Doomsday Preppers

I thought someone might find this interesting 

It was pretty cool how all these people got off the grid, but I wouldn't even know where to begin how to do that stuff...

I just hope they have Jesus Christ

Remote Alaska to stockpile food, just in case

8/29/12

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska is known for pioneering, self-reliant residents who are accustomed to remote locations and harsh weather. Despite that, Gov. Sean Parnell worries a major earthquake or volcanic eruption could leave the state's 720,000 residents stranded and cut off from food and supply lines. His answer: Build giant warehouses full of emergency food and supplies, just in case.

For some in the lower 48, it may seem like an extreme step. But Parnell says this is just Alaska.

In many ways, the state is no different than the rest of America. Most people buy their groceries at stores, and rely on a central grid for power and heat. But, unlike the rest of the lower 48, help isn't a few miles away. When a fall storm cut off Nome from its final fuel supply last winter, a Russian tanker spent weeks breaking through thick ice to reach the remote town.

Weather isn't the only thing that can wreak havoc in Alaska, where small planes are a preferred mode of transportation and the drive from Seattle to Juneau requires a ferry ride and 38 hours in a car. The state's worst natural disaster was in 1964, when a magnitude-9.2 earthquake and resulting tsunami killed 131 people and disrupted electrical systems, water mains and communication lines in Anchorage and other cities.

Alaska can handle a lot of people, but I'm not sure it could handle 800k people trying to feed off the land. Storing food could work there due to the cold temps. But then the world has no faith, so of course they think they must stash stuff aside in case something happens! Oh it's going to happen all right. They first need to focus on saving their souls.
