As The Perfect Storm Approaches, Most Americans Are Partying Instead Of Preparing<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t think of a time when Americans were more apathetic about getting prepared, and yet this is exactly the time when the urgency to get prepared should be at the highest.  Earlier today, my wife Meranda and I were discussing the fact that every single element of \u201cthe perfect storm\u201d is coming together just as we had anticipated.  One by one, the pieces are all falling into place, and I share the most recent things that my research has uncovered with all of you on a daily basis<\/a>.  Unfortunately, most Americans are absolutely convinced that there is no reason to get prepared for hard times because everything is going to be just great.  In America today, most people either believe that the future is going to be totally wonderful or that the future will be totally wonderful once we get rid of Trump.  Because so many of us have adopted one of these false narratives, most Americans are partying instead of preparing, and that is going to mean big trouble when things really start going haywire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you familiar with \u201cthe rule of three\u201d?  I just looked it up on Google<\/a>, and this is how it is defined\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can survive<\/strong> for 3<\/strong> Minutes without air (oxygen) or in icy water. You can survive<\/strong> for 3<\/strong> Hours without shelter in a harsh environment (unless in icy water) You can survive<\/strong> for 3<\/strong> Days without water (if sheltered from a harsh environment) You can survive<\/strong> for 3<\/strong> Weeks without food (if you have water and shelter)\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Of course these numbers are not exact.  For example, many have gone without food for more than 3 weeks without serious problems.  But in general, this is a pretty good guideline for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
