About Food Threats and Food Storage

On the onset of the great recession about three years ago I put together a rather negative report for my family, employees and closest associates about potential threats to our food supply. It is easy to come up with negative things about our present day society, and the list was long.

Until the last few years I have been a rather optimistic person, believing in the good in all people and everyone I meet, no matter their station in life. Heck, I traveled 6 years with the hard working Up With People singing and educational group in my younger years. After pondering the overwhelming negative things I felt could threaten my family and friends, I though maybe I should put together some positive steps we could take to minimize the negative stuff.

It has been three years and I can honestly say I haven’t seen much progress. I have tried to do what I can, but it seems that no matter what I do, it does not seem to be enough. I, like anyone else trying to get better prepared, have learned a few things the hard way. I have made many mistakes over the years, but I have found some things that work.

If my closest friends and family won’t heed the preparedness message, then possibly there is someone who reads this blog that will get something out of it. It just seems that now, when there is hope that we are coming out of this darn recession, people are getting apathetic when it comes to preparing our families for hard times.

There is a warning in my chest that says “it is not over” and the need to do what we can to keep our families safe (mostly by feeding them) is needed now more than ever.

Over the next few weeks I hope to discuss a little of the negative stuff, and a lot of the “Git-r-done” positive stuff. So tune in and let’s see where this takes us.

All the best my friend.
