Pennsylvania Man Dies–Unnecessarily–This is the Purpose of the Survival Nut!

Our purpose at thesurvivalnut.com is to save lives.  Bottom line.  We want people to live another day, in spite of their desperate circumstances.

The headline reads:

This man and his girlfriend called 911 over the course of 30 hours in order to get emergency help.  Because of the massive snow pile up and closed roads, they never reached him. He died. Unnecessarily. There will be an investigation.  There will be a lawsuit. None of that will bring him back. One thing could have saved his life–an emergency plan.

Do you have an emergency plan?  What if someone that you love is stranded because of a power outage, bizarre weather events, or the ravages of war?

Think it can’t happen?

Think again.

If you live in the United States of America, you should be prepared for, and expecting the impending crisis.

America has entered a time when its people expect more from its government than ever before, while America has a government that is less able to deliver than ever before.

The system is breaking.

If you expect to survive, YOU will have to take ownership and responsibility for yourself and your loved ones.

Start now–put together your emergency plan.

Here are some great places to start:

Preparedness Checklist

Don’t wait for others to help you–forget 911–prepare ahead of time so that you can help yourself–and others!

As usual, the news of the day is hyped beyond all recognition. Is swine flu akin to the deadly influenza pandemic of 1918 (Wikipedia: Spanish Flu)?

Or is it just another scare like the West Nile virus or the Avian Flu?

Shock journalism may have cried ‘pig’ one too many times. Hopefully ’swine flu’ will just be another flash in the pan, and there will be no full blown epidemic.

In the following YouTube video, Steven Harris presents a dark and frightening future–a future that started yesterday!

(Continued below…)

While his predictions may be overblown, he does remind us that static situations can change rapidly. Those that are most prepared are most likely to survive.

I have realized in making my preparations, I really haven’t positioned myself or my family to leave our safehaven (’the doomstead,’ as LATOCers call it).

We are going to work on that next…
