And there has been a huge disconnect in the last 50 years.

My grand parents had a cellar full of canned goods, a couple cord of wood always cut, almost everyone carried a pocket knife, the list goes on & on.

Technology has severly limited the last two generations of how to be prepared to take care of themselves.

I'm not saying that I want to go back to their world, but we should know how to do this stuff in case we had to for a couple weeks, months or even years while the U.S. tries to recover from the next terriorist attack.

Or we can sit around & whine until FEMA shows up.
