Dedication

This book is dedicated to my new daughter, Hannah Jane, as well as my wife and son who are always in my thoughts.

I also dedicate this book to all my close friends and family members who have endured endless hours of my rambling about preparedness. My hope and prayer is that they, as well as the rest of America, will one day wake up and see the potential threats against our comfy way of life, and take the needed steps to safeguard their families futures.

I could only have brought this book to you by the grace of God and His unfailing love shown to an undeserving servant.

Preface

M ost people have no idea that the federal government (FEMA) instructs all Americans to prepare for hard times. Ready.gov recommends that every household in America have at least three days' worth of food, water, medical, and other supplies stored away in case of an emergency. Essentially they are saying, We, the US government, are totally unable to come and rescue your family in a timely fashion should there be a localized natural disaster. Please take care of yourselves for at least three days until we can come to your rescue! Comforting, isnt it? Have you done that already? Do have three days worth of supplies for a potential disaster in your area?

You should prepare for hard times NOT because it may take the government three days to mobilize, but because there are multiple, verified scenarios that would cripple the US government leaving you on your own for months...or possibly years. That is not fear-mongering; it is the truth. Why is it that those of us that choose to prepare for potential hard times are so maligned and stigmatized in the media? All we are doing is planning ahead and taking precautions to ensure our family is fed should a collapse scenario come to pass. Shouldnt planning ahead and safeguarding your future be considered virtues? Per social norms, arent we supposed to own home insurance, car insurance, fire insurance, flood insurance, medical insurance, and life insurance to protect us from potential calamity in the future? Arent most people encouraged to have a savings account or rainy day fund in case they lose their job or come under a financial hardship? Why is it that putting some extra food in your basement to feed your family during hard times be considered so irrational?
