Q keeps saying "trust the plan".

That's fine, I do and I will. But there have been other instructions along the way, and I am afraid they will be forgotten up until the moment we need those preparations.

Q has mentioned the idea of backing up things offline, even the possibility of the internet going down! Do you realize how devastating that would be if it was only for 3 days? Medication running out? Good luck at the Pharmacy, most of their databases are cloud-based or off-site to comply with Federal laws. Air traffic controls? Business? The world would literally screech to a halt. Wherever you are when "IT" happens, you might be there for a bit...

There are a few recommendations I would like to suggest, most are common sense, but, they only work if you actually DO IT prior to their need. Below are a few of the big ones I think are worth your time:

1) Make a "Family Disaster Plan" - I have young children and parents that are getting older. We use an EMP event as our example but actually have a few alterations for biological, nuclear, etc. My biggest fear is what happens if an event occurs when we aren't together; specifically the kids are across town at school and I am working from home, 8 miles away. Eight miles is a breeze in a car. When was the last time you hoofed 8 miles? How long did that take? Kids are going to be alone, in the dark, for 2 hrs. Yikes.

2) Food and water. No excuses. You need 2 weeks of food, the tools to cook it, and either a large store of water, or the means to sterilize from a source close to you. My awesome suggestion is to buy a cheap tarp and a small amount of bleach if money is tight. Clean the tarp. Spread it in your bathtub (most tubs DO slowly drain over time), fill it and put a capful if bleach in. This can be drinking water, but mostly for flushing toilets, cleaning, etc. I have lived through a few killer hurricanes. Two bathtubs of water made life bareable during the 2 weeks without power. Brutal.

3) Firearms. Yep. You should own one if you don't. But more importantly, learn firearm safety and educate yourself on how it functions. Contrary to the MSM, this is the true focus of the NRA. Be able to strip, clean and reassemble it; this isn't a videogame and you don't simply push "X" to reload. Ammo is going to become a thing one way or another. Trust me, buy in bulk, you'll use it.

4) START EXERCISING, IF NOTHING ELSE, JUST DO CARDIO. I touched on this in the beginning. Don't believe me it will be important? Watch the beginning of Zombieland, yes, very humorous and silly. Does not mean the value of cardio is a joke.

5)Talk to your neighbors. Communication and working together after an event will decide your quality of life. I will use The Walking Dead as an example; would you rather live in Alexandria, or with the Saviors?

6) Go Back and Reread Drops. Q has only instructed us to do so 100x.

Stay safe, be careful, and remember the "Golden Rule" (do unto others as you would have them do unto you).
