2012, 2013 & 2014: What are People Doing to Prepare and Survive?
75
Things that People are Doing!
Whether it is out of fear, out of stress or out of concern, people are changing their thoughts and lives to what is going to happen in 2012 and 2013. Many people are fearful of an economic collapse and a solar storm could wipe out their savings and livelihood. There are many people who are trying to get out of debt, pay off their houses and securing their wealth. Still, there are others who are preparing for survival in the event of an economic breakdown, the complete collapse of the electrical grid or other disaster.
PEOPLE ARE CREATING BUG-OUT-BAGS AND GET-OUT-OF-DODGE EMERGENCY ESSENTIALS BAGS FOR EMERGENCIES: FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING TO HAVE IN THESE EMERGENCY BAGS:

When and if something comes down the pike, people do not want to be ill prepared and left out to dry with nothing. Most people have the will to survive and will go to great lengths to preserve their life and their livelihood of themselves and their families. Some of the people are still waiting in the background, waiting to see what will happen, saying that the government said to get prepared in 1999 and nothing happened. They are saying that the government is trying to scare them again, just like the Chicken Little saying that the sky is falling and it did not.
This time is not so simple and the government and scientist are not in charge of this one. The nature, the earth and the sun have their part. The sun is in a high point in 2012 and 2013 of solar activity, creating solar flares, sun spots and Electromagnetic Pulses. These give off immense energy and radiation and can burn out the electrical components on Earth, as well as the electrical grid.
Some people are already building underground bunkers, rock and block walls around their houses, stockpiling food and equipment and stockpiling ammunition and arms. Most believe that if anything happens, there will be civilian unrest and uncontrollable disorder.
Uncertain times calls for uncertain actions. There are people who have houses that they are selling just to eliminate the burden of uncertainty of the upcoming 2012 and 2013 problems. They figure that by selling ahead of the collapse, they will not lose the houses later. Certain other people are learning the basics of survival, hand to hand combat, how to survive in the wilderness and how to prepare and cook wild game.
Now, with this Christmas Season past, the purchased ammunition and firearms skyrocketed from previous years. The people are sensing a new feeling of insecurity and uneasiness. The rise of corruption, robberies and assaults are on the increase, but if any civilian unrest or disorder increases, there will be a need of some sort of protection. The bigger the population, the bigger the threat of violence that will happen, which means that in a big city, the upheaval will be greater and more wide spread.
The experts in the field of survival suggest many things and devices, ranging from pepper spray, shock guns, knives, pistols, shot guns and the list goes on and on. The suggestion for most is to get out of any big city before anything happens, for once the violence begins, it will be very hard to escape. The large cities only have enough food, water and supplies for 3 days and once this runs out, everyone will be in the survival mode.
Now just what are people preparing for? They are preparing for the unknown. Many people just feel the presence of something that they can not explain, like some evil presence in the dark corner of some alley way. They just know that it is there, it is watching them and is ready to pounce on them as they go down the dark, creepy and lonely alley of life.
To prepare for something that they do not know, how do they prepare? The people are looking to what life substances are needed. These include water, food, shelter, clothing, and protection. The most important of these is clean, clear, drinkable water. Plain and simple, without water, we die! In the very cold regions, without shelter and clothing, we freeze to death, so there are certain areas of the world that people may need more of less of certain survival items or substances.
With the monetary system collapse or a complete electrical power grid collapse, how would one make the best of things? From the point, go, to the point of reconstruction, it would be a tough route to follow. Our infrastructure took a long time to build and maintain, so any interruption in this would mean years to reconstruct. If our communication and electrical grid would go at the same time would mean total disintegration of the control of government, media, manufacturing and the monetary system. This would mean total chaos.
Until some order could be achieved, violence, murder and chaos would be rampant. In some small towns and villages, times would revert to the pre-electrical period, where everything was done by draft animal or by human hands. The problem, also here, would be those that would come out of the large cities, looking for a handout, food and clothing, which would also be in short supply. Horses would replace the machines for a while, until the infrastructure could be established, electricity could be reconnected and pipelines started up again. The disruption of electricity, fuel and basic needs to feed, clothe and supply over 7 million people would cost dearly in the time that it would take to re-establish.
OK, what do people believe and preparing for? Stated Before, the unknown, but feeling deep, down inside of something, ready to happen, ready to reach out and grab them, feeling!
This may be another sky is falling tale, but why is the government also planning and building underground bunkers, tunnels and end of time places to hide? Weird that our elected officials will be safe and sound, with all the accommodations of home, in a well secured underground bunker, while the rest of humanity would fight for their lives above the chaos, violence and murder, if anything at all goes hay-wire, like a total melt down of the grid, economic system or a nuclear war.
Just a thought, but does anyone else have a feeling, like these people, of impending doom, of something that is out there, coming, but just can not put your finger on just what it is?

LWright: Awesome,Interesting and Useful Hub - UP. First I learned of this. One line in UTube: 'They want people to survive that have a certain kind of perceptive skill.' What about Black Holes, Flying Space Junk as well as the total melt down of the Electrical Grids? Without electricity there is no world as we know it - that is the reason for finding and implementing new sources of energy and changing light bulbs as well - (simple stuff). There is a website - www.survivalacres.com that has everything available for purchase in case of 'what if'. Personally, I wouldn't want to live beneath the sea floor in a manmade city below an airport. It's low. Great Hub.
This was an extremely interesting and informative hub. There is no way for people to know what is coming, but there never has been! Yes, things have changed due to changes in nature, etc., but I strongly doubt things will go to such extremes as you describe here. We can't spend our lives living in fear of such events. Things are stressful enough in the world without having to worry about disastrous events. The truth is that there really is no way to protect oneself over the long run, so we might as well just go on as before and hope that we can avoid all of the problems you mentioned here. Thanks for this one, it was very interesting.
Good point! I voted yes in all of your polls except the last one, because you won't be able to hold politicians accountable for anything because they will all be hiding their tales somewhere in a gated fortress in the hills.
A good hub for raising awareness. However, I do believe your most significant statement was "preparing for the unknown" - that's exactly what it is: unknown.
Much of these discoveries are now scientific fact and it seems there is some truth to the conspiracy theories (as always) but I do think that this is just mainly precaution in the case of the worst scenario developing.
Coincidentally, the Defense Committee have just warned the UK's MoD to get the UK's protection against EMP attacks from space and solar flares into place - the MoD didn't take it seriously.

There needs to be more of these types of articles practical solutions for those that have already awoken to the truth!
good Hub
