This is just another Y2K scare that never happened.

Don’t fall for it.

Save you money.

I would like to think you are right, but I don’t think the debt incurred by our irresponsible government can be sustained. There will be a tipping point. How bad it gets is anyones guess.

Even if there is no shtf moment a person could save a lot of money by prepping just because the prices of food are going up so fast.

I prep for tornadoes and other bad weather, mainly. After 2008, I've used stored rations to overcome a very local and personal economic disaster.

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, losing a job can be a personal disaster if you aren't prepared.

I save about 15% on average by buying in bulk when stuff is on sale. Up until about 40 years ago, many people went into the fall months with a large store of food put back.

I know that the tuna I have put back isn't going to get cheaper over the next year.

The federal government has stored water and food for President Hussein and his family to last a long time. The government knows a disaster could happen and they used your and my tax money to provide a safe place and supplies for Hussein.

I'm as important as Hussein - in fact I think I'm more important than he is - how about you? I didn't use your tax money like he did - I paid for my own. You want to see Hussein live and you die because you have no preps?

The end of the world as we know it might not happen, but where we live, we can have blizzards or ice storms and power outages that last for days.

That’s what we are prepping for. Fuel, canned goods, TP, dog food and coffee.
