Survive What.............
Once more we bring forth the concept that survival is not always of the fittest. In this time and age of mankind, it is most likely survival of the prepared. I’ve seen these macho survival sites telling folks about all the specialty gear they need, the amount of ammo required, best calibers for survival, and such.
When you explore these sites, you will discover they are only thinking in a short term manner. All of their supplies are set to the short term. I suspect they figure on relieving others of supplies if things go beyond their predictions. But if everyone is estimating in like form, who then will have the supplies necessary to extend beyond humanities expiration date?
Remember one vital aspect to this mental wanderlust, is that most survival sites are selling something, where as I sell only the idea that I might be certifiable. The real question becomes who is really in need of mental health care. The writer or the reader?
I invite each reader to take stock of their needs to provide for themselves and their loved ones over the long term. Would the storage of a years supply of food stuffs be enough to survive until the governments get their collective heads out of their collective arses?
Next, we should remember that the more people with knowledge of a secret, the more likely everyone will know. Good and bad alike. Absorb that concept folks, cause it seems like most, if not all those survival types posting on bulletin boards seem to have forgotten it.
Okay. It is at this point I should say something profound and thoughtful, but sorry, nothing comes to mind.
We’ll do this again another day. More concise, precise and slice & dice.
Chew on this until our next meeting:
The A&P will be closed.
Ace Hardware will be closed.
Wal-Mart will be closed.
The closer to major cities the more likely you will be overran by the survivors escaping those death traps.
Communications today requires electricity, which will fail through incident, accident or sabotage.
Vegetables require earth to grow in.
Shall I continue? I think not. You have a basic idea here. A pen and paper can assist in making this longer.
