There are a lot of subjects to be covered concerning preps. It is almost impossible to be completely stocked to cover all situations. Alot of People just don't have the money to invest in things they would need if we were faced with a end of the world as we know it (EOTWAWKI), I don't believe that is gonna happen. Iran may try to nuke us in the future and we will cover Radiation protection later on. My concern is a SHTF situation (doo-doo hiting the fan). I strongly believe, due to events in our Country, we will face this. This (SHTF) covers alot, from major storms to economic collaspe, this is what we need to prepare for.
I am including a website that covers alot of info that will be helpful if you find yourself in a SHTF situation. I would suggest that, as you browse through it, you print out what would be helpful to you and keep it in a notebook or folder for later use. If for some reason you lose electric power - you won't have the internet - but you will have the info you need handy anyhow.

Emergency Food Package
Will you be prepared to survive in an emergency situation? Power outage, storm, major riots etc., for some reason you have to hunker down and can't get to a store? This is a basic breakdown of what you should have on hand, at least 2 weeks worth.
1. Wheat (corn meal or flour)
2. Long grain white rice
3. Pinto beans
4. lentils (this contains 26% protien)
5. Black beans
6. Oatmeal
7. Powered milk ( dehydrated)
8. Salt and Sugar
9. Canned meats
10. Water ( 4 ea. 10 gallon containers)
11. Batteries
As you go along you can add to the list depending on taste, these store well up to a year but as a precaution you can pull from your "stores" and re-add when you go shopping. Water storage is important, if using plastic, check the bottom for the recycle symbol and number. The number designates the type of plastic. #1 is most common for water bottles. Suitable for 1-2 time use. #2, 3, 4, 5 are safe.
You can find purification kits. Katadyn micropur, 30 tablets for $12.95. This is the least "yuckie" tasting and can be found at http://www.rei.com/product/695229, if you have kids and females add some kool-aide to help with the taste.

Food Preps
Good Morning, Just sitting here drinking a cup of coffee before I head out to work. How many of you, right this moment, have any preps put up? If a ice storm moved in or a bad storm knocked your power out, Do you have enough put by to last you and your family until its cleared up and you could get to a store? What would you do if the economy dropped completely? There would be no food (or very little) to get, you might have to stand in line for a loaf of bread. This could happen - are you ready? or will you have to go to one of the FEMA Camps our Goverment is preparing ?
Another question for ya, What about security? Do you have a plan set up to protect yourself and/or family? Are you in a City or Rural? Are you prepared to deal with the road blocks and patrols that will be implemented in the event of total economic collapse? What about from roving bands of thugs, out to steal what they can until order is restored? These are things we need to prepare for. What will you do if the Goverment decides to disarm the Citizens? It happened during Katrina in Louisanna. Law abiding citizens had their weapons taken, leaving them at the mercy of the thugs. ARE YOU PREPARED?

Welcome
I am new to this, blogging that is. I have been a Prepper for quite awhile, I will appreciate any suggestions you want to offer.
Our Country is going through a rough time with no end in sight. Our Goverment has abandoned the Constitution and it's citizens. We need to be prepared for the worst while we hope for the best.
The main reason I am doing this is because there are alot of People like myself that need a place in Georgia to share their thoughts and concerns. Alot are new to the idea of Prepping, we will be here to offer ideas in that area.
Remember, this is the internet. Others may be reading as well. Keep it clean, Nothing to do with making bombs or how to convert weapons to automatic etc. We will edit if we have to!
