At the Pond!
Yesterday I recieved some good news and it had nothing to do with me! I had joined a group called "Americans Networking To Survive or A.N.T.S." which is a group of preppers who are volunteering to assist other preppers in an emergency or disaster. The organization was formed because preppers are always in an outreach mindset and ready to help other preppers, who through no fault of their own, are in need. Yes, they could help everyone else too if they are able, but that is not the point in my opinion. FEMA and local governments help everyone already with our money, but you will not normally see preppers in the bread line. Bacause they have spent their own time and money to stockpile, prepare, and survive. But what if you are many miles from home and the Sun pops an EMP and their car dies, everyone's car dies! Who will help them now? History has shown countless time that no one will help them, millions of people are going to die hard and fast. But if they knew that a colony of ANTS was in the area they could walk to a known location and leave a message asking for help. The colony checks the message drop and sents out ANT members to bring their fellow ANTS home. It may even be possible for a type of underground railroad to assist these people in getting to their own retreat location.
When a massive EF5 tornado struck Moore, OK., there were two ANTS known to be living there. So started a story of courage and determination as other members used everything available from outside the disaster to locate them. One missing ANT later checked in as ok and they in turn started searching for the other one. Dropping by the message drop location, asking around, and doing everything they could do in this terrible aftermath of destruction. Finally messages were left with family and friends and the missing member finally checked in, alive and safe!! Thank God, everyone's prayers were answered.
We sometimes forget that life can pull the ground from under for feet and literally leave you hanging by your fingertips. Moore, OK was just such a time and it was through hard work, giving of themaselves for others, that this time there ws cause for rejoycing. And knowning now that if some disastewr happens to our part of the country, that others will automatically begin to do a health and welfare check until all resources available have been tried.
