Month of Thanksgiving day 13

Emergency preparedness- Over the past 3-4 months Jefferson and I have been becoming more interested in emergency preparedness.  While I have always loved the practice of food storage, our interest is expanding beyond buying cans of beans and spaghetti sauce when they are on sale.  This new attitude is largely attributed to the books Jefferson started reading about different end-of-the world scenarios: EMP, economic collapse, plaque, and, yes, even zombies as well as some reference-type books, mostly "How to survive the end of the World as we know it" by James Wesley Rawles.  What all these books have in common is highlighting the fragility of the society we live in and the importance of being self-sufficient and able to defend yourself.
