My question is what do you prep for? Thats a question that gets asked a lot. The truth is none of us know. There is no certainty. The crisis may be a complete societal collapse, a solar flare, EMP, pandemic, or just the loss of a job. But a broken water main can leave you without water for a week, or a glitch in a computer system can leave you without a paycheck. A storm can knock out power for day. Someone my steal your Identity and empty all your bank accounts leaving you penniless for months until the bank decides to benevolently give you proper credit for the misdeeds. A crisis doesn't have to be the end of the world to have a devastating impact on you.
But a crisis will not be a typhoon that hits the Philippines, or some terrorist attack in a far off land. These are no more real to us then an episode of Law and Order, or NCIS. Our hyper-connected media insures we see all these events in glorious high definition but they do not "touch" us.
The one thing i do know is whatever crisis comes and when it comes, it will be personal. It will be on your front porch. It will be in your face... and THAT is the crisis you prep for.
