hand crank emergency radio

Am I being paranoid about this survival thing?
I just read the first few chapter of Stirling’s Dies the Fire (the economic and social infrastructure collapses.) I ordered water purification tablets, emergency blankets, and a hand cranked radio/flashlight. Also emergency food bars.
I did not spend a ton of money, and I have the money to spend.
Have I gone paranoid nuts? In a way, I hope I have…
~lol~ It’s a great series, isn’t it? I really like Stirling’s books. I think there are about six books or so in that particular series, with another one coming this year.
However if you stop and think about it, that particular series is not very realistic.
Guns, and combustion engines “suddenly” for some mystical reason stop working? Hmmm. Still, I have very much enjoyed reading the books.
I could tell you a few books that would REALLY make you paranoid, but I’ll be kind, and not do that.
However, I will state that being prepared for emergencies is NEVER a bad thing. We have about two years worth of food storage, and all kinds of emergency supplies.
The current ecconomic situation is a very bad thing. So are things like UG99 (bet you don’t even know what that is).
You need to get some books, and join some good groups on food storage, and preparedness if you really want to head down that road. Otherwise as a newbie you will waste money, and buy things that will potentially be useless and end up harming or killing you if you are trying to depend on them.
I’m in my 40’s. I’ve long thought, and long said that in my lifetime I will see World War III, a world pandemic, and famine in first world countries (with people actually starving to death).
Lots of people choose to poo-poo that idea. But what if I’m right, and they are wrong? Would they rather have their Hummer, and vacation cruze memories, or the food storage I have?
