Quite the contrary. I think it is a very timely and informative article on an oft neglected subject. I hope I didn’t make it seem like I disagreed with your article. Quite the contrary.

They will smile at you and laugh, then turn evil in a split second. You can practice this technique or have people practice on you. Go up to someone you know and take real sweet and smile, then in a split second talk loud and harsh. Depending on the criminal some will disarm you first with their words then with their body. They will say things like "nobody will help you" or 'I'll move around so much that you won't hit me with that pistol" A great approach is to pretend that you are a spy and someone is out to kill you, but you don't know who. Also, don't be afraid to be rude. If you think someone looks like trouble, don't be afraid to avoid them or even put your hand on your gun and have it ready to pull out.

Last summer reality hit me. I realized that if we were stranded more than a few miles from home my poor physical condition and obesity would be a severe detriment to me and may family! The thought of my 2 sons being in MORE jeopardy because I was unable to make a difficult trek home truly woke me up! I have since lost 70 lbs. with a goal of loosing 30 - 50 more. This has been LONG over due, but PTL I woke up in time and added good physical fitness to my preparedness. I can only hope more people realize that being in the best physical shape possible is AS critical as storing beans, bullets, and Band Aids! Excellent article. Last summer reality hit me.

I was blessed with my husband's grandmothers cast iron skillet she used for years in her restaurant. To clean any rust, scrub well with steel wool and place well oiled pan in a hot oven to season. Cast iron cookware can be used anywhere....dig a hole, fill it with broken tree branches, place a few large rocks strategically to set your skillet on and light. Cast iron can withstand just about anything, it will last forever and it gets better with age. Cast iron cookware is a must have for any survivalist and a good investment.

We just dusted our hair especially @the roots with the flour and combed it out. It worked really well.

An apocalyptic world surely would be especially unkind to the unfit.
