I have written out a list of what to do if the time arises and I have made 4 copies. One for home, one for each car and one for work. TRUST me when I say I am as prepared as they come reguarding plans, exit strategies etc.
First and foremost...Congrats on the little one! I loved your post. And I too believe it's in gods hands, and really, I'm not trying to pre-contemplate looting...trust me. I'm def not planing on it...But I wanted to throw some honesty in this thread....and if push comes to shove, So be it! I'm not a firm believe in just waiting around and seeing what the Lord will do whem the time arises. Like I said, I plan for the worst. I am prepared for a small disaster and a life threatening one. Hopefully I won't need to use my skills. We have escape routes and picked places withing 50 miles all around us, We've buiilt shelters (and are going to do more this spring/summer), we have food and water and most of the things you NEED. Heck, I even have stock piled veggie seeds and wheat, etc. And yes, we do have lists of things the family could do to make money. It's all on the same list I have copies of (10 pages long).
Like I said, I think we might be planning for different types of disasters. I'm planning for the worst. The worst to me means, NO ONE will have food to spare. NO ONE. Comapsion towards children isn't going to help if you and your family are starving too.
GREAT IDEA>
On that note, it's been a good conversation with you all but I've got lots to do. You know where I stand, you can either love me or hate me but know that I have the guts to speak the truth. I'm trying not to sugar coat a shtf situation. I'm more prepared than most can comprehend. And maybe I shouldnt think about a situation so bad that you have to do things you totally disagree with, but atleast if it is needed...I know what I'm doing! Looting/stealing would be going against everything I stand for...everything I believe in, everything I AM!
Take care and I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday! God Bless.
If I loot....i'm close to dead already. Like I said...looting IS MY LAST OPTION! I'm not going to defend myself any more on this situation. You can read my previous posts to know my feelings on the subject. that's it.Just as long as you're prepared to let your family starve without you. If you loot, you will be killed. If not the first time, then one of the next times, but you will be killed. Your family is now more likely to starve or God knows what horrible fate. It's a bad idea
I sympathize with your sentiments of doing whatever it takes to provide for family (my wife and I are expecting a little girl any day now, after waiting many years for this blessing). I will certainly "do whatever it takes", but i'm not pre-contemplating any looting. If worse comes to worst, i'll just have to see what the Lord provides. He will provide for our needs, not always our wants

There will be some that will do anything they can to help feed those that are without, especially children. I think most people in this country still have compassion for children.

Our alternative package would be a map of other ares where people can go from here, and a small food portion to help them along. An outer area on our property designated for those who wish to "camp"- "out" with us for a short period of time.

And I agree and have taken the same steps here as you. I think the difference is that I KNOW it will be attempted if the situation arises. It sucks...but its the truth! There are hundreds of people in our area (and your area and everyones area) who are completly clueless. So if it gets as bad as it could...expect to be bum rushed, I DO.As a Micro Farmer or Rancher, I have a security perimeter, and various other measures in place that add to my security. I won't say more than that, but to add may God have mercy on the soul of them that attempt to breach my perimeter. The act of attempting to breach, is in my view a physical attack on me and mine and would be dealt with accordingly.
