We have more luck with networking people and teaching irl. <br /> <br /> The constant setbacks and "do-overs" is wickedly frustrating.. but in turn it has taught us how to be really flippin' good at getting a garden going from scratch... how to do it for next to nothing.. how to locate resources, etc.<br /> <br /> Prepping/ preppers.. (thx to those lovely tv shows).. conjures less than flattering images. <br /><br /> There's a million mile long list as to why one should prep. That label turns a lot of people off. Perception and spin. I'm not helping others "prep".. I am teaching them how to can, how to garden, introducing them to new foods, seed saving, networking resources, etc. The tactic that works for me is "here.. taste this."<br /><br /> My point being.. if you've inspired someone to try any part of this for whatever reason.. to dabble in learning a new skill, it's movement in the right direction. <br /><br /> <br /> Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-9445703520896408552012-10-29T11:37:08.745-06:002012-10-29T11:37:08.745-06:00Awesome!

No, I don't have it in the 'bag' and neither does any one else who is in contact with reality. Maybe my favorite quote from Mother Teresa will help give you some peace of mind, "I know God won't give me more that I can handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much." That quote sure has helped more than once. He trusts me, to trust Him, to get through the rough spots.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-39511727036303305852012-10-25T19:13:29.745-06:002012-10-25T19:13:29.745-06:00Nice chemtrail shots :)Nice chemtrail shots :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-27898725790536058532012-10-25T19:12:21.800-06:002012-10-25T19:12:21.800-06:00It's tough talking to my adult kids.

Looking at all the signs & reading Revelations; it's adding up.<br /> <br />But, This is my delema...i am unsure of where a people can hide from all that's coming.<br />Drones are being deployed here in America now..or soon will be.. and look at basic Google Satellite...the Powers all have even better. So..my question is...how will hunkering down with guns and supplies be enough? <br />On a local level...there are peoples in our tiny town who view our large dog as a nice looking Roast, not a deterent.Our neighbor had his gun stolen (no serial #'s) ...added to the thousands of Guns that walked into Mexico, care of our Government. How many guns can stand up against a tide of determined Insurgents? Not so much Mexican folks but the ones who are now preparing for global jihad? America is a sitting duck..we are more vulnerable than ever in past history..<br />from the inside-out. <br /><br />How many of us can stand up to a Government that thinks nothing of rounding up a U.S. citizen in the middle of the night for the "offense" of insulting islam... oh, it's Great to insult Christianity... but not the "Great Prophet".. Oh No! <br /><br />Please don't get me wrong ... i think Prepping is a Great thing...but how does a person..a family...become invisible? We're all tracked online...the tax assessors map..Social Security#'s..bank accounts,etc.<br /><br />In my heart and mind all i can say is that we better know who and what we believe in; Trust. <br />i don't mean to preach, please, i'm not trying to be pushy...do you remember Daniel Pearl & now Benghaze? Coming down to the wire we will all have to make the choice. How many of us will choose to remain "infidels" with the sword at our necks/armed drones above our homes? <br />How many will be able to stand against the mass delusion soon to be implemented if not already underway? "Gotta git mai Obama Phone!!". <br /><br />i'd love to believe we can hide away from all this. i just don't see how it can work in Crunch time. Have you seen the numbers killed in Drone strikes overseas since Obama took office? Over 1,000 + 100 children... How do we defend ourselves from this? <br /><br />Still i believe you ARE on the Right track... We must be alert to all that is going on. Don't give up sounding the alarm.. people need to open thier eyes.. be ready.. Know Where they stand..and be ready to do just that...<br />...STAND.<br />Please forgive my ?rant? i hope i haven't offended anyone.. i guess this as a Challenge; i'm just wondering...All you Preppers? You Must have all this in the bag.<br />i'm reading/following and so are others.. i'd really like to know..<br />Who and What are we depending on?? in the long run? How will we evade the coming SHTF?? <br /><br />SciFi....i really love what you write..please don't give up.<br />You make us think..(if that's o.k.?) <br />Blessings to You and yours.<br />~k (iznaabugg) <br />(oh, yes i am :-( ) <br /><br /><br />karehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357166488976873775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-11418167693200194702012-10-25T13:55:32.354-06:002012-10-25T13:55:32.354-06:00I agree with others when they say that even if ONE...I agree with others when they say that even if ONE person learns something, preps a little bit more than they used to, or even buys ONE extra can at the store for their pantry or plants a lonely pot of tomatoes on their porch.....it's worth it.<br /><br />Paul used to give me crap about writing things that were too personal on the blog, but I think it helps people really understand that we're REALLY people and not just a blog, and that helps others relate.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-38355476054654377242012-10-25T13:38:32.112-06:002012-10-25T13:38:32.112-06:00Maybe I need to remind myself about baby steps.

Being prepared for any emergency SHOULD be obvious but so many just stick their heads in the sand & we won't ever change them. But, there are few that slowly open their eyes & wake up to the facts that it only makes sense to be ready for whatever may come their way. I have a close friend that actually asked me about learning how to shoot a gun & she was one that NEVER wanted one in her house. She's also going to a cheese making class with me this coming weekend. Baby steps, but steps none the less.DFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345712839702427280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-38013646135664148912012-10-25T12:38:27.900-06:002012-10-25T12:38:27.900-06:00Don't change a thing.

Are new again. such as, I know of more people, getting into canning food and such. I had a friend that went to a gun show, to buy a shot gun for bird hunting. He called me when he got home. He not only got his shot gun for hunting, but, also bought a AR15. He heard some people talking about when TSHTF. And is now prepping.<br /><br />So, keep doing what you do.
