The country is a mess. The state you live in is a mess. The county you live in is a mess. The city you live in is a mess. But what have you performed to prepare for disaster from any force whether manmade or natural?

Have you electrical power? Solar/NaturalGas/Propane/Gasoline Generator(s) to generate electricity for your various needs? Water? Food? Shelter? How about a library whether hardcover/paperback/electronic? What about personal defense?

The goal of this thread is to describe your ideas to become self-sufficient within reasonable personal means, independent of the messes that most know pre-exisit in an arbitrary world.

Make a comment about what you have performed and/or plan to do.

Let's be honest. Our country really isn't "a mess" - nor are our states, counties, or cities. There are a lot of places in the world that are in bad shape, here in the USA, that is not the case.

Now, natural disasters are another story. Sometimes they happen. The biggest threats we have in central Ohio are tornadoes and ice storms/blizzards. In the event of either, lack of utilities for a week or so would be the worst part.We have plenty of water and non-perishables, a fireplace, and a gas grill. We'd be fine. We usually have one or two bad storms a year and at least one major winter event.

Worst case, we have plenty of family, friends and neighbors nearby.

Not sure what you mean by "manmade" but There will never be a zombie apocalypse...

Why don't you be honest? The place is a freak show. Worst economy in history when ratiometrically measured to ALL combined city/county/state/federal government debt while more people work for those same entities in all of history.

Worst case, we have plenty of family, friends and neighbors nearby.

Sort of a narrow view, don't you think?

Living off the "fat" o' the land, aren't ya?

What's your point?

Narrow? Naw ... it is all about "quality of life" and when QoL plummets a little uprising occurs. It is a fairely simple principle. It is imbued in thousands of years mankind's documented history whether real or imagined.

Living off the "fat" o' the land, aren't ya?

You seem to have only a "plan" to live off of other's generousity. You havn't done much for yourself.

Live off others' generosity?

that's another narrow view.....We're quite capable of taking care of ourselves, and in reality - friends, family and neighbors are welcome to gather in MY home if mother nature causes a temporary interruption....as my family would be welcome in theirs. Can you grasp the difference?

I believe the preppers are wasting an enormous amount of time, effort and resources hoping for their catastrophic apocalypse.....JMHO

QOL "plummets"? Are you serious? QOL has never been better in this country.

Americans live in luxury. Medicine, science and technology are improving our standard of living by leaps and bounds! We are smarter, better fed, more pampered, relaxed and happy! On what quality of life issues are you focusing?

Uprising? Please, there will be no uprisings, that is ridiculous.

Thank you. It was the very least I could do for your earlier response. I have a recomendation for you: pull your head out of your ass and look around.
