Hey guys, this is a two part post. First of all, a general question: what kind of training/preparations are you all focused on? Right now, we face a greater level of uncertainty than we've seen in recent history. Since we're all fairly proactive, I figure you all are on top of things.
Secondly, to those who aren't doing this currently, a recommendation: start training and preparing. Even if it's very basic and just for your general confidence and nothing else. Now is a great time to start jogging or walking more, working out, learning basic repairs or weapons manipulations.
Our country is going through a lot, as we all know. It's very difficult to make even basic predictions about the state of the nation a few months out. It's time to pull it together and get any advantage you can.
Propane. Canned goods. Canning. Started a garden a couple years ago and I have a binder with those sleeve protectors for baseball cards I have with different seeds stored and labeled. I have filters for water and a lot of camping gear. Lots of literature (wife is librarian and loves books).
I have a desk job doing accounting but it’s always good to be at least 2 weeks prepared. I love camping and I love cooking so I always stay stocked up. Not just for us but my family and friends.
I’m in Texas and when we had the bad winter storm, that was a huge eye opener for people to prepare more. When we go grocery shopping we buy just that little bit extra every paycheck. I’m not a hardcore prepper but we have enough to Survive comfortably for about a year. I’m worried about my pets and will need to stock up more for them.
Edit: yes I can run a mile. If there’s zombies, 2 miles.
