greetings to all!

This blog is intended to help get you and your family ready for a crisis. Be it a earthquake, a flood, a forest fire, a national disaster or a major black out of our power grid. I'm not "Crying Wolf" Or acting like "Chicken Little" this is REAL. It's not "IF" it happens it's more like "WHEN" it happens! Will you be prepared? Do you have enough food for you and your family put away in your pantry to survive a week? A month ? A year????
And what about water? Did you know that without water a person can parish with in just a few days? Dehydration is very nasty and real! And that each person NEEDS 2 liters of water a day. I know I don't drink that everyday as it is, but think about everything you do drink on a daily basis!
I have started to get my household ready and have been doing alot of researching. reading and going out and finding real good deals on things to start collecting for this time.
I felt it necessary to share this with anyone else who would be interested. As we hear about the severe droughts across our country driving food costs up. The crazy storms and floods, earthquakes and tsunamis and Global warming, it just makes good sense to be "boy scouts" of our own lives!!! In other words ......BE PREPARED!
I know for my self and my household, we just want to be able to continue to survive with some amount of normality in case of a crisis.

*** Think about this for a moment if you haven't already ......

If we had a full on disaster like New Orleans did, do you think you could survive it? Think of it, No clean water, No electricity, No heat, cooking gas, gasoline for your car. No lights, TV, most likely no cell phones! Even land lines!Those who could climbed onto their roofs. So many were not prepared, so many lives taken...
Look how long it took for FEMA to offer any type of help. We cant depend on anyone but ourselves. That and GOD.

Think as this as a BIG camping trip! What would you take with you to camp out for a few weeks? What if you dont have ice? What would you take to be comfortable????? Things to ponder.

So please glean what you can from this blog, take what you want from it....Share your ideas with us too! Any great sites for preparedness???? Homesteading? Gardening? Raising animals for food? Whatever you feel that could help inform others please share!

And in ALL things PRAY for guidance in being the most practical and efficient lead person in your families survival!

Peace,
Sherry
