We’re not “fantasizing about the collapse of society” – we’re just getting ready for it

This guy is a lunatic. You’re not. Let me explain why.
A friend of mine in law enforcement was attending one of those mandatory “anti-terrorism” training put on by the Department of Homeland Security. You know the kind: the only terrorists are people with Ron Paul stickers on their car, there is no such thing as Islamic terrorists, etc. etc.
During the training, some prepper books came up as an example of the “mindset” of those anti-government “terrorists.” My friend raised his hand and said that if you read the books you’d know that’s not true. But that’s not what this post is about.
The Homeland Security guy said books like this appeal to those who “fantasize about the collapse of society.”
Wrong. Flat-ass wrong.
Low-Cost Root Cellar/Bunker
This guy did something very sharp and inventive: His cellar had all the benefits of our great-grandparents’ root cellars, the American Army war bunkers, and the secret Viet Cong building method with none of their drawbacks. Watch the video and learn more!

First of all, if that Homeland Security hack had actually talked to one of us, he would have known that none of us want violence, starvation, disease, and everything else that comes from a collapse. But that’s not what this blog post is about.
This government and media talking point about preppers “fantasizing about the collapse of society” is really their theory that preppers want society to fall apart because we’re losers in society. You know, we’re the lunatics hiding in bunkers who believe UFOs are part of a UN plot. We’re not “well-adjusted” to society like “normal” people. We’re “misfits” who can’t get along with normal people, so we want a reset of society and then we won’t have to deal with those normal people.
Wrong. Flat-a*s wrong. Again.
Take me for example. I am the most social person you’ll ever meet. I have a successful marriage of over 25 years and two grown kids who love me. That’s kinda hard to pull off if you can’t interact with people. I make total strangers laugh out loud. I get along with everyone, whether they’re poor (like I am) or rich or in the middle. I have good friends who are black, Latino, Asian, Arab, disabled and even – gasp! – gay. The people I hung out with so far today are: a former football player, teacher, waitress, small business owner, doctor, and soldier.
So tell me again how I can’t get along with people.

I bet a lot of you are the same way. Your lives are perfect examples of how you can get along just fine in modern society.
It’s just that we can see society is headed for a big change. We plan accordingly. We are working well within society now, but are ready for it to change.
Since when is that a bad thing?
I recently had a chance to realize the sacrifices I’m making for being a prepper.  My marriage would be a lot more harmonious if I weren’t prepping.  I would have a lot more free time and money.  I wouldn’t have to think about diseases and gangs.  I could be a normal American.
And I’d soon be dead.  So would my family.
I know with absolute certainty that a collapse is coming.  I also know that doing relatively small things now will allow me and my family.  Not only live, but live semi-comfortably through the worst period of American history ever.  When up to 90% of the population is dead or dying, I’ll be having pancakes with my family and my brothers.  Fist bumps and maple syrup as we head out for a day of work protecting people.  “This never gets old,” I’ll say.  “Beats the shit out of selling insurance,” Pow will say.
So the marital strife I’m suffering now will quickly be seen as a small price to pay.  Who knows: my family might even utter a “thank you” when they realize all I did for them and the kids.  The time I spent now reading/writing blogs, fish antibiotics, water treatment, water collection, home defense, escape plans, and generators will seem like nothing at all – it will seem like the best possible use of time ever.  Ever.  And money?  This weekend I was sealing small bags of rice and beans that had a price tag of “$1.00.”  I smiled.  I knew that when I pull those out of storage, that same bag will cost $100 – if anyone is still taking American dollars.  I will smile again.  Even harder, and I’ll feel the warmth of knowing that I did the right thing, despite all the sacrifices.

Stay safe!

The Most Comprehensive Book Available

Our grandfathers had more knowledge than any of us today and thrived even when modern conveniences were not available. They were able to produce and store their food for long periods of time. All the knowledge our grandfathers had, in one place.Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in the book:
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!
 
Discover how to survive: Most complete survival tactics, tips, skills and ideas like how to make pemmican, snowshoes, knives, soap, beer, smokehouses, bullets, survival bread, water wheels, herbal poultices, Indian roundhouses, root cellars, primitive navigation, and much more at The Lost Ways

 
Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost Ways:
From Ruff Simons, an old west history expert, and former deputy, you’ll learn the techniques and methods used by the wise sheriffs from the frontiers to defend an entire village despite being outnumbered and outgunned by gangs of robbers and bandits, and how you can use their wisdom to defend your home against looters when you’ll be surrounded.
Native American ERIK BAINBRIDGE – who took part in the reconstruction of the native village of Kule Loklo in California, will show you how Native Americans build the subterranean roundhouse, an underground house that today will serve you as a storm shelter, a perfectly camouflaged hideout, or a bunker. It can easily shelter three to four families, so how will you feel if, when all hell breaks loose, you’ll be able to call all your loved ones and offer them guidance and shelter? Besides that, the subterranean roundhouse makes an awesome root cellar where you can keep all your food and water reserves year-round.
From Shannon Azares you’ll learn how sailors from the XVII century preserved water in their ships for months on end, even years and how you can use this method to preserve clean water for your family cost-free.
Mike Searson – who is a Firearm and Old West history expert – will show you what to do when there is no more ammo to be had, how people who wandered the West managed to hunt eight deer with six bullets, and why their supply of ammo never ran out. Remember the panic buying in the first half of 2013? That was nothing compared to what’s going to precede the collapse.
From Susan Morrow, an ex-science teacher and chemist, you’ll master “The Art of Poultice.” She says, “If you really explore the ingredients from which our forefathers made poultices, you’ll be totally surprised by the similarities with modern medicines.” Well…how would you feel in a crisis to be the only one from the group knowing about this lost skill? When there are no more antibiotics, people will turn to you to save their ill children’s lives.
If you liked our video tutorial on how to make Pemmican, then you’ll love this: I will show you how to make another superfood that our troops were using in the Independence war, and even George Washington ate on several occasions. This food never goes bad. And I’m not talking about honey or vinegar. I’m talking about real food! The awesome part is that you can make this food in just 10 minutes and I’m pretty sure that you already have the ingredients in your house right now.
Really, this is all just a peek.
The Lost Ways is a far-reaching book with chapters ranging from simple things like making tasty bark-bread-like people did when there was no food to building a traditional backyard smokehouse… and much, much, much more!
