A recent news story about a Dutch family provides a cautionary tale for preppers. For nine years, a man and his young adult children had been waiting for the end of times. They grew vegetables and raised livestock to live self-sufficiently, but lived in complete isolation from the outside world. Tired of the lifestyle, one of the children escaped to a local pub. The authorities were called in and discovered that none of the kids had been to school. The story is a reminder that it’s great to be prepared, but please use common sense.
Key Takeaways:
