This could happen here

I hear you, NR.
I just vented a bit but I certainly am not losing sleep over a load of stupid sheeple.
As to prepping, it will continue despite my having to go it slowly - very slowly. It has turned out to be a blessing 'cos I have thankfully avoided throwing my limited finances after the wrong things. And it gives me the chance to re-check plans as I go. Thankfully the kids are learning the little I currently know and am trying to pass to them.
I am so thankful that I live half an hour's walk from their school and don't need a road to get there if I have to do so in an event. Hopefully my new job will be within reasonable distance to my home and the school.
Ultimately we do need to leave this deathtrap city...
As to the die-off being awful, it certainly will be but only because the numbers will be huge.

My boys are the only people I have any obligations and responsibility to so that will be good for me...

by the way, I need some clarification on water filters please.
I am more confused after checking out the Avensoft site.
Am not sure which of the candle types to get as I have not got any clearer info.
Then there is the Berkfield...

I know this is in the wrong area of the forum but I would really appreciate any clarification you can give me.
