Looks like a cool site. I tried to join, but it didn’t go through.
A knife/multitool section would be a nice addition.
… prepared for imaginary threat never come. Have fun 
So, you’re saying that the earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, power outages, loss of employment, and other emergencies I’ve actually experienced were all just my imagination? Truly, your intellect is dizzying.
Emergencies are a constant part of life, try living in California or the Gulf coast, or getting snowed in for a week or two in the Midwest, or Alaska, Florida, or being self employed and hitting a bad stretch.
Even car preparedness is important.
Living in USA seems to be hopeless than. Sad to hear that.
No earthquakes, hurricanes, floods here. Not bad economy, I don’t remember power outage longer than 30 min.
Just curious how you prepare for loss of employment? Collect food stamps, blackmail your boss, marry rich or…?

Why try to kill this thread on preparedness?
Put money aside obviously.
Being self employed my preparedness stock kept me going when work was slow or I was sick or injured and couldn’t accept work, mostly it was good for those very long slow periods where any money made went to other bills, at least my food was already bought and paid for.
Thank you sir
Thank you sir
Your account is active. And that was a great idea for a blade forum so it has been added as a sub-forum under the Top Gear section.

I don’t think your being particularly honest. Although Poland does have a low incident of earthquakes, various parts of Poland have had six just in the last year. Additionally, Poland has a vast history of warfare. Poland can and does have harsh winters with snow in many parts, usually from November till March. Add to that regular storms and about 16% of the total forest fires in Europe. People get flat tires and they have their homes broken into.
Any and all of these things are topics of discussion on the SEP board i.e being prepared to avoid or mitigate an emergency situation though personal preparedness. Could be as simple as carrying a spare tire and a pair of sneakers in the trunk to tossing a mylar space blanket in the glove compartment.
If you don’t think common sense personal preparedness is a good thing, or of interest to many people then I don’t really understand why your posting in this thread?
My dad helped free Poland from the Germans, I helped free Poland from the Russians, Poland does seem to have disasters even above nature and weather, plus, I hear that history isn’t over, which is a part of preparedness.
You said that much nicer than I would have. Well done sir.
My next door neighbor is a well known polish fella. He’s close to a definition of what a prepper is, and he’s happy to be living in the states where he feels much more secure after having personally worked with the USA to free Poland from the USSR.
For myself, I woke up the other day in the early hours not long after midnight, The power was off everywhere and a strange stillness was in effect. I thought to myself: ” you dumb mother fu**er, the US Dept of Homeland security announced just a few months back that all US citizens should prepare for 2 to 6 months with no power. At the time, it didn’t make headlines and didn’t cause a stir but I reflected that I’d suspected that they had actual evidence of a huge issue about to hit the country. Yet I did nothing more or specific to this cautionary tale (I’m close to fully prepped, more than 95% more than my fellow citizens anyway). I was later relieved to learn that a drunk had smacked a power pole and the whole area was out. Whew. But yet this issue and the DHS warning remains in the background:
I suppose we all can’t live in a stable country like Poland that has no threats or potential issues.
Thank you sir.
On it; great site.
This looks like a nice forum. I am gonna check what they have under first aid. First topic: essential oils.
Me: 
You’d be surprised at how useful essential oils can be
