This is going to be a deeply personal post. I certainly have some apprehensions about posting it. As a kid, I always felt a bit different. Not that I was smarter than everyone else but I felt I was more “aware” of what was going on around me. At 52 years old I have been divorced and connected with someone that I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever is my soulmate – MainePrepperGirl. I was fired from a job I worked at a company for nearly 20 years and changed careers. I’ve moved several times going from South Carolina to Georgia, back to South Carolina and now we’re in Kentucky.
My lifelong dream has been to live independently and write. Write stories, books, articles, and be creative. I’ve enjoyed so much connecting with like-minded folks and gaining knowledge and providing advice that others could use to prepare for hard times ahead. I’ve written books, been featured IN books – and been 100% human and screwed up just as everyone else has.
Over the last 40 years, I’ve been driven by an unrelating feeling that “something” awaits us around the corner that will threaten our very existence. What awaits us is unknown and unpredictable. Regardless – I’ve prepared and called on others to do the same.
In 2022 we see just an absolute insane series of events unfolding. Inflation is affecting almost everyone as gas prices, food, and almost everything are going up in price. People are wondering how they will put gas in their vehicles AND put food in their children’s mouths. We have a superpower invading a small country and new viruses popping up to threaten our safety. Insanity walks into schools killing our children while politicians make decisions that will affect our lives based on polls rather than principles.
Born in Massachusets, moved all around the east coast – I now sit in Kentucky living full-time in a camper right along a river.
Life is unpredictable. What will happen tomorrow? Who knows?
I’ll be with MPG and we will adapt, overcome, and evolve however we need to.
Hope all of you will be there with me as well.
Take care all –
Rourke
So is MPG in Kentucky as well?
Yes she is.
Times are Changing. The MSM is trying to blame our Governor for the school shooting. When we implode, they will turn all the prisons out as no one will guard or feed them for free. I thought I would only have to worry about unprepared neighbors. I’m also tired of hearing about households with more than two guns and a thousand rounds of ammo. We’re not criminals, but willing to protect what we love and need!
Agree Methane. Those who report the news and further agendas are so disconnected from reality – it’s crazy.
John,
I’m glad to hear you and MPG are settling in. Sounds like a good place to drop anchor.
As far as feeling something is just around the corner, I’m sure a number of us feel the same thing. As I’ve mentioned before, I spend a lot of time reading. I recently purchased a book…”Christians will go thru the Tribulation…and how to prepare for it” by Jim McKeever. The first part of the book deals with why he feels this and he backs it up with the scriptures. The second part of the book deals with the Seven Seals and the plight of everyone here as Tribulation runs it’s course. The third part of the book deals with putting on the full armor of the Lord and why.
I’d recommend this book to anyone.
With this said, the events we are seeing today strengthens the message of the book. Go back about 2 or 3 years to a quote from Bill Gates. He stated there are too many people on the world and we need a big die off. Come to today. With the progressives pretty much in control, the progressives have been pretty successful in pushing the New Big Green Deal. Their goal is to shut down a fossil fuels….Biden is well on his way to doing this. His first 3 days in office he all but shut down any further drilling, shut down the Keystone pipe line, shut down any new drilling off shore as well as in the Alaskan wilderness. This triggered the horrendous price increase of fuels. If the diesel cannot be produced and if the farmers and truckers can’t afford and rail companies can’t buy it, all movement and production of food will suffer or cease. Meanwhile, the Fed/ our government, wants to minimize the movement of hard cash. They want to see us use electronic payments. Most recently, Biden and his wingnuts participated in the World Economic Forum, held in Davos, Switzerland, was in lock step with the rest of the globalists. Typical of the discussions ….”During another discussion, Norwegian finance CEO Kjerstin Braathen described global energy upheaval as a “transition” while admitting there will be mass shortages and economic hardship, but claiming the “pain” is “worth it.” Pain for who????? Of course Biden agreed. That is what is driving this nutcase. Trump had pulled the US out of all this.
At any rate, the Bible tells us the anti-Christ will control the world thru the economy by using the mark on each individual. I may be crazy but I think we are going to see all of this come forth in our life time, and I’m 76.
Thanks Oren. As always, you provide a great perspective and words of wisdom. We are in for a heck of a ride.
It has wound in on itself like an ouroboros, just more slowly than I expected. The direction is the same and clear…
Over 50 we can train, coach and teach and maybe be a firewall. I hope the younguns listen

I hope so as well GG58.
Dear Rourke- Thanks for sharing. I am very happy that you and MPG have one another especially during these very challenging times.If we each pray daily and prepare as fully as we can we will be given the grace to deal with whatever is coming. With hope and prayers for all of us in this fine prepping community. Arlene
Thank you Arlene.
My wife, who is a much more evolved human being than I tells me always that our bodies are just vessels which our souls inhabit, and when our journey here on Earth ends, the physical form surrenders, our soul moves on, not dying, just to inhabit another form. I don’t know. Such things are beyond my comprehension. To live and love those who share my beliefs and visions, and to reject that which is contrary to nature and God. Yes, I too feel a foreboding about the future, but I will not succumb to evil no matter the consequences, but I will fight for the decency of life with no fear in my heart. Love conquers evil and gives our souls sanctuary and peace. Life will prevail through our spirit and our actions. May you and MPG, and all the kindred people that inhabit our realm here live and love every day on this good Earth.
Thanks Ralph K – appreciate you sharing that.
Yes, I’m a person who has had that “feeling” all of my life. Even in my dreams as a child, I saved my siblings from things. (Godzilla, Nazis, tornados) I have been preparing since the 1970s but have never felt “it” happening until now.
Appreciate you commenting and sharing HerbieGrandma. I think it’s telling that you’ve not felt “it” until now. We all need to pay attention and get ready.
I guess I am not a “feeling” type person, rather, I go by what I know is happening. I do respect those like HerbieGrandma who have the gift of feeling. Like everyone is saying all indications say we are headed downhill quickly. Those in charge are determined to ruin the American way of life and they are doing it. I am very much in agreeance with Ralph K’s wife so I am not concerned about my future because I know what is promised. Until that time I will keep watch and protect my family as much as I can.
Appreciate it Fred. Agree – things are going downhill very fast.
John, I have had similar feelings for more years than I like to remember, I’m a little older than Oren and agree with him. Our pain is worth it to them as there will be more resources available for the chosen elitest.
Thanks JohnP. Appreciate the comment.
