  • So now what????

    Alright... so it is what it is.... I don't like it, you don't like it, but it is what it is...

    Lot of blurbs last night all over survivalist forums how "I'm gonna start prepping hard now" once it became evident what was happening.

    OK, so the economy has changed little, for the worst most places. The overall "theme" if you will with new preppers the last 4 years has been how they "don't have money to prep."

    So..... that's probably not going to change drastically now due to comrade mugabe's cousin getting elected....

    So either it's TALK or if money is an issue- and it's ALWAYS an issue- your going to have to make cuts in other categories, move expenditures around, get a second job to pay for preps, etc.

    If ya'll been paying any attention over the years I've been on line, I've never said TSHTF is close, etc. I've always pushed the "slow and steady wins the race" mantra.

    Well.... IT DOES, given enough TIME.

    It does not win the race when that time is spent in TALK. When that time is spent solely on "research" of things you will likely never DO.

    So.... if your BELIEFS are real, ACTIONS should come out of your beliefs. If you truly feel we are fudged now as a country, then you will ACT based on that belief. Talk is cheap.... Plans that never get done are cheap....... Good intentions are cheap....

    NONE OF THESE THREE WILL PROTECT YOUR FAMILY nor help preserve the Republic.

    I urge everyone to begin working with haste to:

    *Get out of all long term consumer debt- didn't say you had to whack up your cards, but it's not a bad idea :)
    *Get physically fit, lose the extra weight, cut out or back considerably off of unnecessary drugs
    *Where it's even remotely possible, get the fudge away from highly populated areas. Their is a reason the cities went liberal more than a lot of the rural areas last night. Look at an election coverage map of Georgia for example. Most of Georgia below I16, west of I95 and east of I75 is red. The blue spots are the retarded liberals in cities.
    *Build up an absolute minimum of a 1 year supply of storage food for your entire family, plus 10% for friends and extended family that WILL show up when the time comes. It doesn't have to be freeze dried Filet Mignon... but you do need to be able to sustain your family AT LEAST a year.
    *Develop long term viable alternate sources for heat, light and cooking.
    *Stock up on ammunition, begin attending professional training classes ASAP before they are outlawed. If you think your too awesome for instruction, go find a good instructor and get humbled, lose the pride and THEN begin to truly learn.
    *TEACH YOUR KIDS, THE CHILDREN IN YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY AND ANY CHILDREN YOU HAVE REGULARLY CONTACT WITH, about what America was, what America is supposed to be. If at all possible pull your children out of the public indoctrination system and home school them. Use an accredited program if possible so no one can argue the legitimacy of what your doing.
    *Pray, humble yourself before God, ask Him in to your heart and to forgive you of your sins.

      I will start with the last line first and put the others in their "appropriate to my situation" respectful order.

      My wife showed me how I was unbalanced in my preps by not having short/medium term preps in food for the kiddos...I love that woman :)

          Took my wife to the TruPrep store (yes, we have a brick and mortar prep store within 5 miles of me) and had her look at the LTS food. She made about a page and a half list of things that'd make life a LOT easier. I got the basics pretty much covered for the time frame I have built up....but she pointed out dozens of things I just walked by. Different angle and a second set of eyes are always a good thing. The only questions is....what did I ever do to deserve a woman like her :D

          Guess that's why God made women....to help make up for our shortcomings.

            My wife and I are always going over our CSR (Current status report). Semi-annually we go over our SOG's and our emergency plan. Yes...we have gotten THAT formal with everything because we have a lot to take care of (Kids, critters, and community). We have gotten incredibly creative with our preps and have gotten a LOT of folks in our Church, Fire Dept., and Community First program on board as well.
            While my wife and I have specific assigned areas of focus, she always gives me feedback and.......assistance...yeah, I will call it assistance. Of course she is always right but I cant ever admit that...it goes against Man code.

                My wife and I are pretty much squared away. Not gonna give details. I agree though, it's a lifestyle. You don't let it own you, but have to be committed. We are definately getting more food( for those family members who will be fed and sent on their way). If you don't have it, you'd better get it! I have a responsibility as a parent.

                    Good thoughts and admonitions Admin.

                    Like many, we are well on the road to where we want to be but still have much we want and need to do to reach our goals. Realistically though, we never stop prepping since it involves more than just stocking up (yes I know that's not news to anyone here). Months ago some experts were discussing the ramifications of a second term for BO. It involved financial meltdown and most gave us 12 to 18 months into his second term before collapse. We know he's going to go all out now that he has no worry about running again.
                    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

                      yip once some of my "job" junk eases up, were gonna get back into the habit of the fl;ubber battle. Also will be expanding our garden, hopefully by early spring/late winter will have some egg layers and our well figured out.

                      My goals are mostly homestead related vs gear/prep related right now as im sitting on a decent prep load ,
                      My biggest worry was to get out of the city and we did thank goodness. folks who can need to get out.
                      IMHO it was the best "prep" we ever made.And some here know i aint made of money so if my sub blue collar self can do it anyone can .......

                          By Spring I should be out of here and setting up on my own land in the boonies in the Midwest, if things hold together that long; all I can do is keep trying. Everything else on the list is coming along as the budget allows. Prep, prep, prep. Plan, plan, plan; It's a way of life, not a quick fix.
