When it hits the fan\u2026I mean REALLY hits the fan in a permanent kind of way, the most likely outcome is death.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not pretty, and I\u2019m well aware of it. I always try to be positive and optimistic, because, for me, preparedness is the ultimate act of optimism<\/a>, but sometimes we have to look at the numbers and face some things that are pretty terrifying. The first reality check is that some research says that only 3 million Americans are preppers.<\/a>\u00a0 That means that 315 million Americans are not<\/em> preppers. Some experts predict that\u00a0within 30 days of the power going out, 50% of Americans will be dead. Within a year, an astounding 90% of the population will be dead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you want to survive such a scenario? Do you want your children to survive? When you read this information, you have to realize that it\u2019s very unlikely that you and your family would live through a grid failure of a year or more unless you are proactive and develop a preparedness plan<\/a> that takes all of these causes of death\u00a0into consideration.<\/p>\n

  1. You die of thirst or waterborne illness<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Most people have a case of water bottles kicking around, and perhaps a 5-gallon jug for the water cooler. What they don\u2019t have is a gallon a day per person for a long-term emergency. Most people also don\u2019t own a gravity fed, no-power necessary water filtration device with spare parts and extra filters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
