Claire Wolfe has been having a preparedness discussion that has a lot of very good information. Not a hand-wringing TEOTWAWKI- "you GOTTA have ALL this stuff" discussion, but a calm, realistic discussion.
I highly recommend you check it out.

Expect the unexpected. Be adaptable. Survival preps are fun, and they should be fun. If you make them fun people will want to join you. If you make preps tedious and serious people will call you names.
Please don't be like the person I mentioned preparedness to yesterday. She is convinced there is some basis to the "Mayan Apocalypse" stuff, and that it will actually end up being a good thing, but when I asked if she had set aside "extra food, cash, or whatever", she replied emphatically that no, that was "fear". I kinda talked her past that, I think, but I wonder why people feel this way about normal "insurance".
