I have to be careful here as John Dinardo has written a post with this in mind however this subject is one that a few lines will not suffice to do justice to it.
It is something i have given a lot of thought to, for a long time, not too deeply but have born it in mind . For myself I am in the position of the lone male with few if any attachments and can quite easily take to the open road if all hell broke loose in the planet X scenario. Others have options quite a lot different . Families, ill health, old age etc.However, i hope to bring up some ideas as for food, shelter, wind protection etc etc for all of us as we will need them at some time.. There may one or two errors, , please correct any I make. Beside being a worthwhile exercise for myself, I hope it will encourage others to think about this and at least have a bases for self protection when events get serious.
I have said elsewhere that the first and foremast preparation is spiritual preparedness. I cannot overemphasize this enough. Start here the keep going.I am not going into religion as I have none, save life itself which is sanctified enough and we need no more than that.
So assuming this base is covered, what then. The basis of all life is water, I have said elsewhere about making a water filter using charcoal and sand and gravel. The first thing we must do is have at least one maybe several water butts connected to the drain spouts of our home and any outbuildings as they do in Australia and the water is quite drinkable believe me.. They store water in huge vessels connected to most country homes, if you can afford it think about this.They are several hundred gallon capacity. It is clean fresh and tastes great.
However we are thinking here about a cataclysm where not only volcanic ash and such but possibly debris and chemicals from outer space. Plus there may be a lot of pathogens in the air and mold which is why for me this water we collect is not guaranteed to be readily drinkable. It may need filtering and purifying using bleach, plain sodium hypochlorate will do, or similar. Just a few drops per liter then let the water stand so the chlorine can evaporate.
One person today on coast to coast says we should store water in smaller bottles as the opening of any one will introduce bacteria , this makes no sense to me so long as we add a few drops of bleach or similar every time and allow the chlorine to evaporate. It is a matter of choice and what is available.also he says store it in a dark place which makes no sense to me as sunlight will help sterilize it in about six hours. These must be thought about.
this blog sums up my own increasing understanding of getting prepared.

there are two possible answers I would use here, Jim. one, why not place over the fibreglass shingles some zinc plated or aluminum corrugated sheets. another possible way is to coat the shingles with some bitumen paint , which may be safe for drinking water collection. the last may be the cheapest method. if you do place metal sheets over the top make sure for heavens sake they are either glued to the existent sheets or fastened down somehow.
Keep in mind that if you have fiberglass shingels, you might want to think about finding a different way of collecting water. You could actualy stretch out a bed sheet stake it up like a sail to colect water at night.
this makes sense. I have been talking to John Dinardo tonight on this point, all three of us are in full agreement here. get yourself sorted out first get rid of fear, find the god within, and stay there!!! keep the focus all the time once you lose that inwardness, your mind opens up to all sorts of distraction and is subject to the illusion called maya. we lose our identity that is., become trapped in the lower worlds, as most people are.
this is why prayer, meditation and a dammed good psychic cleansing are to be recommended
I will say this though. if these earthchanges are real and come very soon it may be more of a forced psychic cleansing whether the majority are ready for it or not. ouch!!!!
As to spiritual preparedness, many Marian/Jesus visionaries have been saying this for years to put spiritual preparedness at the forefront over physical. With all the messages I have read, it is amazing that these messages have said these things to prepare 1. spiritually 2. physically for approximately 30+ years (to prepare for the time of tribulation).
