Being prepared is not a “Left, or Right” thing, Its a survival thing.

Please don’t let the stigma that others place on being prepared stop you. Being prepared is for everything from civil unrest coming from protests that get out of hand, to storms, earthquakes and hurricanes, to terrorism, to EMP or Solar Flare. What started me on the track was the earthquakes in LA in 94, then the LA riots in 2001.We moved to rural areas after that. But, then I became complacent (normalcy bias) until I learned about the 2012 solar flare that missed us by a hair. I came to realize had that hit, I would have been up a creek (not the one in my backyard either-LOL) and with a disabled son to care for, I was very ill prepared for anything. Might I suggest a quick read, if you havent done so already? “One Second After”. It may be about an EMP aftermath, but what it really showed me was how we rely on so many everyday things that are simple, but we take for granted. And how without them we are so not prepared to deal with basic life and how tragic that can be. Good luck and happy prepping. 🙂
