As I was driving to the market today, listening to a local call-in radio station, a caller was talking about when the terrorists attacked America on 9/11. He said he worked down the street from the the towers that were hit. When that happened he wanted to take his family and money, and flee to Canada, only four hours away. His thinking was that the towers were hit, the Pentagon was hit, and he was afraid that the nuclear power plant would be hit. He went to his bank and asked that his CDs be cashed in. The teller said that his CDs were traded on the stock market, the market was closed, so he couldn't cash them in. This caller was trying to get across to the listeners that there will be unexpected obstacles when there is a need to bug-out. I am sure that there are many little things, that could actually end up being big things, that will go wrong when times get bad. The caller was urging people to be as prepared as possible, for anything possible. How prepared are you?

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?
