I just got through corresponding via Email with a gentleman from ABC who is looking to do a program on main stream Americans who are starting to see the writing on the wall and are stocking up for surviving hard times and even going so far as to going off the grid.
I had left a comment on another website, as I have already started in.
I forget that when I comment on other WordPress sites it is real easy to track me down. (waving at the NSA guys)
I gave him a lot of good info and websites to go look at and even a phone number to an excellent site based right down the road from where I grew up on the coast of Oregon.
I think that this is a very good time to address this subject.
A huge number of people in this country don’t have the faintest clue what to do when the lights go out.
Myself, I have been surviving by my wits for years and I can be pretty damn resourceful when I have to be.
If you are interested, this place has more information than you can shake a dead cat at;
Things are getting scary and the Recession/Depression no one wants to talk about has already started, I suggest you do too.

it has already started..I call it the ReCeding Depression,,,kind of like when a fella loses his hair,but we don;t talk about it….( I don’t mean this meanly- I just keep thinking about my grandfather who ’s hair was receding and we were not allowed to ever notice or acknowledge it for years…)
anyways the “Recession” that is being Denied or ignored or bushed back and is supposed to recede into the background…is still here…and getting bigger and grimmer by the day…

I live in the center of a major metropolitan area so little of this is going to be much help for me. Unfortunately my profession requires that I live where I am living. I guess I die. Won’t be the first die-off that happens in a major city when civilization fails — Rome went from having a million people in 300AD to having fewer than 40,000 living in its ruins by 500AD.
The only good thing is that because I am at the top of my profession, I may get some interest from overseas for my skills before the final collapse happens. If so, I’ll jump on it, guaranteed…
