  2. I enjoyed this article.
    “Funny thing Hugh, is that when the Schumer hits the fan, I am not sure if J.P. would take much notice. He would probably just continue on …”

    That should be all of our’s objective. If we are reading this blog we are probably already living in actual reality. Love of God and family drive our actions. Love of country drive our decisions on where and how we live. We need to remain self aware and live within our means while paying respect to the old ways.

    My Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe lived in Orofino before Dworshak. They had chickens, a large vegetable garden and made their own beer. They were surrounded by family and friends. In the summer we lived outside. We did live day to day but without a 24 hour news cycle and plastic money we planned for tomorrow by putting in cord wood, canning vegetables and meat, maintaining the chicken coop etc. We wanted for nothing. The Lord does provide when we do our part.

    Thanks for the reminder.

  3. What a great story. I have found that real preparedness is more of a lifestyle than some sort of goal to achieve. living life with a relaxed attitude. You can because you have a garden and driving to town to grocery shop takes a whole day, and nothing beats canned veggies out of your garden. You cut wood for your wood stove because you like low energy bills. Hunt because it’s fun, fish because its relaxing ( and you cant beat the taste of smoked blue back) We walk to church, know everyone in our little town by name. We ride our ATV’s and side x sides without hassles. shoot our guns, help each other out when needed. Life is slower and more meaningful when you arent distracted with the day to day problems of living in densely populated cities.

  4. I would suggest that you get back in touch with J.P. if you have drifted apart. One of my great regrets is the number of smart people I didn’t have time to listen to in my youth. Now that I realize my mistake, they’re gone and I can’t learn from them.

  5. Yes. His initials were MHL. He was a WWII vet that dated my grandmother. When my dad went to Vietnam he took my mother and me in. When things didn’t work out between MHL and my grandmother, or between my mother and father, MHL stayed in my life and got me involved in Scouting and taught me what I needed to know growing up. He was big on moral values, standing by your word and believed heavily in “Be Prepared” although he was not a prepper. He even provided a college education for me after he had passed away. I considered that man my father and miss him every day. The lessons he taught me have been passed down to my own kids in one form or another. The lesson is – step into some kid’s life. You are more needed than you know.
