A gracious “welcome to the community!” is better than “I told you so!”

John AdamaStaff - March 15, 2020

It’s tempting to be smug in moments like this. While COVID is horrible and we wish it hadn’t happened, since it is here, let’s be smart ambassadors an

When I speak to others about preparedness, I like to frame in terms of doing one’s civic duty, which maybe helps get across the gravity of it. Preparedness is not merely about looking after ourselves but also about being a model citizen and understanding what one’s duty is as a citizen.

Civil defense is everyone’s responsibility.

 

Well said

 

Been lurking for quite a while — here an other sites.  A bit of a hobbyist when it comes to survival, have some basic food, tools, water, etc.  Mostly, a lot of my camping gear plus modest additional supplies.  What I’m trying to say is, I’ve been THINKING about being prepped for a while, but haven’t fully acted on it.  Now, 4 days ago my wife turns to me and says, “You’ve been talking about this for 10 years, what do we do?” and my response was “I don’t know?!?! AHHHHH!!”

Kidding… a little.

You’ve got a good site and good information and, good perspective (i.e. not judgmental, not preachy, realistic).

And… I intend to capitalize on my wife’s newfound appreciation for all of this by upping my game some and doing a better job myself.  Thanks!!

 

I guess I have been a prepper for most of my life. I truly enjoy and respect these views and articles, it is so nice to read articles that are unbiased and have honest and valuable information. Please keep up the great work, thanks!

 

hi fellows , thanks for  your  welcome . We togheter can and will better prep for anything to come.

 

This has been a great opportunity to introduce folks to the need to prepare. Many have never considered it for various reasons, all of which they now know are excuses. Since Covid it’s been a joy to talk with and help others begin their journey into self reliance. Theprepared and their website/information makes it easy to get people started. And for those already well into their journey it’s a great source of advanced information and reinforcement, or not, of past endeavours. Rethink and test your plans, right?

We welcome everyone who wants to be prepared for themselves and their families. Feels good to sit back during a time of crisis knowing you can help others rather than be in line drawing down any available resources in emergencies. Welcome to the lifestyle, it’s very reassuring……
