Survivalists or Preppers or Just Taking Responsibility?
I came across a great article on Newsweek that had to do with the modern day “Survivalist“, and how there is a movement of people preparing to take responsibility for themselves. No different than what we should be doing as a part of our own personal disaster recovery plan, but on a larger scale. Not meaning they are building bunkers, but many are preparing to be self sufficient for long periods of time.
Newsweek says, “A decade later, “preppers” are what you might call survivalism’s Third Wave: regular people with jobs and homes whose are increasingly fearful about the future—their paranoia compounded by 24-hour cable news.”
Read the entire article here and be sure to watch the video as well. I’d love to hear your comments. Do you have emergency supplies and food at your house and in your car?
Until next time, J.

It’s past time to stop using foreign oil! Maybe we will always need some oil, but we just have to stop depending on Middle East oil. There are 3 fairly easy things that all of us can do now to make a difference. 1- Stop pumping gas into your car! If you have a gas guzzler now, convert it into an electric car (see this blueprint for example). No more gas! 2- Stop using electricity off the electric grid! Either build solar panels (like this one), or build a cheap magnetic generator (like this one). Not very hard! 3- Learn to bike or walk! If you are only going a mile to the shop, walk or bike there. My 2 cents.
