are you prepared?survivalism for dummies

survivalism, prepping

Economic meltdown, pandemic flu, plague, food shortages etc…. Are you prepared? Surviving isnt just having money in the bank. Not just a few cans of food stashed in the pantry. What will YOU do when the banks close, when everyone you know is out of work(including yourself), when sickness is all around you? Are you ready? Did’nt think so. Well as I surf the net I find an alarming number of survival sites with many many members. The news(that you actually see) is loaded with doom and gloom, and a surprising number of news stories ya just don’t hear at all, anywhere. Now I’m NOT a “survival nut” with a little cabin in the middle of nowhere and a large number of guns and explosives I’m a realist, and a survivor, a blogger and a biker. But I would like to see whats happening in our country in the next ten or so years. Y’eah, I know, oh it’ll be ok, The Guvmint will take care of us. Nuthin’ will happen to ME. But what if we are wrong? What if….

Can YOU survive? Even just three days? Without electric, without gas, without money, without medical help? Well, can ya?? The eggheads(scientists) predict that in 2012 the sun will have huge solar flares that may wipe out this country’s elecrtic grid, and even sooner a worldwide flu pandemic will sweep the earth. Are ya ready? Some may have noticed I have added a new link section”surviving the end days” also known as WTSHTF(when the s**t hits the fan)LOTS of good info on what, how and when out there! Take advantage of it!. Click the links to see what others are sayin’.
OK, heres what I’d do- start a garden THIS year, and i don’t mean a couple potato, tomato, and pepper plants. I mean a substantial garden. Grow enough for this summer and at least 90 days in the winter, and start canning. You know, like grandma did. Get you a root cellar to store that 90 day supply in, and find a way to protect it. Have at least SOME money stashed away. Got guns? got ammo? Make sure you get some and stash that too!Ya know, if the electric grid goes down that means no fuel for the car, truck or tractor so do you have hand tools for the garden? First aid? Have a first aid Kit? What about seeds for the garden, water and clothing stashed away? Yer gonna need all this stuff to survive. I know, I know, this is supposed to be a HUMOR site but…. What if? Did I getcha thinkin’? If it gets real bad do y have a place ya can hunker down?- Yer all welcome at the MYB Campground, we can watch the world end together, maybe roast a few marshmallows, and have a few brews…….

Well it’s been real cold here in sunny Cal this past few days, hard to gather wood for the fire an all that, but the barn cats are doin’ ok(box cats) my neighbor Fred cut up a few deer and threw the scaps over the hill and them cats have been chowin down big time. Gonna have to call ‘em “fat cats” soon! GB doin ok too, but havent seen hide or hair of GH or GL. Me n B make quite a team cuttin’ and loadin’ firewood. I don’t get the road department, had a few hairy moments goin’ up to the ridge yesterday as (as usual) no salt or grit on the road at all! Thought I was gonna slide all the way back down Norman Ridge road(1/10
