The Survivalist Mom Wants to Save Your Butt
The Stir ^ | 11/8/10 | April Peveteaux

Posted on 11/08/2010 9:53:19 PM PST by Kartographer

After a Google search gone awry, I found myself at The Survival Mom, a website by Lisa Bedford, a "prepper" in Arizona. I'll admit to hoping my web activity wasn't going to suddenly be monitored by the ATF after scrolling around a site that tells you how to prepare (or "prep") for the end of days.

Fascinated, I still expected to find my polar opposite in motherhood, as well as personhood, when I got a look at her logo of a suburban mom with a rifle over her shoulder. So imagine my surprise when I found myself taking notes as I scrolled through posts like "Earthquake Survival for Your Head, Feet & Eyes" and started fantasizing about having my own sun oven.

So I gave Lisa Bedford a call to talk about this prepper business I had previously never heard of, and tried to find out if I could unearth some crazy. Turns out, not so much.

I did. I scrolled through it. It looks really good.

Thank you. I think time is growing short for preparing.

Yup. She has alot of good info on the site.

For those interested in downloading and archiving entire websites, I recommend HTTRACK.
Alot of downloading options, and you can specify how detailed and in depth you want it to go.

I think time is growing short for preparing.

There's still a window of time for prepping but not so if going into survival mode. We are living in worrisome times and I'm most concerned with the next 2 to 6 months for something to hit the fan. We have evil leaders how have been slapped hard and will be retaliating. Nancy will not go gracefully and Hussein is getting more out of control every day. Don't kid yourselves this little get-outta-the-country trip wasn't a very carefully planned distraction with something else on the true agenda.

Pelosi’s husband is a lobbyist and they make money by their tag team access sales.
