Okay, none of us here are clueless, right?  So what are each of 
us doing/done to prepare for the fall off the olduvai cliff?  
Can you live comfortably where you are without a job, food 
stores, fuel stations, or grids?  Can you feed and clothe 
yourself without all the support system amenities we're so used 
to?  Can you protect yourself and loved ones from those who did 
nothing about their own self-sufficiency and who might try to 
take your setup away from you?  If so, are you just waiting, to 
see how it all goes down?  Or will you just accept being a 
casualty because you don't see such a life as worth living?  Or 
do you believe it won't get that bad in our lifetime?  Or ever?  

I'd be interested in hearing what members of this group are 
thinking and doing to prepare themselves and their families for 
what is ahead.
