Simple prepardness, with links to good videos

Will the news-images of people panic buying in the UN-AFFECTED areas of Japan be enough to prompt people into the idea of preparedness and planning ahead? Or will Human apathy raise its ugly head once more in a few short days when the Japan disaster is yesterdays news, and we all regain our short memories again?

This is my call to all the ordinary citizens of all nations to start taking responsibility for themselves and their loved ones, to move away from the victim mentality and to learn about simple preparedness and the incredible, and potentially life-saving benefits that come from it.

If you are convinced Preparedness is a good Idea but don't know where to begin, here are some basic beginners videos that I made last year to help get you started:

My Story

I became interested in food storage and being prepared in 2010, when I saw how many people were with out jobs across the U.S. Plus knowing at my age it would be even harder to find a new job if I lost mine. Retirement is not that far away, plus I'm single and depending only on myself to get by, and no retirement package where I work. Scared... you bet. So I knew I had to do small things to become prepared myself. So I purchased an older RV (just in case I needed a new home because I could no longer afford rent) fixing it up to resell for a newer one some day. Then I started paying extra on all my utilities bills, leaving a credit on my account that grows a little every month, thought if I lost my job suddenly then at least I would have those bills already paid. I also started a veggie garden a couple of years ago and it gets bigger every year. Then one day while browsing "You Tube" for canning tips I ran across all the food storage videos and prep videos. LIGHTBULB moment. Now I had always stored some extra food, but most of the time those boxed items just went bad as I'm just one person and had a bad habit of eating out too much. I won't tell you how much money I have wasted on expired boxed food, plus all the veggies I tossed out because my eyes were bigger at the grocery store than what I was actually really going to use. As you know that is a short window of time on those fresh veggies. And in that lightbulb moment, how much easier it would be to have food in my cabinets that were for LONG term storage, plus all the freeze dried veggies and fruits meant no more wasting my money on rotting foods. Woo hoo and less time cooking, then I got excited about how I could make up mixes and shorten my cooking time even more. I have a bread maker but only used it once a month, no longer, now I only eat fresh bread. I'm feeling so much more prepared now. I now know that I will have food stored to last me through my retirement years helping stretch my social security check, that is if it is still available in 7 years.

Trive - Shelf Reliance

THRIVE has an extended shelf life, so you can store it in your own kitchen or pantry for a long time without worrying about spoilage. When you need an ingredient for one of your daily recipes, simply select the THRIVE product and add it to the mix— just like you would with fresh ingredients. Keeping THRIVE in your kitchen is just like having your own home market, completely stocked with all the food your family loves. The time you save by not rushing back and forth from the local grocery store will be valuable time you can spend doing the activities you enjoy.
