And the list goes on and on and on on reasons why to be prepared. Im there with you.
When I was still working my 9-5 all I could do to prepare was purchase goods and stockpile. I did that, never enough but with limited capital i have what i have stored away. Now im working on sustaining food and water and heat. Shelter is here, but if shelter was to come down then things get a little tougher.
Even with all the steps I think I have taken.. i feel I will never be fully prepared for a SHTF scenario. But I will be a bit more ready than most others. I think a big first step in preparing is simply thinking about your current situation.
Galen, you write excellent posts. Good luck to you Sir, in Aussieland.
Thanks mate, I just write what's in my head.
Being prepared can be as simple as having a box of bandaid's and some panadol in the cupboard. I still maintain that if people are not prepared for some of the more realistic scenario's then they are going to be a victim, or at least are at risk of it should trouble visit.. Think home invasion for one. no one could ever prepare for everything that may happen, but there's a lot people can be prepared for.
Great example of once of those events you never really think would occur.. good to be prepared for yes.
