Just wanted to expand a bit on the self defense.
1. Don't show weakness, even if you get hurt, try not to show it. ie: reacting
vocally (ouch, crying out, holding injured area), your just letting the aggressor know where to hit harder.
2. Don't get angry or show fear, either will lose the battle or paralyze you. Save the fear/emotion till after the situation is over. Cool heads prevail, anger will cause you to make rash or improper decisions.
3. Don't expect, even with years of training, to not get hurt. You punch somebody, particularly a bone or teeth not only will it hurt, but could expose you to infection, if you cut your knuckles and get blood/saliva on your cuts.If you get punched or kicked, it doesn't matter how well trained you are, it still hurts.You get thrown or fall on the ground or into a wall, yes it will hurt. Just don't expect a magic shield to protect you, but if you do get hurt, the trick is to not show or respond to it. That will just draw more attention to striking that area. Mrs. Prepper

How do you intend to protect yourself,your family and your property! I don't particularly have any problems with guns, knives,etc. Other than being worried about them being in the wrong hands( felons, minors, those who think they know how to use them, but don't). If for no other reason, than to learn self control, discipline and a sense of self worth, I believe everyone should learn some form of martial arts.
I started Tae Kwon Do, when I was 16 and received my 1st degree black belt when I was 18. I can't begin to describe the feeling you get, when you have the skills and knowledge to defend yourself. Now, I don't mean that as bragging in any way, shape or form. Big difference between being self confident and showing off. Over the years, living in another state, living life, injuries, I didn't test again until about 4 1/2 yrs ago, for my 2nd degree black belt. I am now 50 yrs old, so nobody is too old to get involved!
The point I'm trying to make, is you can't depend on someone else to save or help you, you need to be able to help yourself. A couple of examples, especially in our everyday modern lives: you just got off work(and this applies to men as well as women, think of the "knockout game" that's been so prevelant) and your walking across the parking lot to your car. You had a rough day and your just thinking about getting home, starting dinner, your scrolling thru your messages on you cell, when, BAM , someone --fill in the blank. That quick, you need to pay attention to your surroundings, anything else can wait. Bad guys look for inattentive people, you make it easy for them, as opposed to someone who is constantly looking around, is walking confidently. Check for vehicles parked close to your own, you don't want to get grabbed and thrown into their car. Look under your car, who remembers, years ago, when the "thing" happening was guys with box cutters, slicing the legs and feet of people from under their own car? I also don't mean, that you need to be a walking advertisement for someone on the verge of a nervous breakdown! Just think, be aware, look at people who are walking by, alongside or coming towards you. Usually your gut instinct will let you know if something seems off, if we take the time to listen. Be careful, Mrs. Prepper

Tonight I'm going to talk about a couple of things, which are also related some to the topic. It has to do with know thy neighbor and who will you help out when shtf. I know most people want to help others in need, myself included, but do you have enough food,water,medicine,etc for yourself and family and whoever else comes knocking or breaking down your door? That last is another issue, those who haven't prepared, who see or know what you have, that think they will take by force or other means, everything you had the foresight to stock up and store on your own. Can you or will you be willing to defend from possible marauders?If you have watched any of Nat Geo's Doomsday Preppers, recall that buffoon with the horde of like minded idiots with him, who blatantly stated they would come and take whatever you have, that they had no intention of stocking up themselves, they would just take yours.
Now that brings me to know thy neighbor. Makes sense to try to get to know who is around you, what they do,etc. Try to become friendly enough that at least you can try to bring awareness to them, see if they could be beneficial to co prepping. And if not, at least you'll know where potential trouble could come from.
I'm thinking I'll be doing a video soon, teaching some basic self defense. Possibly a giveaway in the near future, maybe when I can get around 100 , so please liked,share,follow and comment!! Mrs. Prepper

I swear I don't know where the time goes! I've wrote down several topics, so hopefully I can keep this rolling more regularly.
I want to talk a little more about bartering. What items or skills/knowledge you have or should procure for shtf.
First off, think about what you know. For example, I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. So I can teach self defense, which would be handy to know in any situation. Perhaps, your proficient in firearms. If you hunt, hopefully your pretty good and can teach gun skills. Do you sew or make things? There may come a day, when there are no stores to buy clothing from and we'll need to sew them from whatever is available.
For material goods, think about how much the average person/family has in their home,garage,closets,etc. If you "collect" things or just don't want to sell or giveaway, keep them in a plastic tote. Then if something happend and say you needed food or whatever, you can trade what you have in excess for something someone else has a bounty of. Maybe a farmer has a large surplus of veggies/fruit or meat, etc. But they don't have: baby items(extras you have from when your kids were little), tools,tarps, etc.
Now, I'm not saying we should all be hoarders, but if nothing else, when you dig out all this stuff and pack away in totes, at least you've cleaned up some and organized you living space! Mrs. Prepper
