" Part of being a prepper is helping others who are in need" Ha Ha HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!
Pardon me while I wipe away the tears from laughing so hard. I think they got prepping and (be prepared) confused. We are prepping to save ourselves and our loved ones from TEOTWAWKI not trying to earn a frigging merit badge.
So when you are through walking little ole ladies across the street and given away all your food stuffs to poor souls in need don't come crying to me skippy. I'll more than likely shoot you for being so stupid.
"The kids won't eat strange foods, so stock what they like"
The kids will eat the family dog by day 12 if you haven't prepared well. they will also have to give up three showers a day so they can masturbate without fear of being caught.
Also teach the little one's to never scream their guts out every time they don't get their way.
Someday, when it really matters, not teaching them this will get your whole family killed.
Make them pick up what they drop. Most small children leave a trail a blind drunk could follow.
"bug out bag" "Get home bag"
I prefer the 72 hour,stay the hell where you are and hunker down for three days bag"
Most of the panic, mob violence, looting, will be the worst the first three days. A good time to hole up and catch up on your rest. You need water, food, and a blankie. Shelter, abandoned building,shed,overpass(last resort)
"The Propensity for accidents increase during a crisis"
WHY? Calm down and do not run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. THINK! EXERCISE CAUTION!
"Always carry a full stocked first aid kit"
Have the best first aid kit you can assemble at base camp. But carry tweezers and some band aids with you. If you think you are in good enough shape to carry everything these blogs recommend then you are either sadly mistaken or one bad mutha.I need a bandaid once or twice a year. Unless, you have a brain surgeon with you, your needs don't exceed a trauma kit EMT training is available at most community colleges I delivered a baby once(my daughter) with a shoe lace and a pocket knife. I KNEW HOW! Whether it's guns or catheters learn how to use everything you gather.
"keeping your mind busy is essential to survival"
Remaining calm is essential to survival. But lean up against a tree and sip some hot coffee once in a while and clear your head. Most important member of your group is the person who tells jokes.They will do more to keep you alive than anyone.You don't have to agree with me. After all, your reading it on a blog.

"Part of being a prepper is helping others who are in need"
Unlike you, Rat - some people might have a bit of a social conscience.
When the shit goes down, my interest in sharing and helping others will come down to whether or not doing so helps ensure my family's own survival. Until, then it is wise and prudent to encourage/help others to prepare. A prepared neighbor is a good neighbor.
Hey Rat!
Excellent post!
You could not have said some of those things better.
Thank You!

TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
Rat, you're my kind of guy. You remind me of the Sgt-Major's desert rats, one in each county.
I bet you shoot a real rifle, 1930s and 40s vintage; big hole down the barrel, 150-165 grain, 2,700 fps, or better.
Sit under a tree and relax.
Let the preppers sing their kumbee songs and read their good books and keep their sxxt in mylar.

"I prefer the 72 hour,stay the hell where you are and hunker down for three days bag"
You got that right! If I'm 3 miles from home, I'll grab a few things and walk it. If I'm 30 miles from home, I'll stay put. You can live in your car.
Where I'm at storms don't kill people, people get them selves killed trying to drive when they shouldn't, running chainsaws when they don't know how and so on.
I'm amazed at how many preppers think they need a machete. I'm outside all the time, hiking, biking, camping, working in the yard and I've never needed one. The one time I used one, it didn't work very well (the woods around here are too woody) and I was afraid I was going to lop off one of my appendages.
Amen.
Don't give away things you can't replace.
Know how to use the things you have.
However, i've always thought that if a band-aid can stop the bleeding, you probably didn't need one in the first place...

After mangling the English language to pieces, this guy makes a lot of sense!! Perhaps having a scanner would be even better to know what the hell is going on - you know what's on the radio will be complete and total lies!! Otherwise, a good read, but certainly no drivel from my Lord, Bison!!
24 hours worth of essentials ON MY BODY when I leave my property for ANY REASON (amazing how common "Man Bags" have become in my neck of the woods, including those that are designed for concealed carry). A weeks worth of gear in each of my vehicles. Lots of water in my neck of the woods, so I just need to get it clean. Got a well stocked and out of the way place to retreat to if need be, but I'm good for a solid 6 months in my house this very minute. Willing to trade and barter, beggars get turned away, looters get shot.
Hey Jim, probably the best guest article yet. True grit.
Is there anyway to press "delete moronic guest article", for this article?
Ahh grasshopper you have much to learn. Helping other people to prepare for emergencies is in your own best interest. If your neighbor has food and water they won't be begging you for your precious supplies. If a hungry child comes to my door looking for food I am not going to turn that child away. This may burden my own supplies but I am resourceful so I will deal with it. So help your friends and neighbors. It's in your own best interest.
