Link RemovedI bought an extra flashlight for Y2K. I learned my lesson then.
I was watching Tv, of course it was for end of days December 2012, it got me to thinking, "what do I have to be prepared, just in case?" I got a quick ammo check, and sadly realize, the only ammunition I have any abundance of is .22 ammo. My 40 cal is dangerously low, my 9mm is even lower and my .380 not even worth mentioning.
Thankfully my years in the army have me prepared with gear such as ruck sacks, cold weather gear, containers to hold water and keep it on myself and my wife. My year and a half or so as an LEO (of sorts) has me prepared to keep weapons and ammo on my duty belt.
However, food supplies are that of an unconcerned person, nothing is stock piled, then again I wouldn't dream of holding up inside my home, or Flint City for that matter.
So my question is, are you prepared? If so, in what ways? What do you have incase ***** happens?
My family and I have been "prepping" for over a decade now. I can tell you this much: survival is not about stockpiling enough to "ride out the storm". True survival is storing up enough supplies to help you transition from everyday life back to the days of a pre-technology era. No one can store up enough food and supplies to survive for years. They will 1) become a target 2)run out 3) food/supplies will go bad and/or a host of other variables. To truly survive is to live every day in a "normal" sense as folks did in the 1800s. Take the Amish, for example- they are the ultimate survivalists. Could we go from the way we live today to the way the Amish live, overnight? It takes a lot of learning and preparing to do it, hence the "transition" period. Don't fret and stress yourself out about trying to gather supplies, food and ammo. Just set aside a few months' worth of goods to help you during that transition period. That's when your post-collapse life really begins- living by your every-day work, instead of out of a cache. Just my .02, for what it's worth.
What's with the negative waves? Come on people!
Look, if the mainstream is going to promote December 21st as the "End of the World",... then I'm going public and boldly declare December 22, 2012 as the "Beginning of the New World!" YEAH!
Now, see how much money I just saved everyone?
Rats! I hope Obama doesn't try to take credit for this idea! I had better delete this post right away.
If the world does end in 2012 obama will say it was Bushes fault.

Slightly incorrect on the food storage. I know people with 2+ years of food storage. And I have stuff in my basement with a 30 year shelf life.

Nothing will return to normal. You'll all end up shooting and eating each other before it's over.There is really no amount of supplies you can buy that will get you through until things returned to normal.
