Being Prepared

Kellene, the Preparedness Pro, has brought up a good point about being prepared. Her articulate article, Tornado Warnings for Us All, is not about tornadoes, but about being prepared for what is happening in the world today.

On the Idaho Preppers Network, there is an article that is meant to inspire people to be preparing to be dependent on themselves and their neighbors when trouble starts in.

Jim Rawles of the Survival Blog is all about survival, of course, and he says: "The purpose of [his] Blog is to inform and motivate readers to take steps that will help prepare themselves and their families. Survival is not just about guns, groceries and gadgets. More importantly, it is about having friends that you can trust when times get hard, such as for:

--A Dollar Crisis/Monetary Collapse (witness the current hyperinflation in Zimbabwe)
--Naturally occurring plague or pandemic
--Nuclear Blackmail (North Korea and China have already made public threats)
--Terrorist LNG fuel sector or power grid attack
--Terrorist nuclear, biological, or chemical attack
--Fuel and/or food shortage crisis
--Major volcanic and/or earthquake events
--Nation-state nuclear, biological, or chemical attack

What I am getting at is that there are a lot of people, from many different viewpoints, all saying that we need to be prepared, and to get it done now, and they show us different ways to prepare. Our LDS church leaders have also warned us for many years to be prepared. How are you doing? Are you ready?
