How many folks have prepared bug out plans? My friends are regularly working to strengthen our plan. Of course - "The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men..." Still - it's better to plan and risk failure than to fail to plan and guarantee failure.
We are straddling the fence to invest in things that will bring value whether or not it all goes to crap. Some things are only useful in the "goes to crap" territory, but most items are stuff we will naturally consume over the course of a few years anyway.
I am in awe. Good work fren. i wish everyone had the forethought to plan like you have, starting 20 years ago.
Thank you. I credit my old Scoutmaster. Not that he was a prepper or taught me to prep... but he kept his boot in my ass and pushed me across the finish line.
Eagle Scout 1985
The absolute best prepper books in the world are the two book set; Boy Scout Handbook, and Boy Scout Field Guide. Be sure to get pre-1980 versions. Something was lost about the time mothers became scout leaders.
