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.

Actually Texas is not a mess to respond to disasters. We do it quite often. West TX and Hurricane Rita come to mind as well as Katrina in the Gulf areas. Texas responded well. The locals pull together. When West TX had the fertilizer plant explosion local emergency response was well managed. Hundreds of local churches opened their doors for the homeless, fed hundreds, provided clothing and even work. In the secular Northeast people went dumpster diving for food after Sandy while they waited for the Usurper in chief to bring them FEMA.

Yeah, we have a full fridge and freezer. I think we are ok for natural disasters, which normally have a short duration. If Bucky wants to know about preparations for solar flares or invasion by the elves and the gremlins or an end of the world, about the best he could do for long term survival is buy a couple of boxes of Hershey's Chocolate. What part of "end of the world," that they constantly talk about do they have a problem understanding? If the world ends as many of them predict, do they expect to live on a tiny slice of Mother Earth whizzing through the Galaxy while they are guzzling home brew? It all reminds me of the building of fall-out shelters craze of the Cold War Era.

You have to realize there is an increase of people in this country who now truly believe a zombie apocalypse "can" happen.

Yeah, I know. Superstition is very strong in many people, always has been. Weak minds or deluded minds, I guess it makes little difference. The fall of mankind under Satan's tempting has degenerated many things.

Seek penance for your personal sins, Donnie. Be humble and grovel at the feet of your Sunday school teacher's feet for forgiveness; and don't forget to drop a buck into the offering tray thus providing you relief to your guilt and forever damnation. But, whatever you do, don't intelligently plan ... oh no, here is where you have to consult your Bible for some obscure passage that might be quickly interpreted by your Sunday school teacher as applicable for your neglect for family, friends and business.

Au contraire, mon ami. I plan all the time. When things are planned out to my satisfaction, I stop worrying about it. So far my planning has been spot on. I first trust in God to take care of me as He has promised to do. Then, I use common sense to do what I should. It has worked out so far. It has gotten me to my current age of 68, through 25 years in the military including a tour of duty in Vietnam, etc etc. I know that God is looking out for me and when I die, I know where I am going.

So, tell us about your planning.

Your knowledge is by luck, by golly or by God! Doesn't sound like much of a plan.
