I’ve been trying to organize my food stash in the basement. Some of the canned food is from 2019. We’re starting to eat some of the $2000 we invested in the idea that “someday we’re going to be starving to death.” With food prices so high, we prepare meals from our stash to cut down on our grocery bill. I’m happy we have it but hope we won’t regret cutting into it later.

It got me thinking about all the threats we peddle through on any given day: aliens, blackouts, internet sabotage, new pandemics, concentration camps, etc. etc. etc.

I’m wondering if I can get better at discerning which threats to react to. We’ve got a seriously new and amazing generator in the garage. I’m glad we’re prepared, but preparing hasn’t been cheap or easy.

Of all your prep work, what are you most relieved to have? What could have waited or not been done at all, if anything? Any regrets? Anything still on your wish list?
