Another reminder that the Utah Food Co-Op orders are due this Friday (the 9th). As I <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2008/12/crossroads-co-op-december-deadline/">mentioned last month</a>, this is a great way to get high quality food, at a very good price.

I am aware of at least one individual on Utah Preppers that had doubts about this article ever seeing the light of day. Catching up on honey-do lists (building 2 can rotation systems, etc.) and everyday life was keeping me busier than I would have liked. Besides, seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water (well, except for Utah), so what's the big deal?

A single day without water significantly reduces bodily and mental performance." - Wikibooks - Outdoor Survival/Water

You know, the ones that we preppers are pretty sure we're going to have to fight off from killing us and stealing our preps WTSHTF. But, just in case any of you are slightly towing the line with the popular hero-worshiping of the Socialistic head of the 'Office of the President Elect' thinking somehow he's going to Change anything but his mind, or that somehow he's going to bring Hope to the country - I bring you this.
