New York Times runs soft news story about Survival Preparedness
The New Survivalism - New York Times
OK.
People (friends and family) used to joke with my husband and I about some of our assertions regarding the state of the world, and being prepared to handle anything.
In this article, The New York Times isn't exactly coming out and supporting people taking "survival steps," but, eerily, it does not mock or denigrate them, either.
I feel sort of vindicated, however...how could anyone feel vindicated about civilization collapsing?
When rich people (well, people richer than I am) are storing food and building cabins in the desert, it's time to start taking responsibility for your future and doing the same things you would do if a)you knew something big and bad was going to happen, and b)you knew FEMA wouldn't exactly be around to help (and if they were, you'd be terrified).
On such a pretty Sunday afternoon it's surreal to consider these things, but now would be the time to take stock of your food on hand and how much crap you have in your closets that isn't necessary for survival--and what you can go and buy NOW that would be immensely helpful in any situation for the survival of loved ones, pets, or for bartering to keep freaks from hurting/stealing from you.
