9 Excuses Why I Haven’t Started Prepping
- Something new to add to my plate, really?
- It sounds complicated.
- It sounds expensive.
- I’d rather read, take a nap, play, take a shower, do my chores, check
my email… - If I think about prepping, it will force me to think about Scary
Things That Might Happen. - Have you seen my tiny pantry? Did you say you converted an entire
bedroom?? - We’ve started couponing and have 20 deodorant bars, 15 boxes of
Kleenex, and 2 cases of water bottles. Does that count? - I’m disorganized already and can’t even keep the house picked up;
where on earth would I begin organizing THIS? - Husband, family, news, etc. hasn’t forced it higher on my To-Do List.

February 16, 2010 at 5:09 pmA friend actually told me she prepped her family for Y2K and are STILL sitting on "stuff" they haven't used.
This time they're just "trusting the Lord."

February 16, 2010 at 5:30 pmFor heaven's sake! Find out what she still owns and make her an offer!! I wonder if she and her family have any type of insurance or do they just trust in the Lord in case their house burns down or they're in a car accident.

February 18, 2010 at 12:05 amAfter sharing my prepping plans with 2 girlfriends one stated: I'll just go to McDonalds and feed my family on the dollar menu. My other friend said, "I'll just move back in with my mama and daddy" (she has a family of four). So sad!

February 18, 2010 at 4:57 pmIt may not be the end of the world, but a few people, I fear it is. And for many others, they'll likely have nightmares about today's events. This just happened less than one mile from my job.

What if this were my office building? What if I had to evacuate? What if there were people with cuts and burns? I could help them because I've got my car emergency kit ready. I've also got an alternate route home planned in case the highway is still clogged. As my husband likes to say…"belt and suspenders." Have a plan, and have a backup. My prayers for the rescue workers, victims and the pilot.

November 18, 2011 at 1:29 pmHaha, I'm "I have a couple pounds of beans, a couple pounds of rice, and a few cans of vegetables. I'm in trouble if it takes more than a month for help to find me." Hopefully I can find a way to die with dignity.

December 23, 2011 at 3:07 amOne of my favorite quotes "Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on mine". That pretty much sums it up for people that think they are just going to move in with me when TSHTF.

December 9, 2012 at 1:30 pmI am a single mother with three kids. I’m planning for somebody or somebody’s to stay with me in my house when SHTF. It will be safer that way. Although it won’t be easy.
