No! This is NOT about holing yourself up in a bunker with a year's supply of food and water and a shotgun. Just a few years back, Hurricane Sandy struck all the way to Northeast U.S. Below is a picture of folks in Staten Island, NYC. The image has been in my files for a while and I do not remember where I got it from.
People did not know what to do for daily survival. I was in Northern Maryland, at the time. Being a prepper, I was... well... prepared. I did not have hundreds of gallons of water stocked. I had a substantial amount of food in my organic garden, along with a bio-sand water filter that costs me nothing to make and a little rocket stove. I am not exactly the handiest individual, so if I can make them just about anyone can.
My interest in Steemit is for Steem being another cryptocurrency. Businesses who accept cryptocurrencies in commercial transactions are growing. Skilled use in cryptocurrencies can break a chain of traceability. One does not have to be off the grid to appreciate this. Of course, if one is off the grid, he/she has a stash of toilet paper.
