Close your eyes and imagine a world without electricity and modern conveniences: no Fox News, no Facebook, no email, no Blackberry, no cold drinks, no heat in the winter, no automobiles, no food and no way to cook it even if you had it.
It’s just become the end of the world as we know it. Are you and your family going to survive?
Ours is a world of steaming hot lattes on demand, ice-cold beer in the twinkling of an eye, and internet and phone connections in a nanosecond. We are the ultimate immediate gratification society.
And what would happen if ….
The dollar bought nothing
A virus could not be cured
Terrorists exploded nuclear bombs across the country
Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and volcanic activity all became more prevalent
There would be no more lattes on demand (not even coffee grounds)
No more ice-cold beer (not even a warm one)
The internet, television, radio, phone system, all dead as a door nail
Suddenly, America (And The World) goes back to the year 1794, only worse.
Why do I say it would be worse? Simply because people no longer have the skill sets needed to survive in a world without electricity and modern conveniences. If there was a societal and economic breakdown, there would be no way to communicate, no way to ship, buy or to sell food, goods and services. It would simply be “Law of the Jungle” and “Survival of the Fittest”.
Only one type of person will be able to deal with this: Those with the skill sets needed to survive and are emotionally and spirituality prepared.
In today’s culture, these skill sets are rare, almost lost from modern knowledge. Skills like:
Gardening
Food preparation
Food preserving
Basic self defense skills
Finding potable water
Heating your home
I’ve been actively preparing for the end of the word as we know it for several years now. I’ve been buying supplies left and right, collecting all the essentials people think of in a task like that: canned goods, 50-pound bags of wheat, rice, medical supplies, garden tools, canning supplies, food smokers, dehydrating equipment, hand tools…and the list goes on and on and on.
Fall is a busy time for me. Just in the past month I’ve prepared dried vegetables, canned vegetables, frozen vegetables, (same with fruit), smoked salami, jerky and meat sticks, cut and stacked enough wood for the winter.
I used to feel like Noah, building an ark in the dessert, being jeered and laughed at by family and friends, but those times have come and gone. A growing number of people see the handwriting on the wall, and they scurry to make last-minute preparations. Because, deep down inside, in their heart of hearts, they know the stuff is about to hit the fan. And it won’t be pretty.
I would recommended that one read two books by James Wesley Rawles: A nonfiction book titled “How to Survive the End of the World as we Know it” and a novel titled “Patriots; Surviving the Coming Collapse”.
Both are excellent resources and will serve you well.
In retrospect, I have been preparing for societal collapse since my childhood and I didn’t even know it. I was raised in the country, in a poor family who worked very hard to scratch out a meager living. Back then I hated my father for making me cut, haul and stack wood, plow, plant, weed and harvest the garden, milk the cow, feed the chickens, and can the fruits and vegetables.
You see, my parents had grown up during the “First” Great Depression, so they always believed that hard times would come again and they lived their lives accordingly. I always thought they were crazy, but I was wrong and they were right. Hard times have come again and it’s going to get worse.
We need to develop a mental toughness, physical toughness, and a return to traditional values and hard work. Even a relationship with God couldn't hurt.
So I hope you’ll join me as we travel back in time to 1794 and begin to learn how to survive in a fierce new world that would have you dead. Relax, it’s not as bad as you think. In fact, once you get used to the idea, you might even enjoy yourself.
