Did your Grandad have a rifle and ammo in the house?" Over 90% will answer yes, and from there I point out that they weren't survivalists, they just did what they needed to do, to ensure that they had the stuff they would need, when they needed it.<br />Whether that need comes from Emergency/Disaster, Economic reasons, or some other cause, it's all about being able to provide for you and yours.<br />Be warned though...this conversation has, more often than not, lead to a long conversation about prepping, and preparedness, and usually ends up with people asking if you'll help them get started. Not saying it's a bad thing, just don't start the conversation if you have somewhere to be in 5 minutes.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419736506478222874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541830436907092832.post-19231490366889211802011-06-08T07:31:17.634-07:002011-06-08T07:31:17.634-07:00"What are you preparing for?"
I always t..."What are you preparing for?"<br />I always tell people to prepare for those events that HAVE happened and WILL happen again. Spend 80% of your time/effort/resources on those events that have already happened in your area: job loss, flood, house fire, etc. The other 20% is for the far out but still reasonable events: chemical train spill, looting, transportation stike (think of food not being delivered to your local store). Do not waste any time on end of the world crap or people from planet X, Y or Z.HaliBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186166833836884771noreply@blogger.com
