When I first started preparing one of my friends asked me, Do you think you really need all that food? Do you think it is going to get that bad? I think I gave a quick yes reply and that was it. I don't talk about my preps to my friend anymore but if she saw how much I have stored up now, she would think I was crazy.
So why do I prepare for what's coming? First I do believe a collapse is coming and I have always been taught to be prepared. But not until about the summer of 2008 did I realize I really was not prepared for what is to come. I'm not sure where it came from but being prepared is now a passion for me. I actually enjoy preparing and being what is called a survivalist. It feels good to be a survivalist, to grow your own food, to know that your family will not starve when times become hard. Even if a total collapse never happens, you can still lose your job or have a major accident. Having food, water and other essentials stored could allow you enough time to get back onto your feet without having to go into debt just to buy food for your family.
If you are hesitating to start preparing I suggest you listen to Big John Lipscomb who can motivate almost anyone to start preparing. Check him out his blog at http://www.bigjohnlipscomb.blogspot.com/ and listen to his radio show on renseradio.com at 7-9 pm central time.
Thanks for reading.

Great post. Little catastrophes happen every day...power outages, hurricanes, water contamination, food recalls, job loss, and when they do, that food and stored water sure comes in handy. Food storage isn't just for the apocalypse, you know!
