Time to Get Started If You Haven’t

During the past few weeks we have been spending time – helping a neighbor install a 12′ x 40′ tin roof on their barn – helped a friend work on his homestead – donated some time and training to a “residence” for some folks who were in need and gave them some seeds and some hands on planting tips and how to’s. In return we received the feeling of “this is how we are all supposed to live.” I have been away from my family for close to two weeks now doing the things that must be done; yet my wife was still encouraging me to spend time helping others. In no way is this tooting my own horn – saying “look at me.” This story is meant to be a reminder that shortly, we will all need to be helping each other. I find it continually amazing that the masses spend all their time in shopping malls, or on social media, or glued to the T.V. while all around them Rome burns. In our state, we have experienced this year – hottest day ever recorded, hottest summer ever recorded, coldest day ever recorded, strongest straight line wind ever recorded, largest hail stone ever recorded, largest earthquake ever recorded (these are all I can remember) and the year still has almost two full months left. Now add Greece’s debt nightmare with Italy close on their heals (if Italy goes it will take Europe’s largest banks with it), QE3 on the horizon, unavailability of M.R.E.’s (which we carry), long back order times on freeze dried foods, 87 bank failures in U.S. this year alone, 48% of population on some sort of government subsidy, unemployment, skyrocketing debt (federal, state and local, education), unfunded government mandates……this apple is ripe for picking. Hence, “time to get started if you haven’t.”
We attended a preparedness seminar recently and sold out the inventory we took with us. Folks drove over 250 miles just to attend. It was chock full of products, supplies and seminars for those who feel the pressure starting to rise. If you have read this far, you are feeling it too. If you are getting prepared, congratulations and please spread the word. If you are simply considering it, don’t wait too long.

Here’s a quote I recently read, (cannot remember where or I would give credit) “Act like a prepper now and avoid the last minute rush.”
