Anyone worried? (Global conflict/economy)

You’re not alone, many people are very concerned and taking precautions as well. But at the end of the day there’s only so much you can do so worrying about things you can’t control just wastes energy.

Throughout history human beings have faced and made it though extremely challenging circumstances.

Carry on, this too shall pass.

Start looking into growing something, possibly food-wise. Not only helps with food stocks but it also boosts your mentality.

Here is the thing, you can “Prep” all you want, but if a true global conflict happens all the prepping in the world wont help, A Global Conflict would escalate to Nuclear War quickly and well. That ends badly for everyone.

Your food stores will quickly be contaminated and rendered useless. Same with water. Then you have the survivors like yourself to worry about. Do you think it will be like a Hollywood Production? No they will just kill you and take what you have.

Luckily the odds of a Nuclear War is next to nothing because even the crazy politicians know that.

What you should be doing is simple; Saving your money, Paying off your debts, Teaching your kids to do the same and never giving them anything, make them earn it by doing choirs and if it breaks make them earn the cost to repair it by taking on more choirs. That is Prepping for the long term future.

Short term, if you can grow your own Garden. Grow it with things that can be stored for a long period of time and that are actually Healthy.  Berries, Peppers, Onions Carrots, Broccoli, Celery, Herbs.  Learn to Hunt and Fish. Those can be stored for long periods of time as well.  When you do go to the store, buy HEALTHY foods (not organic, all that is is 15 to 20% more on your bill) Stay clear of of the Middle isles all they are is adding to your Bill as well.

Let me address the “Organic crap more now” There is MILLIONS of Americans well in to their 90’s who ate just regular store bought stuff and are fine, hell they smoked and lived in houses with Lead pipes and Lead pain with Asbestos even “GASP THE HORROR”. Prepping should be about doing what you can for the long term of you and your family and lets face it Financial Security is the #1 most important thing to prepare for.

Now growing your own Garden. Cost up front is something to take in to account. I have always had a Garden it was how I was raised so second nature to me. But that does not mean break the bank….

First, pic Herbs that are either evergreen or perennial and use them as Landscaping around your house. Same with Berries and Grapes and fruit trees. As to the Garden, simple fence pickets to build your beds is cheap and last for up to 15 years, I know it is how I do my beds. Grow the things you can freeze or can (Canning is simple). Upfront cost for 10 (3×6)1o inch high beds is about 600.00 Plants you can either buy or grow from seed…. In all honesty buying is about the same price as growing yourself for some plants. If you buy them each year figure in 100 to 200 for them.

Sounds like a lot I know, but stop and think about it. 1 Jalapeño plant can produce 200 peppers which is about 15 lbs at todays prices  is near 30 bucks with tax. Throw in say 6 raspberries which produce about 30 lbs at 48 bucks, you can see how quickly you can pay off your upfront cost and save money. Year 2 you are saving money! And by saving money I mean not just in fresh but in Frozen that keeps you saving through the year.

Prep for your future and your kids future by teaching them to earn and save, do not worry about the world, worry about your family first and your community second and the world Last.
