Water=Life

Hey Illinois! I read something this morning that angered me but it does prove a point.

Apparently, some deranged people decided to punish one of their 10 yr old twins by denying him water for 5 days. The child died of dehydration. I hope the judge imposes that same punishment on them. But, this story is proof of why water is so very vital to our survival. We need it, have to have it and after just 3 days, we are in serious trouble and headed for the ever after. It is of the utmost importance that as a prepper, you have a clean water source available at all times. That could consist of bottled water stocked up or a well with a proper filter system at the ready. The first thing to be gone off the store shelves for the huge non disaster called hurricane Irene was bottled water. People all over the east coast who do not have the ability to think ahead in even the smallest ways all flocked to their local grocery stores and walmarts to wipe out the bottled water. So, forget about scrounging bottled water anywhere after any type of disaster, it will be all gone because the sheeple are incapable of thinking ahead. As a prepper, it is part of your agenda to have the necessities stocked up already.

Maybe it's time to double the water you have in storage, just in case.......

First Day of Spring for Illinois

Actually, it's the first day of spring for everyone. The contrast from the north part of the state down to the south is striking, to say the least.

The southern part of the state, outside the major cities (college town, etc) show an extreme not obvious in the northern parts of Illinois. The stress down here is really beginning to show. One Dead, One Arrested, this incident happened just a couple miles south of the farm, my family knows all the people involved... More and more people for whatever reason, are turning to drugs and the task force is operating in full swing trying to keep up. Cops grab meth stash.

On top of the immediate troubles for the state, budget crisis, over loaded prisons, higher taxes, soaring fuel and food prices, low wages if you can even find work etc, we have now committed to butting our noses in where we just don't belong. "long war".

Now is the time to be worried about your own family and your own well being. Look what's going on in Japan for example. A very strong culture, rich with tradition, very little left after 3 major disasters. One still affecting them, raining radiation down on them by the second. People without food, water, shelter, no emergency preps available for those that so desperately need them. The time is now to be considering what you can do to protect yourself and your family.

Keep prepping...
