28 Inconvenient Truths As The ‘S’ Will Hit The Fan

In the early days of the prepping craze, 2009-2014 or so, TEOTWAWKI was on every prepper’s mind — The End Of The World As We Know It. Wherever it originated, it struck a chord with Americans, in particular, who looked at the steep decline of their home’s value, the loss of their jobs, the devastation to their hopes of retirement and any savings, and wondered if the end of the world as they knew had become a reality.

A new surge in prepping consumes us now as a pandemic and the fear and uncertainty it brings grips our attention. What if the world as we have always known it has ended, or as one of my readers said, “I knew all along that the end of this will be the beginning of something different.”

As humans, we don’t care much for uncertainty. We like knowing what tomorrow will bring and how to plan weeks, months, and even years into the future, but it seems that God or fate or the universe has other plans for us.

So what are some inconvenient truths about TEOTWAWKI? Here are just a few of my personal observations and expectations, and let me warn you, a few may make you uncomfortable. Of course, I could be proved wrong.

• Not everyone will survive. Ouch.
• For many, circumstances will trump preparedness.
• Preparedness will cost money. There’s no way around it.
• If you talk about preparedness, you’ll be ridiculed. If you keep your mouth shut, you’ll miss out on establishing a support system that could become necessary to survival.
• A rural retreat may not save you as some belief.
• Stored food runs out, eventually.
• Even the best-prepared survivalist Navy Seal can be brought down by an infected ingrown toenail.
• You probably aren’t tough enough for what’s coming, but then again, you might surprise yourself. Some who survive, long-term, might not be the ones you expect.
• Gold and silver may be the only valid world currency (check SQ Metals for the best prices now). Their use may even be criminalized. I’m not sure that money will be the answer when the S hits the fan.

Word of the day: Prepare! And do it the old fashion way, as our forefathers did it, and succeed long before us because what lies ahead of us will require all the help we can get. Watch this video and learn the 3 skills that ensured our ancestors’ survival in hard times of famine and war.
