Preparedness, self reliance, survivalism, prepping, no matter what you call it is actually about being better prepared. Severe weather, loss of a job, an injury and much more can all impact our lives. Having more to eat on hand isn’t a bad idea, save with reducing your overall debt. Those are a few of the steps that being more self reliant involves.
More and more people in America are waking up to the fact that having more food, water and such on hand is a good idea. There is a growing sense that being more self reliant and better prepared is the right lifestyle to adopt. It is important to point out that it is a lifestyle, not a fad, a weekend project that you can quickly finish up and be done with. It is about making substantive changes in your thinking and actions.
This way of thinking isn’t universal in its acceptance. But here is the question that you need to ask yourself and answer objectively: Its now twenty minutes after the end of a serious incident such as a tornado, earthquake or blizzard. What are you going to do right now to make sure that you and yours are safe and provided for?
It is YOUR responsibility to take of you, not the government, not FEMA, not the church or any one else, YOU.
