A smattering of some very practical ideas

After the first few paragraphs of wistful reflections by a mediocre 30-something, there are *lots* of very practical ideas to prepare.

Read it carefully (at least after the first few paragraphs), and I'm sure you'll get at least an idea or two. Here are a couple that I walked away with:
- Rainwater collection barrels
- Planting fruit trees and grapevines
- The mormon website for food storage (see next post)

I'm also redoubling my resolve to get in better shape health-wise. In 25 years (or maybe less), there's not going to be healthcare like there is today - people will just be left to die. Therefore we need to do all we can now to avoid needing healthcare as we get older.
