[sssarawolf]

Watchful here, that's for sure. The stupidity and ignorance out there is just mind boggling. It's like watching a bunch of crazed lemmings.

 

[Blacknarwhal]

Now pulling back to "watchful." Things will continue to be unsettled, though at a now-familiar level of unsettled, through November as things sit.

 

[adgal]

I voted glued to the screen. I feel like the threats are coming from all different directions. Economy, China, pandemic, politics, grand solar minimum, Antifa, - every day there seems to be one more thing to be concerned about.

 

[Dozdoats]

More concerned than ever. Ever.

 

[Michiana MaJo]

I keep reading about the real possibility of a second lockdown, ahead.
Very concerned, and now, with coins in trouble, see where we are headed for a cashless society....being watched with every transaction.

From things I've read, I feel sure our pensions will end with the coming financial collapse, and probably even SS. I keep remembering Daniel Estulin, in his recent webinar, warned to watch out for September....things will start to fall apart, and he warned about bank closures.

 

[SouthernBreeze]

Glued to the screen with one foot in my bunker.

 

[The Cub]

Not sure how the avgs are computed....sorry, not interested in doing the math myself....

but

My take: It is time to make the FINAL top offs of our preps.

I look to head to the Refuge this Fall:

[Granana]

I decided awhile ago to "panic early and avoid the rush". Voted glued to screen.

 

[Deena in GA]

Glued to the screen with one foot in my bunker.

This! I've never been this concerned before.

 

[Jeff B.]

This! I've never been this concerned before.

I too have never been this concerned. I've been interrogated by our HR Team and will be required to undergo re-education (training) due to some things I said which were not in accordance with the current fads. Despite that, I see this as something that going to march along at a steady pace of erosion. I don't know what will trigger the conflict that I feel is inevitable, but I don't thing that's imminent.

Check your stuff, look at others comments and learn from them... Close your gaps and get to the areas of things you've neglected. It'll happen, just not as quickly and widespread as some expect.

Jeff B.

 

[Terrwyn]

I'm worried about so many things I lost track. I dont remember a time when so many things were wrong. I'm not alone in this either. It's complete and utter chaos going on. Something broke and not working everywhere from equipment to food delivery to shortages. Cant even put it in words because all my mouth wants to spout is WTF, ?. And those are just the small worries. I also have the big worries about my leg and DH not getting his cancer checkup and not being able to get along without me and on and on ad infinitum.

 

[hiwall]

I voted glued but I really am not. But I think I know what is coming or at least I know something very bad is coming. I can't stop it so I am just expanding our preps as often as I can. I'm not really glued because I don't think something will happen overnight. Just a steady decline and then chaos.

 

[coloradohermit]

I'm right on the verge of glued to the screen, but not quite there yet. Almost.

 

[Marseydoats]

What Southern Breeze said. I'm still trying to stock up, but don't know how much longer we've got. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my pension before I even get it.

 

[abby normal]

This.

The clouds are swirling and the mother of all storms is coming. Except instead of just a bad hurricane, earthquake, or blizzard it's a combination of all 3.

I worry most about my kids, and elderly parents 4 hours away.

What sustains me is the anticipation of seeing God going all Old Testament and witnessing miracles, because He has some long overdue payback to dish out.

 

[WalknTrot]

#3 as always.

 

[Raggedyman]

I've never been here - but I'm now up to the "GLUED" level and expecting things to reach critical mass prior to end July in terms of open warfare on an intermittent basis in select blue shitties from sea to shining sea.

we've ALLOWED this to happen people - we've sanctioned it by choosing to ignore it and tolerate it for as long as we did. kind of like knowing your neighbors fence was over the line by 50 feet but not getting it corrected - because you didn't want to "start anything" . . . well now we're STUCK with it and it needs to be cleaned up. its never going to be easier or cheaper or lest distasteful than it is RFN

RM out - going back to loading magazines . . .

