She may have shown herself to the world but she is willing to risk caring for others and their well being then just her own. That is why she would go ahead and show this information. To be honest, it isn't that hard to know where most people are located. But the more people who hear the message, get prepared, and help with the process the less likely we will see another Katrina situation. Great job Lisa and there will always be critics.

There may be far fewer hungry, desperate people because I chose to speak up. Unless a family is LDS or has lived a homesteading life, food storage is a completely foreign world. I speak from experience. Most moms don\’t even realize that they CAN stock up on several months worth of food. OpSec is all fine and good, but the more people in my neighborhood who hear my story, start paying attention to the news, and then taking action will not only make my own family safer but will alleviate the demand on whatever resources may be left.

I think she is putting herself and family at tremendous risk showing all this information to the public. Who do you think hungry people will attack to steal from when that time comes? She has shown her entire stock. I think this is really dumb on her part.

Excellent piece. I now feel in good company with another fellow-prepper woman. I am going one step further, and looking into building my own small solar powered generator (we currently have a propane generator and an underground 500 gal. propane tank). To help run small electric devices/tools, and to help generate free power to use as best as I can. It's also a good idea to suggest non-powered tools to help with survival, just in case the power is cut for any length of time. Good building tools, kitchen utensils & tools are a must. I have just purchased a food dehydrator, and I am going to be dehydrating just about anything you can imagine. I have a huge garden in the summer, and while I have 2 full freezers full of food, if the power is cut, I may have 2 full freezers full of defrosted and useless food. Keep up the great Blog!

And how are you safely storing all the fuel for the generator to run the grain grinder, stove, etc? Seems you'd want manual versions of whatever is available.

I've given that a lot of thought, CZ. I've wanted to give a voice and a (normal) face to preparedness. I talk with people, both men and women, who think having a few cases of ramen and a pool filled with water, literally, is preparedness. Others are so stocked up on guns and ammo that their plan is just to steal whatever they need. Most people don't have a preparedness mindset, and when they do give it some thought, they don't know where to begin. Others are so scared by the future, that they need reassurance and encouragement to take baby steps. I'm taking a small risk by going public, I know, but I hope this blog and the few interviews I've given help MORE people to prepare, and at the same time, take away the stigma of "survivalists" and "Y2Kers". The more preppers there are, the safer all of us are, and isn't it quite selfish to keep quiet about all of this if we truly believe that our country is headed for a collapse?

I understand your intentions, but you have broken the number one rule of prepping…OPSEC. You may have made
yourself a target of non-preppers when something does (?) happen. Hope I'm wrong…

Great website! I also am a prepper, buy alittle extra every week, take advantage of specials. Buy a liitle gold ,or silver with a every paycheck. Keep little money in bank enough to pay bills, no credit cards anymore. Best place to hide money at home is a tampon box, there's not a man alive that will touch it. People need to be prepared for anything.
