Prepping & Survivalism, one leads to

Prepping: the
action of preparing, making preparations for any possible catastrophe or
emergency, be it natural disaster or not, even personal financial
disaster. Preppers stockpile food, water, ammunition, and other
supplies, while educating themselves on how to live and prosper without
the conveniences to which they are accustomed. |

Survival skills and prepping are important for
you and your loved ones, and also your community. Preppers are smart.
Non-survivalists tease preppers about tin foil hats, but prepping is no
joke. In 2016 the area where I live was devastated by a surprise flood.
Multiple parishes (counties to most of you) were inundated with water.
John and I live on a little hill and our home didn't flood, but less
than a half mile away all of our neighbors' homes were engulfed in water.
Our home lost power and our phone service literally went under, too. We
couldn't call or text on them, nor could we access the Internet. It felt
like we were living in my novel, Superflare: The
Fortunate Ones. There was no way to get any news about what had
happened, as we couldn't see the floodwaters, and we were limited to
face-to-face communication. Still, we were able to take in people who
were rescued from their homes by boats and a dump truck, and we were
able to feed them and provide them with clean water to drink. That, my
friend, is what prepping is all about! |

Be sure to read my novel
Superflare: The Fortunate Ones. An end of the world as we know it
story, it's a well-researched fictional account of one rural family and
their fight to survive after EMP-like devastation hits. It walks you
through a long-term grid-down situation and will help you comprehend
what that would be like. It'll also help any naysaying loved ones to
understand why it's so important to be a prepared. The novel is highly
rated and selling well. |

Here's the review written by noted survivalist
and off-grid living expert, Mr. Raymond Jones. Having lived off of the
grid in Montana for years, he's the real deal. He appreciated
Superflare: The Fortunate Ones so much he has
started joining me for panel discussions about prepping, survivalism,
and my novel. |

"Ms. Calhoun's character development is one of
the best I have read. I really like the realistic way she portrays the
family and developments. Unlike most "end of the world as we know it"
books the family protects each other with weapons we would normally have
in a farming home. It is not full of fully automatic weapons and RPG's,
with killing from one end to the other. It is a book that covers being
prepared when a disaster hits, no matter what kind. I highly recommend
this book to anyone that likes getting back to the old ways and who
loves their family. We never know how long we have till something like
this happens, so get prepared." - Raymond Jones, survival, prepping,
off-grid living expert |
