I guess I have always been interested in preparedness but usually I was regarded as kind of a nut.
Well the past couple of years have really become a wake up for a lot of people including me. I had a large home in the country with all of the things one would hope to have in a "shtf" scenario but because of the economic downturn we had to sell the house and move into the suburbs sharing a double house with my daughter and children. Next, my wife, who had lupus, became a casualty .
It seems to have awakened a spark in me that now I will take care of the rest of the family and I will be prepared even if they are not . They are starting to see some of it but my prep has given me a reason to keep on going and it also spared new learning and a whole lot of other things.
Little by little I have been reading and following prepper sites; I have purchased a modest amount of long-term storage food and have begun to can( my wife and I always did that together). So now it keeps her alive with me as I fill jars and load the canner.
I do not feel at the mercy of the economy any longer. I have also taken some other things into my own like my Retirement account. Heck, if I did what I wanted to do twelve years ago I probably would be running my own prepper store now or maybe seeing a little more of this great land we live in. I am already proficient with firearms and have been instructing the younger set on proper handling and emergency drills .
Love the whole prepper mindset Thanks for reading this.
