In my world Everyday is a shtf day. Some days just more of it. LOL
Prepping to me is just a thought of mind, people prep for anything, a wedding, a parents inevitable death, the posibility of a childs death. Some like me choose to "try" and prep for everything. Years ago, I was not prepared for anything. I ran through life blind, thinking I could not save because I was trying to survive. I lost my job in WV, and everything was getting turned off. I borrowed enough money to leave, came to NC. I found a job and started over with nothing but loving family. Worked jobs, and survived. The bills from my past still haunted me, and I still could not figure out how to pay them. I eventually filed bankrupcy. that payment was still well over 1,000 a month, plus all living expences current, rent- utilities, etc.
When a person files bankrupcy in NC, they are required to take money managment classes. It was the beginning to a whole eye opening experience. 95% of people that ever file bankrupcy never finish it. (they are in dire straights by the time they try, and are unwilling to change thier situation, to make it different) I wasnt one of them. I took my second chance and ran with it. Anyone who says they dont have extra money to do this or that, well financially S has hit the fan for you. you are 2 steps from bankrupcy and its by choice. I think I will start a thread on this subject to personnally be of any assistance I can for anyone. OR anyone can start a personal conversation with me by clicking on
my name, and start conversation. I would prefer to do it in the open, so the many that are shy, can relate to thier own lives.
SHTF has happened several times in my life BECAUSE i was unprepared. A situation I plan to never be in again. I own my own company now, I employ people, so does my wife, I have rentals, I buy what I want when I want, and have earned every cent.
Get your everyday lives in order my friends, and you will be more prepared for ANYTHING. We all talk about disasters, many of us are walking disasters waiting to happen right now. PREPPING is not just stashing a bunch of stuff, or having maps to somewhere. A hundred guns, and 10,000 bullets wont help you if that is all you have. Prepping is a mental state of mind, of being aware of where you are, where you want to be, where you dont want to be, but what you need if you find yourself where you dont want to be. Everything else takes care of itself.
We owe it to our loved ones, to have our feet on solid ground, everyday. If they are not.................S has already hit the fan for you.
Seek knowledge, overcome obsticles( many can be gone around not over) PREPARE. Snakeshit
