Jim was never the person to be worried about worldly affairs and how it may have an effect on him until recently. Jim noticed there were a lot of disasters and rioting going on all over the world. Jim's friends had once mentioned to him about how prepared he was in the event of an emergency, but blew it off, believing that America's borders were safe and secure. What got Jim to thinking, was the events that happened during the Katrina incident and how long it took for the people effected to get help. Jim wondered how long he could hold out until help arrived. Jim mentioned this to a friend who was into being prepared for unforeseen events that may result in one having to defend for themselves. Jim was told that he needed to rely on his own preparedness, because the government would likely not be there to bail him out in times of disasters. With the help of a few good friends that were knowledgeable in the areas of prepping for disasters and survival techniques, Jim began a slow journey from being a novice to becoming an educated Prepper.
