Well, after cruising through several forums, some with too many nutballs and some with too many on the other side, it looks like this might be the best forum out there. So here I am. I'm (we,,,my wife of many years) are preppers, and are close to having 2 years of supplies on hand.
We live in the California foothills (The other California) on a couple of acres, and have been preparing for WSHTF for about 2 1/2 years. This started when I became concerned about asteroids (of all things) then I bought a few seed packets. Then a few more. Then a soy milk maker, then a grain mill, then the grain. Generators and fuel were important, as were spices, dry foods, and our Food Saver. I love that machine. So we have lanterns, and lantern oil, a million candles (hers), and many firearms with more than enough ammunition.
Yes, my friends laugh at me, and yes, they are welcome when they need our help. I can't imagine what goes on in peoples minds, maybe they don't watch the news and cruise forums.
Regardless, I'm here and looking forward to sharing anything I can with those of you on this forum, and hope I can get my ever increasing list of questions answered before I die in 30 or 40 years. ;D ;D ;D
