I know many people think this is silly/stupid/paranoid but lately more people seem to be discussing the matter. Do ya'll see trouble for our country and/or planet coming in the near future? When I say trouble that could be Nuclear War, Economic Meltdown, Natural Disaster, World War III...etc you get the idea. Not saying I believe these things are coming just trying to get some more viewpoints on the matter. Keep in mind:
.National budget deficit broke 1 Tril again this year .Iran appears to be developing Nukes .The global economy is turbulent at best .Obama
Ps. I am NOT stockpiling guns/gas masks/survival gear FYI!

You might consider doing just that, my friend. Better to be prepared and not need it than to need it and not have it. Water purification should be your # 1 priority, btw.

I learned how to purify water with some coals from a campfire and a sock... Very handy stuff there...

That's fine and dandy unless you're cold camping for security reasons.
Dang it, that is a good point....

It is coming to the US sooner or later, for the same reasons that has already happened over seas, so there is no reason for any of us to be surprised when it does.

I see Isreal/iran causing the middle east to go ballistic (maybe literally). I can make it for 2-3 yrs at some property I have access to. watching euel gibbons is gonna pay off one of these days.

I suspect sometimes that we are but one crisis away from a meltdown. Now, whether that is some kind of blow-up in the Mid-East, or some European country going belly-up financially, or if our Stock Market craters, another terrorist attack here, your guess is as good as mine what it will take. But, things could get ugly overnight, really ugly in about a week or so (depending on if the electric grid failed), and massively ugly after a month.

Interesting stuff (and worrisome) to read up on.
Imagine the metro-mess in the event of a power grid failure. Abilene will not be far enough away!
My guess is it will start with empty grocery store shelves.
I don't know. Judging by the many fools out there running around I would bet the first places under seige would be electronics stores, liquor stores and places that sell high dollar, name brand tennis shoes, lol. Remeber New Orleans and Katrina? Sure, some folks will go for groceries but plenty of others not smart enough to distinguish need vs want. LOL

I remember that and that's why I will head for the hills. Once the grocery stores are empty, there is nothing good that's going to happen in any city.

Saw my first set of female fun bags on account of Euell. Was prob 13 and visiting step mother's cousins while fishing in Montana. Sister gave me a cattail to eat after seeing this damn Euell commercial. Got back to cousins house and had to throw up right NOW. Barged into bathroom and Auntie was on full display in the tub (she was kind of hot as I remember). Thanks Euell.
believe in Him, and none of the other junk matters. Merely my opinion.
What about God having Noah build a ark? What about the warnings given to Joseph/Pharoah before drought struck Egypt for 7 years? Proverbs 27:12? I know we have to have faith but I also am beggining to believe that we should still make a effort to do our part. If I see trouble coming I would be a bad steward of my resources if I made no attempt to preparare for the coming trouble.

If God calls you to do something extraordinary, then by all means. If not, I see no reason to panic. (not saying you are, I just chose to use the word panic) Im not saying its a bad thing to prepare for ANYTHING. merely a difference of opinion, with regard to priority.

I remember them very well Hop.At Lake Worth,we had the first underground school anywhere.It housed the 6th threw 8th grade.Everyone in the whole school would have to go down there during the test.Of course back then,there wasn't a fourth of the kids thats there now.
who here remembers when we were in school and had the "nuclear" tornado drills?
bomb shelters in backyards? civil defense drills and shelters in gooberment bldgs?
duck n cover y'all
I remember those all too well and always wondered (even in 4th grade), how is lining up in the hall in a tuck position, head against the wall going to help? I mean, the dang roof is going to cave in out in the hallway just as easy as it would in the classroom. Figured out later it just makes it easier to locate everyone in the aftermath. lol

I agree. If I feel God's call to act, than act I shall...

Well said sir. Don't really feel called to do anything extrodinary just been feeling the need to be a bit more prepared materialy
I think God wants us to be prepared and aware, but not be worried. He has made mention of this a few times in His Word.
