It was your comment about rebuilding now that got my attention.

Having just finished the book, “One Second After”, about an EMP strike, now I’m concerned about more than just the dollar, which I will agree is done for.

I seem to be genetically predisposed to believe that I should grab all of the toothpaste on the rack in case it is not there the next time I come by.

However, no one listens to me now. As a serious prepper for Y2k, my credibility is pretty much shot as far as giving anyone advice on the future.

I visited my daughter in Atlanta over Thanksgiving and looked in her pantry. She has two small children and going to the grocery store is entertainment. I counted 7 cans total and no dried staples.

Her eyes glazed over when I said something about her putting in some non-perishable items and water. Being surrounded by 3 million people who might compete with her for food, water, etc. does not bother her.

I will have plenty, but I doubt that her family could get to me if anything major happens.

I get a lot of things right, but I always underestimate how hard people will work to keep things the way they are, to maintain the “status quo”. If that means ignoring potential trouble, they will do it. I don’t know how to wake them up.

I do not know how to help them to see the truth.

"I counted 7 cans total and no dried staples."

I live in a small town and I know people like that here. I am always telling them to stock up, but they won't. I am hoping we will get a few weeks notice that things are going to get bad so they can stock up at least a little bit.

I've decided to prep as much as I can for my adult children...like you, it may be hard for them to get here....but we do have an old pig of a 1973 truck that would probably still work if we had the fuel...we'd to get them if we had too....

the times we live in....
