Anyone reading anything lately?

Here are a couple collections of videos on survivalist topics that I'd think y'all would be interested in.

These guys are perfect models of disaster preparedness, and I think that regardless of your financial situation, everyone should follow these guidelines to some degree or another, because I think we all fear that the proverbial excrement is headed quickly towards the fan. Man, that's a weird statement, when has anyone ever seen someone throw poop at a fan? I doubt that it has ever happened, and definitely don't want to be around when/if it does. I'd probably prefer total economic collapse to someone throwing poop at my fan, honestly.

YouChooseASide's collection of videos, who is a bit of a ranter and tries to get people to understand the situation we're presented with, but also locks down a few important topics.
Ryan has exhaustive videos on many different survival/camping topics (fire starting, knots, bug out bags) and does reviews on several products, including the Glock handgun and M15 gas mask. I haven't seen the majority of the videos yet, but I'll probably watch them all.

I'm serious, fellas, get on the ball with this stuff. The "I don't have enough money" argument is the one I hear the most, but let's be honest, would you rather drink beer (or other intoxicating hobbies, ahem), go to concerts, buy video games and cable tv, or would you rather be able to eat and survive when times get tough? Just whittle away some of that truly unproductive spending or earn some more money in a creative way (please stay legal, you don't want to be in prison when things get bad, you'll be screwed, and we need you intelligent folks out here!). I'm not saying don't enjoy your life, just don't be wasteful in a trying time.
You can buy these long-lasting, easy to prepare (low energy & resource inputs) foods little by little every time you go to the grocery store. Honestly, what is $25 a week? You can achieve this, and absolutely can't rely on anyone else to help you, your friends will be more interested in self preservation than helping you. They will feel bad for you, but they will turn you away, possibly at gun point.

Learn about caching, both food and other items, and do it!
The food is on the shelves now, but it won't always be, you can bet on that. Comfort and availability of goods has lulled people into believing that life is easy and will be forever, but our economy and government are incredibly unstable and heading towards massive decline. Martin of the videos above believes christmas-time or the period immediately following it will be when we really see it all go down. Who knows, but it is undoubtedly a responsible decision right now to prepare yourself mentally and physically for what is likely to come.

I've felt redundant a lot here, but what I'm saying is important. More to come

Wake Up! Educate Yourself! Take Action!,
