Salutations new friends and fellow preppers,
Another Texan here looking out for friends and family in the slow emergency we seem to increasingly find ourselves in. The inevitable failure of the entitlement culture, corpratocracy and cheap oil economcs that power our AMAZING country cannot go on forever borrowing as we are the debtors of the world. Would you loan the US money?
Let me introduce myself. My goals are simple, prepare myself and my family for the disruptions to come. I am not political (no party can save us from the MATH) I own one paltry gun (a gift) I do not have a years worth of vacuum sealed/canned/mylar bagged/MRE's hidding out in my pantry and I don't think the problems we face are some huge conspiracy or the end-times. If you are then I RESPECT that and will never question your decisions; you go to your church and I will go to mine.
I AM a Christian and an open minded WASP who believes that community is stronger than the problems we are facing in the post cheap oil era of the 21st century. If this online community helps each of us overcome what we are facing then I am thrilled to have found this site.
Having said that, let me tell you what I am doing. I am saving (debt free except for mortgage) getting into the best shape of my life and learning new skills. (Yes I realize that inflation and devaluing dollar are a double punch to this goal but in a stagnant economy being broke is not a preparedness winner.)
I am an experienced rancher with family farming and small animal (chickens, pigs) experience. Ride well and am a good shot but only a mediocre hunter. I am conservative with both my money and my outlook. I am a strong believer in learning but consider the public school system the embarrassment of the nation.
In the days to come I hope to move the rest of my family together onto the family ranch. Build a business that can keep us out of the big urban cities and their G.O.O.D. jobs (Get out of debt) and avoid suburbia, consumerism and politicians/welfare establishment. That means giving up the corporate and technology jobs that have been the foundations of the first 20 years of my life, big changes ahead. Pulling my head out of the sand better pay off, lol.
Again, I have no interest in changing these things for others or promoting my views to others, I wouldn't know where to start. But I can change my way of life and my families future...that is my American dream.
Thank you for reading and again thank you for allowing me to participate.
