"how do u know it's going to be in 2012????"

"Welcome to the site.

First order of business: you need to break up your wall-o-text so that it makes it easier for others to read.

I'll start with food and water, since you realize it's importance. You need to start stocking up now. And you need to determine how many people you are making supplies for. Make a plan to transport the food you have if you don't plan on remaining in one place. Consider, too, what will you do for long term survival once your stockpile is depleted.

Ammo, first-aid kits, flashlights and batteries also need to be readied before the shtf. And again, determine the number of your group. Or you can advise your members to start stocking their own supplies now if you don't intend to provide for them.

If your plan is to keep moving, you will need to figure out a plan about when will be the best time to move after the shtf, how often and to where. And make a plan that doesn't include any government officials evacuating people to safety.

Find out about acquiring your boats and planes and trucks and the fuel needed to power them, and find that out now. After will be too late."

"no, that's the asteroid impact date.

Wait, the solar flare/Earth cook-off contest date (hint: we lose).

Oh, and then there's the 'Thundarr" scenario which is like the asteriod impact.

But could also be that alien invasion.

Or maybe it's when Maricely & I meet up and the resulting combustion causes reality to unravel with time loop portal cascading into oblivion.

Take your pick."
