I'm not generally one to have apocalyptic feelings, but I do think it's important for people to own ground, to know how to grow food, to not be dependent on an entire urban infrastructure for survival. It's foolish to think that societal collapse can happen elsewhere but not here. We are concerned about the growing tensions of nationalism evident around the world, including the U.S. That often leads to immense political and military conflict, which disrupts everyone's life. We should enjoy each day, but also consider the future. My only wish in this matter is that we owned our property outright. We don't ... yet.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-36524498111868259872017-09-26T05:50:46.171-04:002017-09-26T05:50:46.171-04:00Nancy, no nation lasts forever.

I've tried to explain that we don't plan to rely on food storage as much as year-round food growing, but he isn't listening. Does he take any action himself? No, he just mows his lawn and waters his flowers. If he does it again I have a mind to tell him that when the time comes I'll be charging $25 for a dozen eggs and $15 for a pint of pickles.

Like you two I have spent years getting grounds, gardens, fruit and nut trees prepared. Now proceeding with chickens and rabbits to augment a balanced vegetarian diet. In a close group of 5 households, 3 know something harsh is inevitable but only 2 of us have planned and prepared hard for several years. I would have no problem providing ongoing food and housing in a full Venezuelan situation for years for 5 or 6 people but 25 or 30. Those of us who are working hard to be ready if need be are now also formulating the ground rules for those who would show up but have taken virtually no steps. It is a hard thing but I know the Holy Spirit will guide.Prickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388548881253679426noreply@blogger.com
