After sending you that clip I read this on your website. I am glad that you are trying to wake up people to the possibility that life could dramatically change and for people to reflect upon their absolute dependency on society for their every need. The world, the economy is changing and it seems so few are willing to change their lifestyle and their closed minds. There needs to be more messages like yours out there, waking up people to the fact that the society they depend so much on may not always be there to take care of even their basic needs. Thanks Wretha, for the good you are doing and for all the information that you post to help us folks out!

Exactly my thoughts – thank you!!! I am actively preparing for my family with what we can do NOW. I’ve got a piece of land paid for and will be moving as soon as I have some shelter established. No, it’s not West Texas (yet ;)) but it will work for us. As for friends and family just showing up? I would like to think that the good Lord will provide enough that I can help some people, but as I’ve been clamoring on about this to most friends and family for over a year, I don’t have much sympathy for someone who sits back and turns a deaf ear to what is happening. If they want to continue to mesmerize themselves with the latest iteration of ‘American Idol’ or ‘Grand Theft Auto XX’, then be my guest. Just don’t try to find me when it all goes to pot.

Thanks Elizabeth! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. :) I think too many people have the mindset that they could just “survive” with no knowledge of how to survive, I’m afraid there may be lots of people out there who will be getting a very rude awakening sooner or later… I hope it never comes, but if it does, I know I’ll survive longer than most, I suspect you will too.

I’m glad you enjoy reading my articles, I enjoy writing them, and will continue doing so for as long as I can.

Wretha,
I have enjoyed reading your articles. It is so silly to think someone could walk to a farm and expect to take up residence. Talking about living in a dream world. Right now I live with my mom who has a farm. We are not even close to be self sustaining. We garden and have cattle and it is very challenging. You are so right, they have no idea what it takes.

This is what happened in Argentina not long ago. It can happen here.

Take this to heart.

Go Wretha! I have often thought the very same things. So many people have no idea how to get by without a grocery store nearby. I think that more families need to band together and help each other survive, not just in bad times, but also in good. We all need to tap the experiences of our elders and really listen and learn from them.
I hope these economic hard times actually turn out to be a good thing by waking people up. We all need to learn to get back to basics. If people would quit CONSUMING so much, I can’t help but think they would be happier.
