day late
money? whats that?
One of my preps, believe it or not, is a go-kart. It doesn't go to fast, (Max. speed is about 20 M.P.H.) and it doesn't go far or fast, but it goes faster than a man can run. It allows me to carry a passenger and a small amount of cargo. OR I can carry a lot more cargo and no passenger. If and when an E.M.P. weapon goes off, my go-kart will still run while everyone else is walking because their high tech fancy new cars don't work. The E.M.P. wiped out their electronics. The go-kart doesn't have computer chips that can be fried that a car does. The point here is that my go-kart sat neglected for several years. Recently I have gotten back to the beast and found my neglect had caused a number of problems. The floor boards had rusted out and had to be replaced, the carburetor needed work, the tires had dry rotted over the years and had to be replaced. In short because of my neglect if I had to depend on this thing to get me out of a situation it couldn't do it, BECAUSE OF MY NEGLECT!!!
So everyone check your preps. DO NOT assume that they will function the way they did when you put them away. You get dead making those kind of assumptions. Time passes, things get old, materials go bad. This is a fact of life. If I had to bug out before this and needed the go-kart I would have been left high, dry and in a world of hurt because I didn't keep an eye on my preps.
FWIW, I have begun repairs to my neglect, the go-kart is now running again but I still need to replace the fuel line. That is the project for tomorrow A.M. It's raining here this afternoon. CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK your preps. Your life WILL depend on it.
FOLKS, it isn't enough to have "stuff". Time passes, things change. CHECK your preps often and thoroughly before they turn around and bite you in the butt
