Hi!  My name is Sallie, and I am a Newbie Doomsday Prepper.  Watching the Nat Geo show has opened my eyes and forced me to face the realities that are right before us.  I work for a state agency that assists families in need.  We receive over a 100 new applications each week, in just my office.  Whoever said the economy was getting better, LIED!!  I see the truth every day.  I want to thank whoever thought to bring this issue to light.  I can and will do ANYTHING to protect my family.  My 10 year old and I are already drawing up the plans for our underground home, including escapes routes and traps for anyone who might gain entry.  To those individuals who kind of tilt their head in wonder or dismay at Doomsday Preppers, stop and think for a moment.  If you are faced with providing for or protecting your family, will you be prepared?  Look at the LA riots, those poor people were forced to “bug in” with no preparedness.  I have always told my children, when we pack to go anywhere, I would rather have it and not need it, than the other way around. 

We are avid campers, and I grew up with an acre garden in the back yard.  I use to resent my parents making us “work the garden” and “put up the veggies.”  Now, I wish I could thank them. 

I, and you, should prepare for any event instead of just assuming that nothing that severe could ever happen.  Did we expect 9/11?  No, and we won’t expect the next one either.  Whether it is economic collapse, a terrorist attack, or a natural disaster, it’s only a matter of time.  Will you be prepared?  I will, soon!!

S.D.
