Theres nothing paranoid about preparing for an economic collapse or a disaster none the less.Nick Borsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622592171661090412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031158403516294065.post-29607659675404051472012-12-03T14:30:19.392-08:002012-12-03T14:30:19.392-08:00Exactly, it's emergency safety 101.

If you don't, you just become another casualty making the problem worse.DEMCADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682505975096231290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031158403516294065.post-87971822509770995372012-12-03T02:39:49.515-08:002012-12-03T02:39:49.515-08:00Hey Reggie,

Anyones who business it is to respond to emergencies knows that responder safety is first. For the same reason you described. If you cannot take care of yourself you cannot help others. I can only speak for myself, but when I prepare I prepare for my entire family. As a matter of fact I have 4 households that I have taken responsibility for preparing for disaster. I live in south Louisiana and this is a very serious subject. A subject everyone here takes very seriously. If you are flying solo I would have doubts if you would last very long in a true WROL\SHTF event. It an event, such as Katrina my group could survive for 365 days without resupply. We have 3 of our 4 locations with wells, and yes they are in the city and the purity is tested semi-annually. <br />Compassion and unselfish planning is a must. While it is not often discussed I believe it is often taken in to account, at least in my experience.<br />Be safe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107252166982835530noreply@blogger.com
