<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lucyray, post: 1126885, member: 24565&quot;]Yes, Rono, very well said.&nbsp; You have touched on most all of the important facets of &quot;being prepared&quot;.&nbsp; Personally, I believe it&#039;s the responsible way to live life!&nbsp; Regarding whether or not having a pile of silver and gold coins would or would not be of little use...well, part of being prepared is looking a bit past the beginning of an &quot;event&quot; to what comes later, and in my opinion, having something with you (as you mentioned, a roll of eagles in your backpack) is almost prudent! (If possible.)&nbsp; There is a hierarchy of needs that we may still strive for, even in a catastrophic event.&nbsp; Right at this moment, those folks who have survived the tsunami/earthquake/nuclear reactors... will be right there working of the basic needs; food, water, AIR, warmth, lodging, safety, family if possible, perhaps medical attention..&nbsp; As time goes by and they go forward there will be other needs, not just the basic first level.&nbsp; So, yep, I think preparedness includes far more than food and water.&nbsp; I also might add, at least from my perspective, to maintain your &quot;faith&quot; (whatever it is made of), always being &quot;ready&quot; in the event of a catastrophic event such as we have all seen this weekend.</p><p>I am so sad for all of those people.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Lucy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
