All I can say is..Live your life as you normally would, but just be prepared. Nothing wrong with having certain skills, but don't stop your life for something that -might- happen.


Remember that people on ATS have been predicting imminent SHTF scenes for the past several years.

I have given thought of leaving ATS for awhile.I am spending about 3
hours a day on here.I was already involved in end time scenarios before
I joined.I want to be prepared for the worst.

Glad to hear that, but people do not about who is watching or keeping track of what others are doing. I am simply trying to point that out to some of posters what can be put together out of any post “if” someone is watching. Nothing more or less, just a observation of some of what I read here and other forums. I see people what type of guns they have, how much ammo, I have some much of this or that. Not real smart when you do not know whom you are talking to on these boards. That is and was the only point I am trying to make.

Something to think about? Some people maybe “window shopping” on some of these boards. Just passing some “free advice”, stay safe.

That's what I've been realizing,I'm going through excess baggage.I'm
giving up because I have never had much encouragement.What I've
wanted to do has always been low priority in my family.

That is true and I will try and keep my mouth shut.I don't mind trying
to help others learn useful skills though.
So,are you window shopping?

That's a great question.
I imagine the E.L.E.would be terrestrial,volcano eruption,earthquakes,
nuclear war and winter,polar shift,disease,famine and last but not least,
nwo population control.
I would pray!


Basically what I was leaning towards if say 6 asteriods were in EARTHs path TYPE ELE to eliminate the demons runnin ish down here behind the scenes. And friend not at all battering your post as you seemed concerned enough about your fellow humans to create this thread and thats cool wit me all day.

If our planet were to be bombarded by asteroids we would have some
warning of their approach.People could then decide how to spend their
last days.Some would panic and some would party!

Silver goods might be valuable if the SHTF. The disaster can't be so severe that the planet is destroyed, but not so localizied that people can ignore it. People will have to lose faith in paper money, realize that right now it is just a piece of paper. When they do that, silver might become valuable. I think food, water, shelter, knowledge, and other goods will become the new currency.

There is a balance between normal life and SHTF preparedness. Maybe it is owning a disaster home far away on some mountain. Maybe it is having your SUV full of gas/supplies and good to go. It could also be having a B.O.B. by the door. It all depends on what you can afford and how much money you are willing to part with.

I dream of a castle on a cliff with a huge bunker complex stocked with enough supplies to last me 500 years. It would have an armory with every type of gun, a 50 foot wide 50 foot deep moat on the perimeter. There'd be a farm in the center, solar panels coating the exterior, wind turbines everywhere. Basically, the survivalist's top goal. I sure can't finance these dreams though. That'd be the top of the pyramid for my preparedness, and every step down is less prepared and less costly. The question is which step are you on??

With the economy being so bad,that is one of the reasons why I'm
giving up.As a christian,I know we are living in the end times.I want
to start selling things off and prepare my family for whatever happens.

I 100% agree with this idea. You shouldn't be giving up your dreams for a "what if" scenario. Sure, it is better to be safe than sorry, but in these hard [economic] times, i think that it would be smarter for you to keep the job you have rather than giving up a source of income. However, if you are absolutely certain in your decision, than you should follow your intentions. BUT, I think that if you switched to running an online store for survival equipment, you would be able to make money, and stockpile supplies while running it. Whatever you do, just make sure its really what you want to do.
