What if you went into town to the grocery store and the shelves were bare?  Most grocery stores have about 3-6 days worth of inventory-- what would you do if they weren't there? Are you prepared?

I have touched on this topic before . . . I am not talking about "The End of the World as We Know it" (EOTWAWKI), but I am talking about a serious disruption.  Hogwash, you say?  What kind of disruption?

• Terrorist attacks
• Natural disasters 
• Medical emergencies
• Strikes, boycotts, or embargoes
• Rationing or restrictions

I think you get the idea . . .

So, what would you do? Raid the:

• Frig
• Freezer
• Pantry

Then what? Do you:

• Have a garden?
• Fish?
• Hunt?
• Have canned goods?
• Have long-term stores and provisions?

Have you even considered the possibility?  Do you have a plan?  Perhaps you should start thinking about self reliance and self sufficiency-- even in a small way.
