with tools. The kids these days do not know how to fix, repair, or produce much. We need to share our knowledge and ask the elderly questions before they are all gone. Knowledge is power.

The sad thing is, prepping should truly be for those smaller events that may happen. It is all about self preservation and being ready in all aspects of your life, even as simple as a couple hour power outage! Great post!

I’m fed up and sick of all the police and the government and offshore banking cartel’s destruction of my wages, liberty and ultimately my life that I am looking forward to a SHTF day when I can skullfuck an armed operative, take his “super-soaker” and along with an armed mob of those just like me, waste everything that still wears a uniform. I am a veteran of an elite airborne unit, I have skills in wrecking unspeakable destruction upon that which I see fit to do it to, and have done so in times past, but with meritable valor. I am not by any means a hot air dickhead, but since youth I have kept the values of upstanding ways and since I have began to see the overbearing influx of those who believe and subsequently practice otherwise, I have made it a point to gain capabilities to counteract abovesaid skeezers. Hail justice!

I have had trouble with my friends and some of my family.I just tell them , ” it will be me standing in a line for bread, not them” Let me do what I need to”. My hubby thinks I am nuts too, But they will all love me, If SHTF and there is food and water in the house. I have enough for 4 people for 2-3 months right now. will be adding ALOT more this summer.

In reply to Paul. I agree. keeping secrets is a must when it comes to survival. The way I see it, how can I ever help anyone later on down the line if 100 people show up as soon as anything happens. That is my goal when all this goes to hell. And its really important to not say a word to your neighbors. They'll expect help, no matter what. I'm lucky because most of my neighbors are not within seeing distance, so I can do alot outdoors without people noticing. one last thing, I was told a while ago that the most important thing not to forget when it comes to prepping is to be spiritually and mentally prepared. Without these assets you'll be up a creek.
