I have this voice in my head telling me to prepare for 12.21.12

best be safe than sorry right?

Indeed, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

well you sure waited to the last minute to think about it.better late then never i guess

I dont think anything is gonna happen personally...

but what if...

great chance for bombs to drop or something of that notion... a false flag...

even if that doesnt happen...

whatever you prepare for now... you will have in the future during an emergency. Sooner or later a snow storm.. a tornadic storm, an earth quake, a hurricane and so on will effect us all... at least something is bond to effect and disrupt our lives.

Its always good to have some sort of prep... any prep is better than no prep

Yeah, that's my skeptical side I developed from coming to this site for too long...

My biggest worry is how much "down time" to prepare for. I heard this could be a 2 to 3 month ordeal...

I couldn't sleep last night for that same reason ... feeling the itch to prepare (even more!) so got up and made a bunch of homemade emergency candles.

Have the ingredients to make some herbal remedies too, have been putting that off, but need to do it this week. Salves for healing, dried herbs for calming (to give to panicking people), those kinds of preps. Already have the standard food, water, matches, etc.

I don't like letting this crap get to me, but it's getting to me. Pisses me off. But I'll do what I must for peace of mind like yourself.

Emergency candle from a tub of Crisco: But if the tub is made of cardboard don't use that, instead melt Crisco down and pour into old coffee cans or other metal containers. You can buy wicks and metal tabs to hold the wick down for a couple dollars at Michaels or craft stores. Sit a wooden spoon across the top of the container to hold the wick in place until it hardens.

Personally I try to keep enough on hand to cover at least a month of daily essentials.Three months would probably be better.I made peace in my own mind that if there is more than 3 months of extreme turmoil I dont really want to struggle longer than that.Only get stuff you will use either way.
I wasted a lot of money during the 2000 roll over only to end up tossing most of the stuff.Cant live for doom but we do need to prepare enough to look after our self for a little while.

Thanks brother (or sister)...
