Getting Prepared

I have been busy stocking up on canned goods lately. I have read alot of people are doing the same thing, and some store chains have had trouble keeping canned goods stocked. You look at gun and ammunition sales are way up. My dad grew up and went through the Great Depression of the 30s and he said you would have to defend your property,garden from people who are not prepared. When I was young I didnt believe him that this day might come but way things are looking Im thinking he might not been wrong.
I seen another blog on this subject and some of the comments were like the grasshopper and the ant making fun of people for stock piling food. Even if nothing comes of this your prepared for what ever comes along. Its a matter of time I feel before we get hammered with mega inflation as we have printed trillions of dollars and their value will go through the basement. I would rather much be prepared as being hungry and wishing I had. I stocked up on dried beans as many types of those as I can. I also bought every type of canned vegy the store carried. Some of these may be things we dont like to eat but if hard times come its better than having nothing to eat at all. Another thing that guns come in handy for not just protecting your self and bible as thats what we are clinging to if you ask our wonderful President Obama. In Iowa there is a abundance of deer and wild game to eat. Not to mention a person can go fishing and stock up a supply of some frozen fish for winter. If history has taught us anything it has a knack of repeating itself and back in the depression people was alot more prepared as many in the little towns and small cities had chickens and a old milk cow and big gardens alot of people dont have that anymore. My friends and me are planting a big garden and we plan on canning food from it. I know one thing it sure dont hurt to put back a few months supply worth of food.
