Are you already a "Survivalist"?

TEOTWAWKI: You Don't Need to be a Survivalist to Know What it Means; that Alone Should Worry You

Are you a survivalist or do you consider yourself to be prepared? If you do then you know what TEOTWAWKI stands for right? It means The End Of The World As We Know It, that’s why people just kind of make it shorter, it takes up too much room any other way you say. The fact that people know what it means or for that matter are even thinking like that should be sending warnings off in your head. Its pretty sad when people are planning on a major meltdown and even making up words for it.
Is it the whole 2012 deal? Is it a giant comet hitting the earth? How about the new craze which is a zombie attack? Maybe its a video game? The truth is no, its not any of those things. The sad part it that its based on what more and more people are seeing happen around the nation and the world. Most responsible people are saving more, buying a few extra food items when they go shopping. Not buying things they don’t need. All pretty normal stuff when things get tight. But how do you explain the huge increase in gun and ammo sales? I know, its all Obama right? Nope, its more than that. People are concerned over a variety of events they see happening. Things like an economic collapse are right at the top. Terrorism is up there as well. A civil breakdown in whatever form you can foresee, the scenarios go on for awhile. But the key here is that people, normal everyday people have lost faith in the things that they normally took for granted. Normal people see trouble on the horizon and are trying to get prepared for it. By the way, the safe picture above, is probably a little more prepared than most so don’t worry, I’m just trying to figure out how they got in my bomb shelter to get the picture.
Another sign that should worry people is that mothers are getting concerned more and more everyday. Polls showing people believe their lives are better than what their children will have is a sure sign of problems. People believing the country is going in the wrong direction by almost two to one is another one. When mothers start worrying about their children, its reached critical mass. These people don’t believe in giant asteroids hitting the earth, they believe the country and the world is sliding out of control. TEOTWAWKI to them is the loss of faith in the government, faith in society to do whats right. They see a government grabbing power, an economy not going anywhere, unemployment still going up and no jobs in sight. They see their savings dwindling down to nothing, they see bills building up. They see banks getting money but normal people loosing their homes and cars. They see rogue nations testing and developing nuclear weapons knowing these countries hate America. There is for sure a lot to be worried about other than zombies or comets or how about this one, global warming.
So if you are storing away things are you a survivalist now? Does being prepared or at least trying to, make you “one of those people”? I don’t think so. And it looks like the survivalist stores, camping stores, preparedness web sites, gun stores, even bulk food sales store don’t think so either. Don’t believe them, ask gold dealers about their business right now. You are not alone out there feeling like you need to do something. The guy next door maybe a survivalist now and you don’t even know it. Do you have stuff stored in your basement? If you do, guess what, your part of the growing crowd. Take my advice, if you can start preparing a little at a time. Money is tight I realize this, but if you can work on it if you have not already started. People need to understand, perception becomes or is reality most times. People are feeling threatened and vulnerable and our government is not doing anything to help, as a matter of fact they may be the cause for some if not most of it. A calm steady hand we do not have at the helm. One incident could start thing ball rolling, don’t be in its path when it does. TEOTWAWKI or not, a few extra bucks saved now will never hurt you late
