And no it was not aimed directly at you... you merely provided the catalyst. So don't take offence... as has been pointed out this is the ANTI DOOM thread... there are plenty Ground Crew threads all in neat little boxes already.

But experience, recent world news and history have shown me you better be prepared for yourself and immediate family first... because counting on others in a disaster is if at best... it usually quickly turns to 'every man for himself' in a hurry, no matter how good the intentions.

And you will be of no use to help others, if you are not able to help yourself first
Sorry Z, maybe you missed my "Survivors' Eyes Only" thread. Many of us there have the kit ready to go.

And by the way, I don't do service-to-self; my preparations are for a total of 10 people, much less than my family unit. And if more than that seek my help, I'll kill myself working hard making sure they eat. History and current events don't mean chit to me - help all who need it I say. That is the true measure of a man, and the essence of being human.

You pray that the bailout works, and that the war ends, and that the grocery stores still have food on their shelves in the morning. And if I run into your hungry, ill-prepared self on my exodus, I look forward to sharing a meal with you, and will be able to sterilize your wounds.

I wish you peace.
