My parents always taught me to question everything. To formulate my own opinions and to never blindly believe. Some may see this in a negative but in fact, it was a very positive experience. They taught me to how to survive in the world. Not the world as we would like to see it but the world as it is.
Hope is one thing, trust is another.
When it comes to survival we need to take this stance. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. That way, should the day ever come when our skills are put to the test we will have an advantage over those who sat back and did nothing but trusted that others would take care of them should the need arise.
Throughout history, we can read account after account of people who went to great lengths to prepare and accounts of those who did not. In fact, recently there was an account of a man who put a large air tube around his house in the event of massive rains that were said to be headed his way and even as others scoffed at his paranoia his property was saved and his family was saved as his neighbor’s houses flooded and their possessions lost.
But how do we separate the good advice from the bad? The legit tips and tricks from the ones that are just plain silly? How do we know what will really happen?
To give you a better idea of what to expect, go over to the next page and read up on a more down to Earth view of what will happen once the grid goes down.

s**t.
So done with the ads and “next page” format.
People in the country at least know how to grow their own food and take care of animals like cows, pigs , chickens, goats etc. Most can sew and make clothes as well as quilts… And…they can actually cook!!!
To correct this, add “most” to the very beginning. I know just as many absolutely useless country dwellers as I do from other locations.
Ok…I will edit…I know better! Lol
My parents lived through the Depression, my father lived in the city, he had a clothing, furniture and a refrigerator with no food, my mother lived in a rural area on a farm, they had very little, no refrigerator, but they had plenty to eat and stored the food in a root cellar. I vote for the rural option, better to have food than stuff.
