God will have to do the rest.<br />where we live there is the possibility of electric outages, so even if you're not prepping it is good to have some gallons of water , a small barbeque outfit with charcoal and matches, and some thing you can eat straight from the can or package.<br />sorry i've gone on so long but these things have been niggling at me for years, especially since our child was born. how will it be for this next generation who so constantly have their noses in i-phones that they no longer have direct conversation, and who think food comes from the grocery store?<br />God help them and us.<br />deb harveyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-78427495447166576572012-09-06T09:59:52.282-04:002012-09-06T09:59:52.282-04:00Indeed it would.

Of course, there's fewer people living here now and fewer of them know how to live off the land.
