Prepping is Being Aware and Being Prepared for the Difficulties Ahead

Americans Used to Prepare for Troubling Events That Were Likely to Occur

In days gone by, Americans were used to preparing for various things; such as a tough winter, extreme weather, crop failure, robbers or even a hostile Indian uprising.

It was considered a matter of good common sense to be prepared for such emergencies, as the chance of these things happening was a pretty good bet.

 The odds of you and your family surviving intact after any of these events happened without any real preparations was not good.

The America that we now live in has convinced many of its' citizens that good old Uncle Sam will automatically take care of all your needs in the aftermath of any tragedies, or not.

Yet the mainstream-media and many government officials deride citizens who prepare personally for various emergencies outside of government approved venues as some sort of paranoid conspiracy theorists. Why is that?

For those that do prepare for emergencies by stocking up on food, water and other essentials to assure their own families survival through difficult times is really an act of love, of self-reliance, and understanding that no one can totally depend on government or the kindness of others to help when society falls apart and things are turned upside down.

Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, 9/11 and Waco, Benghazi and Fukushima's nuclear poisoning of the oceans waters should remind us all of our government's failures to inform us or protect us from the true dangers or to take care of life's essentials in the aftermath of such events.

Consider also for a moment that if you have shown wisdom by preparing with food, water and other emergency supplies, you should also be prepared to defend you, your family and your families' life-line supplies from desperate looters, criminals and even terrorists in the event of extreme emergencies.
