It seems like the old Boy Scout motto is being followed by more and more fellow Americans. There is an apparent surge in survival equipment and supplies like never before. Is this rise towards survival merited? Just look around you. The answers are there in plain sight.
The Economy Sucks
Can you remember a time in your life like the chaotic economic times that we are experiencing now? Have you ever seen the country as divided this badly? Do you know several people who are out of work and cannot find jobs? Are you unemployed? For how long? Do you fear the REAL motives of the Marxists marching on OUR streets? Do you believe that America is in serious decline? Are you convinced that politicians don't give a care and don't listen? Do you feel that Obama is leading the USA in the WRONG direction? Do you feel optimistic about America's future? Do you believe that the economy is NOT improving?
Survival Stores Booming
Survival stores across the US (and Internet) are reporting larger than usual sales in survival supplies. Ammo and gun sales are also increasing. People are stocking up on MREs (Meals Ready To Eat used by the military), freeze dried foods, and dehydrated foods.
Typical Survivor Supplies
They are literally "flying off the shelves." Packaged foods of all kinds of read-to-eat foods are in BIG demand. Back packs called "bug-out-bags" are hard to keep in stock. These bags contain supplies required for about three days to subsist without ANY outside intervention. You have the bag packed, ready to go in case of an emergency. "When the SXIT Hits The Fan" (WTSHTF), you grab the bag, jump in your car, and drive to your hideaway far away from city populations. Do you have a hideaway?
Plan Ahead
People are also stocking up on food, water, can goods and storing them at home. Some people have remote locations, and some plan on staying right where they are. Either way, the key word is "PLAN". Do you have a plan in case of any emergency? You do know that there won't be ANY help coming from the government - right? No police, no fire department, no nothing - just YOU!! (No cell phones either). You will have to rely on your own resources in an emergency. Hurricane Katrina makes this message clear. The government will NOT assist you in a major emergency. It will be up to you! You will be on your own!!
If you think that grocery stores will be there, forget it. Look what happens when the weather man predicts a storm. It will be a LOT worse IN A real EMERGENCY! Count on that for sure!!
People are NOT scared, they're concerned, and they're being smart. Are you one of them? When you see the world-wide unrest starting to affect the USA (OWS), you should have a plan for your survival. Could you survive an emergency? Could you offer help to others, if they needed it? Do you have a bug-out-bag packed and ready for each member of the family? Do you even have an emergency plan? Why NOT?
It's better to be safe, than sorry!
