Macrossdyrl, Completely agree. Society is turning up-side-down quickly. Thankfully, husband, family, & some friends have the survival mindset. But let’s not forget, what is happening, and will happen, is foretold in the Bible. Pray, read & prepare!

George, Your comment stating, “Women are incapable of rational thought.” is extremely ignorant and wrong! Regroup and try again!

You make some excellent observations and ideas. Agree sometimes it is best to just provide a living example; actions often are louder than words. In addition to this, how would you personally awaken a family member who remains steadfast in their denial of reality? Thank you.

How has the unbelievable events occurring since 2020 altered your mindset, preparation, and lives? I’d wager most of us never imagined draconian lock downs, forced pokes to keep employment, travel, and attend school. Have you started, or drastically kicked up your preparing in the midst of events such as the insane weather like a tornado and numerous snowfall in CA?

My wife still denies there is any need for alarm. Sigh. At times it certainly feels like I am casting pearls before swine. We’ve experienced tornado warnings, blackouts, freezes, and other events. Yet despite it all, her stiff-neck prevails. I pray for the scales covering her eyes to be lifted. If you have a loved one who remains deceived, what have you done to awaken them?

Again today in 2023 we have multiple events that should give most people with a pulse to stop and think, we should prepare now! As of this post, I cannot imagine why people remain willfully blind. Since 2022, we have 100s of food production factories destroyed, numerous train derailments, the horrible Ohio chemical disaster, insane weather disasters, fentanyl crisis, southern border invasion, Great Reset, and looming war with CCP and Russia. So what have you done to awaken your loved ones since c19 to get their stubborn head out of the sand? I believe we are well-past the point of no return, things will never return to normalcy and will only worsen until complete collapse. What say you?

Yes it is honorable. I am a Christian as well and believe that it is important to read the Bible and prepare for what is going to happen. It might not be as far away as you think, if you know what I mean.

Your wife thinks you are a fool for prepping. If you don’t prep, or don’t prep enough, and something happens that will be your fault too. Women are incapable of rational thought.

then self care — cooking, laundry, personal finance — things that leaving-home college students mostly have no idea on how to survive life 101!!

I have been in the know of the coming pole shift for 8 years. I have tried telling people about it including members of my family just to have them turn around and call me crazy and laugh at me behind my back. I rarely talk about it anymore but its on my mind every single day. The hardest part is the fact that i know about it but am unable to do anything to try and save myself or my family. i don’t have the means or the help to try and build a bunker or move to a safer location. I know there has to be other people out there like myself that want to survive but r financially unable to. Does anyone out there know of any groups or places where ppl help ppl like myself? i have some assets to contribute but maybe joining up with others like myself will be better.

Amen sister here too. All of my family thinks the same. Every now and then my husband will say well maybe it’s good. But way to far between. He thinks something could happen but not in our life time. But like I tell him it’s for the grandkids. He has gotten to where he doesn’t say anything when I buy my preps which is normally 2 times a month. Hope we never need it. Peace, Faith and Love.
