So Long, Farewell

Since the end of the year is approaching I am well aware that many people will never read this or any of the other student blogs again. However, I hope that people have learned something from my blog, rather than just reading to make a grade. Many of the subjects I have written about have been very serious, and some joking. However, all joking aside, survival is no joke. While some may not care or think that what preppers write and say are stupid, they are the ones who will be helpless in the situations they so calmly put out of mind. While I may not update this blog much after today, I will still read any comments anyone should care to post, and I would love to keep in touch with anyone who has decided to at least think about prepping. As I have said several times before, preppers hope to high heaven that they are crazy. But on the off chance they aren't off their rocker? Better prepared and crazy than normal and not.

College Preparation

It is the time of year when high school seniors are preparing to graduate. As I have been working my way towards graduation, I have been thinking a lot about college. I won't bore you with the details, because most of the thoughts align with what every other senior is thinking. However, there is a portion of my thoughts that I believe few others preparing for college have considered. Generally it concerns a disaster or major event scenario that leaves me unable to contact my family. Also, since I will be living in a dorm, there is far less space to store any sort of provisions or material that would be useful in such a situation. I most definitely will have a minimum or a bug-out bag, and hopefully I can manage a bit more. I checked, and fortunately the college I am attending allow knives, as long as they are under 4 inches. This is wonderful, because a knife can perform so many vital functions. I won't blather on any more about knives, since I have already written a previous post concerning them (please look back and read it if you have not already). Anyways, I wanted to share my concerns, and I wondered if others had similar thoughts? Please comment if so.
