<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Westtexasbound, post: 1951450, member: 54086&quot;]Good point.&nbsp; Advances in civilization allowed people to specialize and allowed for efficiencies.&nbsp; In the past you had to be a jack of all trades and probably couldn&#039;t advance much as you provided for day to day survival.&nbsp; Now you work a job for pay and can purchase all the items.&nbsp; Nature didn&#039;t plan on 7 billion cave people.&nbsp; Man just grew from his humble beginnings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Prepare for a week or a month or even a year.&nbsp; If a collapse changes things forever then we are all in trouble.&nbsp; Sure...go ahead and buy your seeds and other tools but what are you going to do with them.&nbsp; There is probably less than 1% of the population that would have&nbsp; the know how, experience and more important land to be self-sufficient.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know about you but my suburban piece of land doesn&#039;t have &quot;growing&quot; soil plus I would take several growing seasons to figure out how to sustain a crop and in the mean time would need to eat.&nbsp;&nbsp; This assumes I don&#039;t die off from illness or step on a rusty nail 5 to 10 years after my last tetnus shot.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People should have 2 weeks of food and water PERIOD.&nbsp; You never know when a natural disaster will rock your area.&nbsp; Smart people should think months and not weeks in terms of prep.&nbsp; Smart people with the extra income and SPACE should challenge themselves for 1 year.&nbsp; After 1 year I just don&#039;t see the point.&nbsp; You have to really hope that civilization will right itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
