Would you be prepared? Are you prepared?

Choosing to be more prepared every day is a skill. One that should be honed. Focusing on growing just a little everyday will allow us all to be prepared to respond well and recover faster.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments about prepping, so please reach out and share as you can.

Until next time... this is monk signing off... better be prepared

In this week’s episode, I have the highest privilege of interviewing my dad, Brooks Marshall. This is the second episode of the total of 2. What we did is we sat down with a couple of Mics and just talked... For hours. With so much great info we decided to put it into two episodes. The first was released mid-January.

Now, If you ever get the chance to do this with your own parents, one-on-one, take it! It may surprise you what you learn. And you never know when they might not be there at all.

Some of the items discussed in this episode...

Being prepared and NOT being prepared.

How to deal with skunks (the animal kind and the human kind).

We talk drones and being happy with where you live.

And we finish up with some very special Parting Shots!

Hope you enjoy it.

STORYTIME: Out Of Fuel GXT-STORY-EP03

Out of Gas Book – by Randy Dyess

Define the Consumer Price Index

Current Consumer Price Index

Historical Consumer Price Index

https://www.bls.gov/regions/mid-atlantic/data/consumerpriceindexhistorical_us_table.htm

In the most recent GenXTalkin:Storytime, Ed and Matt review an interesting story and scenario involving a couple who’ve recognized a very difficult event occurring, the lack of fuel. We would technically refer to this as more of a Hi Impact, Low Frequency type of event. But the effects of such an event could be significant to just about everyone throughout the country and possibly the world.

The US economy revolves around the concept of Cheap Oil prices so that business can be done. Airlines, trucking, electric trains, a cities infrastructure, heat, and of course our vehicles, would all be affected. And these could potentially cascade into more significant losses of jobs, access to food and medicine.

Although this is just fiction, it does show a need for the general populace to emphasize preparedness in their day to day lives. We hope it helps to understand how lived could be affected. Enjoy.
