Reading this list of comments, it’s frankly depressing to learn how many Americans are still following ol’ Santa-for-grownups in 2012. Get a grip folks. Human actions got us to this economic point and only human actions will determine the future from this point forward.

I’d almost *wish* for an overall civilization reset if I thought it would bring an end to religion with it. Unfortunately, history shows us that dark times are when religions prosper.

my partner is looking forward to the collapse of our system and is hopeful that after a period of hardship we will all come together.
On the other hand i am terrified. for one, I live in a rough area where you are robbed for drug money. I live in the UK. I am scared because I know we will be targeted and probably killed. my daughter is pregnant, thats a worry in case she goes into labour and theres no help.
Also my whole family live on the same street as me. they laugh at all this talk and call me an extremist. could I really sit back and watch them die? they will beg for help. there are close to 20 people in my family. I couldnt possibly help them all./ also I already have anxiety and stress over every day life, imagine me, ******, I am dreading this so much.
I pray for us all. I pray that we will all come together and change the way we think. I just hope we have enough about us to survive x

If something were to happen, and the Economy were to collapse, or something even worse, you WOULD need to be prepared. Such as storing up water and sterilizing it. Make everthing you get last longer than it would if you could just run to your local Supermarket. Life wouldn’t be easy if something were to happen to the economy. All the essentials were told of up above. Now, for a Community, your family would be the best one. At least 4 people could survive. my guess would be up to about 8. Enough where you could survive, but not so many that supplies go down like there’s no tomorrow.

El Chophead you are a dumm @$$, I believe in God and I have guns. In fact I know how to make ammunition. Hopefully when SHTF it takes you out with it. Just like your freedom of speach, I’d like to share some of mine with you too. This country was founded on God and our right to bare arms. If you don’t like that go back some where else you idiot. Its people like you who have turn this country into hell. I bet you even voted for Obama. Nuff said.

Exactly what harm can come from being prepared? Do like the Mormons do and store your goods. Once your stores are complete rotate your food and resupply what you need putting items at the end of the line.
Makes sense.
If you live within 50 miles of a big city you are going to be a target. Be prepared, it can’t hurt.
You can sure pick out the liberals here. They think anyone who doesn’t fall in lock-step with their ideology is dumb and they are quick to apply labels.
If a conservative goes to a movie and doesn’t like it they walk out. If a liberal doesn’t like a movie they don’t want anyone to watch it.
They’ll be the first demographic to fall while they wait for a non-existent government to come bail their sorry butts out.
Be prepared, tech your family and children how to shoot as well as weapons safety. A .22LR is a cheap round and will drop most small game.

Oh…and I think it might be better to be a little dirty. Again, you don’t want people to realize that you have comforts.

I see things on homesteading sites sometimes that I think are big mistakes unless you live so far out no one can see you. Even then, you might not be safe if someone discovers your road or driveway. Don’t get solar panels on your roof. You’re just asking for people to invade if they see there’s electricity. Wind power too. It isn’t soft and cozy, but you’re best bet is to at least appear “uncomfortable”. That means no more than candles and flashlights. On the other hand, I think if you’re house appears completely dark it may be an invitation to people hoping its unoccupied. Keep your gardens as out of sight as possible. You don’t want them visible from roads or neighbors if it is avoidable. In the event that martial law is declared they can come in and take any food or water that they consider excess. Dig a pit, place stores inside, and disguise it if martial law is declared. As far as lacking toilet paper, its simple. You wipe your arse with a leaf that’s what you do! Lol

Dont forget to bring knowledge! By this i mean books on sustained wilderness survival and herbal medicine relevant to your part of the world. Remember that at some point your “modern” supplies will run out and you will have to sustain yourself through knowledge of things such as hunting, fishing, gathering edible plants, medicine etc.

You forget one thing. God does not give us the spirit of fear. Fear ,doubt comes from the lower power. He has you where he wants you. All that is happening can not be averted but trust in the Lord is what we need.
Faith without works is dead,Pray as though it depends on God and work as though it depends on you.Nothing wrong with preparation and plenty wrong with fear.
We have two fears.We are afraid we will loose something we think is ours. Nothing belongs to us.Even our lives.It belongs to God.We are caretakers of it. Do not give it to Obama again.
We are afraid we will get something we don’t want.We don’t get what we want we get what we need.He is our provider. Author and finisher.

