How bad will it get and are you preparing?

[HK4U]

have been discussing and cussing the need for the best physical conditioning you can get to. when it hits and it will, you are gonna have to work hard at staying alive physically. doing more manual labor than ever and possible defending yourself, your family and maybe others from the never ending hoard of zombies and other no goodniks coming to do all manner of evil

Not to get off topic here, but yes, and yes, and no offense to Dale Evans, but I'm far more likely to respond to mom than Dale.

We have been planning for some time. While we live in a heavily populated area, we have friends who are out in the country. We have prepared escape routes for us to get to their place. My wife and I both carry BOB's in our vehicles in case we get caught away from home. We have made all types of contingencies for where to go or meet in this type of event.

We have been storing all of the essentials. I do not think gold or any monetary instruments will be of any use when the SHTF. The only metals we are storing up is lead. We will be on a total barter system with like minded people.

For those who are not like minded, well that is what the lead is for.

I am ready for just about any contingency but not willing to be the guy to start it all off. Ready for the dance but not liking the music.

I'm not ready to panic yet, but I'm storing food, water purification stuff, cash, physical gold and silver. I've got a BOB ready to go in case it gets really bad.
