Good morning all,

It's a good essay / article re parparing to address fear in current times.

Author leads off with FDR's famous statement on fear.

Do reflect on "fear" and the "phobias".

My cultural background is somewhat different than discribed re the mouse example. I add a fear aspect if seeing a mouse in the shack. The fear is the spread of germs/disease by Mickey or Minnie until I arrange for birds' buffet dining. Other related "fear" is financial. I use a Prepper philosophy of realistic, worst-case scenerios and a mouse can be a financial burden just to get rid of the creature.

Ref - anxiety - "in the midst of disaster";

I always deal in lower / lowest common denominators. I expect there will be no electricity. I expect that there will be no safe travel by vehicle even presuming vehicle can get to public road. I expect no personal safety unless relying on pre-arranged programs.

Convert the disaster into something than be be approached by efforts. The worst disaster is not being prepared.

 

for whatever reason in the last 2 years or so i have developed a mild case of claustrophobia don't know why but there it is...

i also hate being surprised/caught off guard...which as a prepper totally wears me out trying to think of all contingencnies...

spiders, bees and snake give me the willies so i go after them with a vengence unknown to mankind...