I could argue with many of you regarding the Lord Jesus and quite possibly you would never consider it.
The truth is the Bible foretells everything any of you are mentioning, the collapse, unbelief, etc. The Bible says it will be a horrible time that the world has never seen.
Eventually, one third of the people in the world will be destroyed, the one world govt and religion will be in place and you will take a mark in the hand or forehead to buy or sell. Taking this mark will mean you will go to hell. It is all a part of the devils plan to levy his pride into power. These actions will lead to Jesus’ return where all the forces of Satan will be defeated and all the people aligned with such. Remember the ark, folks. God loves us but will not spare any of us–he is warning us NOW! Yes, I want to survive, but I’d rather go to Heaven. Remember too, the Lord will remove all people who have obeyed His Truth. Look back in history after you read the book of Acts in the Bible. A lot of people, like now, offer “easy believing” and a candy coated gospel that was NOTHING like what Jesus preached or the apostles . Jesus said if we receivedHis Sporit, we could be changed and if we didn’t have that Spirit, we were none of His. I know firsthand that God can change ANYONE if they are willing!

Jesus is coming to get those people that are ready and then it is ALL going to come upon the earth and no one will be laughing.
Yes, prepare for the collapse, but if you’re not ready spiritually, you WILL NOT survive the wrath of God. May the honest hearts heed the warning, in Jesus’ Name!

ALL this Religious CRAP has LITTLE or NO Meaning in REALITY or the REAL WORLD ; RELIGION IS ALL BOGUS/MEDEVIAL/UNSCIENTIFIC & FANATICAL IN ITS VERY NATURE , ITS THE IGNORANT RANT AGAINST the TRUTH .

EVEN IF You did ALL 20 things Recommended , You might NOT Survive at all for even a very short period of time ; in the event of Catistrophic Events , UNKNOWN VARIABLES/UNACCOUNTED FOR POSSIBLITIES CAN/MIGHT circumvent the BEST LAID PLANS ; BUT , haveing a PLAN is BETTER than “NOT” haveing a PLAN .

This list is nice but short sighted. All this stuff will belong to the men in gangs with guns who will simply kill to take all. You want to survive: become a police man–u get a gun and a tight gang immediately, radios and organization, too.
Prepare to get and be deeply primative for the rest of your short lives.

I read this blog to get info on how 2 prepare for an extended emergency. I live in the tornado belt and the 72 hr (3 day)prep is standard in my household. There was some good advice in the blog but some of the comments left a lot to be desired. Wheather the disaster is caused by natural, manmade, economic, political or religious circumstances, let everyone add extra according to their belief system and not use this as a soap box for their favorite hobby horse. Use it to offer suggestions how to live through the disaster. You can add weapons and books to your kits as you see fit. My great-grand parents survived with preperation, and while their preperation included a hunting rifle and a bible, feel free to choose your own stand.

If you are in an urban area, you will be a goner, expect home invasions by people with guns to get your food, people will kill to get food for their kids, have an alternate location escape route. Obama has set it up so those who do not want to work will take over al the wealth in urban areas.

HAHAHAHA!!!,….. with a major exception?

MOST of the natural resources are destroyed now thanks to the over farming of corn, poison dirty water supply, wiped out species of plants and forests, smoggy environments, and shear loss of will power from the millions of zobified public saturated in pharmaceuticals approved by your government sanctioned FDA’s allowing side effects that need more drugs to counter act the symptoms?,..

and POOF you woke up!,. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!?!?

in fact,.. retards like you are the reason the countries circling the drain?

to even say that in a half assed joking manor puts you on the endangered list as first to eradicate so good people can live,. Hitler had the right idea, just targeted the wrong people, it’s dip-shits like you that should have been gassed

ass-hats like you piss me off, DO SOMETHING RIGHT AND APOLOGIZE FOR THAT COMMENT
