I have always been one to be organized, make lists, and have plans and backup plans galore. Currently, I am in the list-making and knowledge-gathering phase of prepping. I do have one advantage, though. I am married to a SERE (Survival-Evasion-Resistance-Escape) instructor, and much of the very useful supplies and knowledge has been provided by our nation's military.
For quite a while now, I was convinced--like a sad majority of our country's citizens--that our freedoms would always exist and America, as the founding fathers created it, would always prevail. I thought that the reason things seemed to be getting worse was that I was just paying more attention to the state of affairs, etc. But for the past year, or so, I have begun to realize that it was more than that. Something awful--be it solar flares killing the power grid, total economic collapse, our own president hating our country enough to turn America into a socialist nation, all of the above--is imminent; completely unavoidable... I'm not telling anyone on here anything new, I realize. I just wanted to give everyone some background on myself and my situation so that people can help with any and all advice on how to put my lists and plans into action. Thanks!
