Ask yourself the following questions:

1. How organised are you in terms of being prepared for future problems?
2. What will I do if Council Rates go up with the new goverment?
3. What will I do if the cost of vehicle fuel or heating fuel goes up?
4. If I loose your income, how will you pay your bills, or even worse, your debts?
5. If your rent goes up, will you still be able to pay it?
6. If your mortgage interest rate goes up to 18% like in the 1980’s, and the value of your house drops by another 20%, what will you do?
7. If one or more major banks close their doors, like what happened with Northern Rock, will you survive the time until the government covers you by their £50K guarantee?
8. If the Katla volcano next to the present Eyjafjallajökull volcano errupts, will you survive without air travel?  What if medications cannot get across the Atlantic as was about to happen with the initial air closures?
9. If you live in a city and riots occur near your house, like recently in Greece, how would you cope if this was prolonged?
10. If crime rises significantly when the people illegaly claiming benefits have them cut, will you feel safe in your present home location?
11. If the mobile phone masts were to fail for a prolonged period of time, would you have any serious consequences from this?
12. If any or all of the electricity, gas or water supplies to your neighbourhood, stopped for a prolonged period of time, how would you cope, would you freeze or run out of drinkable water.
13. If the local supermarket were to close, because of financial collapse, how would you keep fed along with all the other people in your community.
14. If an organised criminal gang moved into your neighbourhood, and you were at risk of being attacked, would you be able to avoid conflict, and if you or your family were approached and attacked, could you defend yourself by legal means?

While the above list might appear long, these are only a fraction of the scenarios that we should all have thought through, and if we havent already, then we really should make a start as a priority.  Preparedness is a very important way of life.  Our ancestors lived by this on a daily basis, planning for the next meal, the next days work, the next seasons farming, keeping ahead of the game.  But nowadays, for many of us in the UK, things are just too easy.  Our food is all prepared and provided for us by supermarkets, electricity, fuel and water is all on tap.

It is a well known phrase in the preppers world that the average person in the UK is only a few days away from starvation.

Think about it. It might save your life.
