Am new here, and having a hard time figuring everything out and finding my way around! I want to take up prepping as a hobby or even obsession, as I know things are really going to the crapper on this crazy little planet of ours, I find that most people I know (well all people actually) do not really care about the fact that big pharma, big agri (monsanto etc) and big oil are really messing things up quickly, and I can't find a way around it. Try to get people on my FB to sign a no GMO Apples petition is like pulling teeth!!! These are the people who just go on with day to day life, running for the cure as they fill out their prescriptions for anti-depressants, and grab a diet coke on the way out of shoppers drug mart... They make no sense to me and act like I'm the one who is insane! Anyway, Hi from Durham region, Ontario!! Is there anyone who is on the same page as me? lol

Welcome!
You aren't nuts and you have found MANY who are thinking the same way 🙂
Starting out will seem overwhelming at times but, take it step by step and one thing at a time and trust me, we ALL have very LONG to do lists lol

Hi and welcome.
I just do the best I can to cut big pharma, big agri (monsanto etc) and big oil out of my life. All they know is money so starve em out.

Welcome, there are a number of us that are taking steps that while fitting in the prepper mode also fit stepping lightly and in line with a number of ideas that fit the homesteading or green movement.. look forward to getting to know you better,

Are you Nuts? Thats a Loud Resounding YES!!!

But... according to the general population and mass media as a whole everyone of us here and every Prepper around the world is Nuts so... Welcome aboard the insanity express 🙂

I think everyone here shares the same feelings as you do. many of us may have different thoughts on what is going wrong or what the cause of it all is/or will be, we may even have different idea's on what we need to do to Prepare, but rest assured we all feel that there are big problems on the horizon.

Your among Friends now.

This is awesome, I like really like this site and the people, everyone is really friendly, and am starting to believe I'm not crazy! haha Wish more people would get their heads out of the clouds and wake up to the sad reality that whether or not shit hits the fan for us, it will most certainly for our kids and grand kids at this rate! I could never convince anyone that although our grandparents were never part of the Mc D's or GMO generation as kids, and might be living til their 80's or 90's that this generation of little ones won't be so lucky! I'm currently a student to become a registered holistic nutritionist and know what the body needs, and what badly hurts it, and in my opinion today's little guys are not very lucky. They are bombarded with refined, processed foods, layered in chemicals from everything from soaps, shampoos, slathered in sunscreen and thousands of other daily assaults. They wonder why autism, allergies, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, alzheimer's are on the rise! I can answer that for them, but they don't believe me, and just go on doing what they think is normal.. And I totally feel like the odd one out! But still, I do what I can to protect my own, and there is not much else I can do I suppose but watch and wait! I feel stuck in a house with smart meters surrounding us, yet there is no long term studies telling us that these are safe. I use wifi, and my cell, but feel somewhat reassured because I have I have those polymer thingies sticking on everything, but I don't understand the science behind it, so its most like just a false sense of security! lol So, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that humanity is doomed unless things change quick! I'm sure everyone has their own reasons and beliefs as to which direction things will get us! So, it's really nice to meet everyone in this virtual place of realists! haha

The ones that are nuts are ones that don't prep; prepping is a must in this country, it may be just for a 72 hour bug in or the ever looming catastrophic calamity of Biblical proportion..
Prep for what ever reason; as long as you are prepared, you better your chances for survival......


Better to have it and not need it; then to need it and not have it...
