Who would have dreamed we'd be experiencing runaway prices masive job cuts, and even gas and food shortages as we have in the past several months?  Add to that the swine flu, earthquakes, tornadoes and other natural disasters.  We're now living in the hard times many have predicted for years, and according to numerous economic forecasters, things are only going to get worse.

What if we see major upheaval, such as we've never experienced?  Do you have a supply of long term storage food?  How about the means to have clean water?  Could you live without electricity after a storm or if your utilities were cut off?  Could you defend yourself and your family when it becomes necessary?