 

[hiwall]

As always.....
Thanks for doing these polls, Topusaret

 

[ryken]

Watchful, ready, and checking preps. I've kinda slacked off a bit on preps, but getting back up to speed. I feel something else is coming. With what is happening in our country (makes me sick!), the hate, disregard for life or property, and everything else....I feel we haven't seen the worst yet.

 

[Sacajawea]

I've wavered between 2 and 3 the past few polls. But I'm definitely glued at this point. I feel a definitely critical mass building to a near-term inflection point. Or explosion. Take your pick. No one knows much of anything for sure, but now opinions are "fighting words"...

Good thing I had to grow up quick & tough, is all I can say at this point.

 

[lauri60]

Keeping a close eye on everything. Continue to stock up as finances allow. Not sure if we will see a complete implosion of our society or the Rapture first. Prepared as I can be for either. Prayer list seems to increase daily.

 

[Dennis Olson]

At this point, I expect the boogaloo to break out in full at any moment, and without warning. I wish that weren't so.

 

[Pinecone]

For the first time ever, I voted glued to the screen. 2020 is not over.

 

[Faroe]

Voted #3.
Unless I missed something, been a bit quiet for the last few days.
Waiting for Three Gorges to crumble, but that's about all. Maybe the dam will hold.

Really BAD stuff on the way, but ...shrug. It'll get here when it gets here.

 

[Deena in GA]

Bump

 

[Pinecone]

Bump

 

[Loretta Van Riet]

Checking my preps as I watch... different strains of Covid and racial tension. Not good.

 

[DazedandConfused]

Got a bad vib for this weekend. Meeting up with my MAG to run thru last min stuff. playing on the range from 10 yards out to 3000 yards .
Then home clean the toys and top off the mags. set back and enjoy life best that I can.

From July 4th on I think things are going to get sporty.

 

[jed turtle]

I decided awhile ago to "panic early and avoid the rush". Voted glued to screen.

I panicked so early this is now just the new normal. Just “watching, prepping” now. I pay more attention to the garden than ever before though...

 

[FMJ]

None of the news is good, probably not even factual so I am definitely not glued to the screen. We topped off preps aggressively two months ago and now I too, am working to de-stress in the garden.
”By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”

 

[oleglass]

Glued to the screen, DW is just sure something is going to explode any time now. Still topping off preps, garden is coming in, busy putting veggies up.

 

[Topusaret]

After just over 24 hours, the poll stands at 2.34. Remember, only 24 hours remain on this poll to vote and comment.

 

[hiwall]

24 hours and only 152 votes.

 

[ginnie6]

ok at first I answered watchful and ready, its been a couple hours now though and I'm freaked and ready to hide in my bunker! DD's work just got shut down for a covid case and she has to go get tested. I'm just done y'all....done!

 

[jazzy]

sending you a germ free hug and praying for you and your DD.

 

[mecoastie]

Voted glued to the screen. This is the highest I have ever been ratcheted up. Good thing is I am getting a lot of little things done.

 

[Theophilus]

Watching, high alert, prepping and wary. Headed to Costco first thing tomorrow morning -- hope to get there ahead of the Friday crowd.

Have serviced the generator, rotated supplies, will fill gas tanks in the morning.

So....trying to think of what is needed.

And, prayerfully thinking and considering how God is using this time to prepare those who seek His guidance.

 

[Topusaret]

Almost 36 hours in, and the poll stands at 2.31. Just a gentle reminder that the poll will close in 12 1/2 hours.

 

[annieosage]

For the first time in 16 years I've been here, I chose glued to the screen, expecting the worst any day now

I have one major prep to buy and I hope it's not too late. I am supposed to pickup the check for my van tomorrow and I need that to pay for it. I watched the whole video from that Pastor about what's coming later in the year and I believe him. I had 2 dreams many years ago that had some similarities. No year or calendar in my dreams but other things similar. Also, the part about gargoyle types coming for people. That sounds eerily like the prophecy of the 3 days of darkness.
