Been following this closely for a while now - be interesting to see what comes of this!!! I may have to send them all a letter asking them to refrain from shooting till after my SE Asia holiday Sept/Oct!!!!! Hahah Jay. I would be feeling the same. My mother heads back to Bali in September. I'm sure they will understand your request

I've seen people get fired from their jobs for how they act online. I guess I kind of grew up with the internet growing as well and have experienced lots of young people including myself making mistakes online. Also some things are read out of context. I once posted a Facebook status about how I was so nervous about an exam the next day in high school and being an over extreme teenager probably added some things at the end I shouldn't of which resulted in my Aunty ringing my mother thinking I was going to kill myself! Of course none of my friends read this and thought I was in harm. But some people read things out of context and I do now make sure to be careful how I word things since once something is online it's there forever.

I'm prepping for most of the same reasons as Peter. The everyday and the catastrophe. I would add coastal flooding/rising oceans to the list, but otherwise he has summed it up nicely. I think I've read too many books and watched too many movies to not do something...for my family's sake. Some of my favorites: Kim Stanley Robinson's 40 days of Rain trilogy Susan Beth Pfeffer's Life as we Knew it series Gary Paulsen's Hatchet series Laura Ingalls Wilder The Long Winter Day After Tomorrow Ahhhhh glad to find another Susan Beth pfeffer fan!! Her life as we knew it books are my favourites. Also made my mum read those haha. Another good one is The Ashfall Triology by Mike Mullin. A little more teenager style but just as intense as life as we know it. About the yellow stone volcano going off in the USA.

Great responses! I totally feel you rem about the job losses and natural disasters. Always good to know you don't have to rush into the shops with the crowds when disaster strikes again. And I also worry for those things Peter. Economic collapse, cyber terrorists and pandemics are things I think about all the time. Especially with the overuse of antibiotics these days.

When I find myself googling other prepping websites from around the world or just watching something disaster related on TV. it makes me think about how so many different situations could cause "the end of the world as we know it". So I'd love to know what everyone is preparing for. I'm still in the early stages and what I have stored would only last my self and my boyfriend + my parents a few days at most. But I'm still growing/learning!
So, what are you preparing yourself for?
