prepping IS timeless

[Rush2112]

"prepping" used to be called common sense. i dont think many people (including myself) know anything about true hunger. thats a good thing. but i'm only seperated by one generation to having bombs falling from the sky. (grandfather served in 8th AF bomber group).

we've had a good run for quite a while, but as they say all goods things must end. history also shows this.

following is a quote by famine survivor Mrs. Liu recounting the winter of 1959 in northern China. Warning: if you are easily offended please skip this and go on to the next post.

"On the muddy path leading from the village, dozens of corpses lay unburied. In the barren fields there were others; and amongst the dead, the survivors crawled slowly on their hands and knees searching for wild grass seeds to eat. In the ponds and ditches people squatted in the mud hunting for frogs and trying to gather weeds..... The dead were left where they died because no one had the strength to bury them.....The silence was unnatural. The village oxen had died, the dogs had been eaten and the chickens and ducks had long ago been confiscated by the communist party in lieu of grain taxes. There were no birds left in the trees, and the trees themselves had been stripped of their leaves and bark. At night there was no longer even the scratching of rats and mice, for they too had been eaten or had starved to death."
