One of two things are going to happen: a long term "situation" from which very, very few will emerge. They will be the strong and prepared ones.
The weak, . . . unprepared, . . . unable to cope, . . . will not survive.
OR: a short term situation lasting up to maybe 1 or 2 years, . . . think EMP strike, . . . collossal weather abberation, . . . major financial meltdown.
THIS IS THE ONE most of us can prepare for. Food supply for your family size unit for a year or so, . . . ability to forage, . . . fresh or at least clean water supply available, . . . shelter, . . . weapons & tools for protection.
Start out prepping for the short one, . . . when you are ready for it, . . . start thinking long term.
Just remember, . . . we are not going to totally rebuild today's society, . . . we are going to survive, . . . much different mind set required.
May God bless,
