I like being a sort of Johnny Appleseed of preparedness, I’m willing to trade the minor risk to my own preparedness (since I don’t have a family to worry about), to spread the word and help other people get interested in it, in a sense, my extended family of other Americans.
I think the chance of a road warrior America happening is very slim, at least during my time, and rather than hunker down and totally focus on that unlikely scenario (it is my favorite scenario though, and the one I prep for), I compromise, by planning for it, and also being open and sharing with information and knowledge while doing it, I love to win over converts to preparedness.
The security of us all is helped by increasing our numbers and public acceptance of preparedness, and overall better preparedness of the people in general, that means that some of us have to be the public advocates and sales people.
As an old survivalist, I love this new, soccer mom, “prepper” thing, this new mainstream image, and the mainstreaming of the common sense of being prepared for emergencies and the unpredictability of nature and of human life.
That’s awesome. Wish I lived near you. I’ve had to learn step by step, reading on the internet - and finally, found some ladies that can to help me with my ‘floating apple’ problem!
