The country is a mess. The state you live in is a mess. The county you live in is a mess. The city you live in is a mess. But what have you performed to prepare for disaster from any force whether manmade or natural?

Have you electrical power? Solar/NaturalGas/Propane/Gasoline Generator(s) to generate electricity for your various needs? Water? Food? Shelter? How about a library whether hardcover/paperback/electronic? What about personal defense?

The goal of this thread is to describe your ideas to become self-sufficient within reasonable personal means, independent of the messes that most know pre-exisit in an arbitrary world.

Make a comment about what you have performed and/or plan to do.

Actually Texas is not a mess to respond to disasters. We do it quite often. West TX and Hurricane Rita come to mind as well as Katrina in the Gulf areas. Texas responded well. The locals pull together. When West TX had the fertilizer plant explosion local emergency response was well managed. Hundreds of local churches opened their doors for the homeless, fed hundreds, provided clothing and even work. In the secular Northeast people went dumpster diving for food after Sandy while they waited for the Usurper in chief to bring them FEMA.

Yeah, we have a full fridge and freezer. I think we are ok for natural disasters, which normally have a short duration. If Bucky wants to know about preparations for solar flares or invasion by the elves and the gremlins or an end of the world, about the best he could do for long term survival is buy a couple of boxes of Hershey's Chocolate. What part of "end of the world," that they constantly talk about do they have a problem understanding? If the world ends as many of them predict, do they expect to live on a tiny slice of Mother Earth whizzing through the Galaxy while they are guzzling home brew? It all reminds me of the building of fall-out shelters craze of the Cold War Era.

What happens when your electrical power is disrupted? Do you (as the thread title indicates) have backup electrical power?

Donnie .. please do a favor for those viewing the thread: stay on track. Nowhere have I indicated "end of the world" scenarios. In fact, you have consistently poised yourself as a Christian evangelist that believes in some sort of, "end of the world" as Jesus is coming for you and taking you to heaven because of your strident belief system. Why on Earth are you projecting your own ideas on me or anyone that intelligently considers planning for uneventful disasters?

I suppose all you require is a cross, a Bible and a prayer in order to prepare.

Doomsday Preppers are always talking about that scenario and go off into left field looking as though they anticipate living in a Road Warrior movie; of course, we all know you have your feet planted firmly on the ground and you never watch the Preppers shows on the National Geographic channel. That is right, of course, right?

Stay on target, Luke! Stay on target!

Donnie ... I havn't watched TV since 1993. So, again, you are wrong. Here, let me help you out: read your Bible and pray to some illusive God while rolling your rosary between your thumb and forefinger. Wh knows ... you might, just might, get closer to the truth.

Come on, Bucky. You don' need to be ashamed. I won't tell anyone.

Rosary? Why shucks, Partner, I don't have one of those things.

What do you learn based on your many fruitless hours devouring selected topics on TV? How to pray? How to smell nice? How the weather is forecasted when all you have to do is stich your head out the door and treat yourself to the actual environment?

Planning is everything. And watching TV is not planning; the act is a vegetising experience for the almost brain-dead; watching National Geographic and catching a glimpse of the latest infomercial is hardly worthy of one's time; this is true of my time.

OK ... so you don't run your rosary between your fingers; what other Christian amulet do you use?
