One of the ironic consequences that I saw in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike is people running out of gas for their generators and then leaving them without electrical power. You see, when they went to get gas at the store, the stores didn’t have electricity to run their gas pumps plus the gasoline distributors were only delivering gas to the stores with power, which were on the edge of the storm path, some 1 1/2 hours or more away. It really hit home why I needed a Solar System or at least a solar generator for emergency backup power.

Survivalism, Emergency Preparedness and Self Reliance. What Do They Have In Common?
May 28th, 2009 · Comments Off · Self Reliance
I guess the way to start off this blog is to share some of my thoughts with you so that you can get a better handle on me and how I look at the World today. For one, I think that Survivalism, emergency preparedness and self reliance are all pretty much one and the same. Or it should be in my opinion. I don’t consider myself as a “Survivalist” in the traditional sense that most people think of a Survivalist. Let’s face it, when most people think of a Survivalist, they think of Rambo holding out in some remote area waiting for the World to collapse. That’s not me and I’m sure it’s not most of your folks. If you’re one of those folks, more power to you and please save a spot for me if I’m wrong! =)
