How Will You Deal with the Unprepared?

During my recent vacation, I made a pest of myself by asking strangers whether they were prepared.  This was done in a very polite manner after engaging in small talk and learning where they lived and asking  about the likelihood of a natural disaster in their home town.

Responses such as “Oh yes, of course.  We have five gallons of water, some canned goods, and a basement” were common.   And so it goes.  Just this weekend I learned of a local establishment that will serve as a Red Cross shelter if the big one (earthquake) comes along.   Not 30 minutes later I learned that the  same establishment was built on fill and would be swept away if there were a quake of any major magnitude.

Sorry, I am getting off track.  It is just that I get so frustrated when I hear such idiocy.

In todays blast from the near past, I share an article I wrote describing givers and the takers and decisions we may be forced to make if the stuff hits the fan.

The Givers and The Takers-What Will You Do When SHTF?

THE FINAL WORD

From time to time I feature bonus articles that are buried in the Backdoor Survival archives.  I hope you enjoy this one.

Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!
