I like watching the TV show Doomsday Preppers the way a person is drawn to look at a car accident on the side of a freeway. I call it Doomsday Poopers cause if the shit ever hit the fan all most of them would do is shit themselves. Goofiest part, everyone on that show knows the future as if their crystal ball is well polished and tuned into the cosmos. I am prepping for a global pandemic. I'm prepping for a commit hitting the earth. I'm pepping for civil unrest. I am prepping for ..... oh shut up you do not know what the future holds.
Then one episode made me realize I am a prepper. It was a show where someone said they were getting ready for the unknown because they dont know what the future holds. Damn, my entire philosophy right there.
Nope, not stockpiling guns and ammunition. Not hording toilet paper. Just figuring out ways to spend less money, first by growing my own food but gotta tell you tackling that water bill is next on my list. Then there is the electric bill. Not with solar panels yet, first with a greenhouse / solar heating for the thing to decrease my dependance on grow lights.
We probably have half a year to a year of food on hand, but if it were fall a great deal more. We dehydrate and can, putting up anything we do not eat. Then, over the winter it gets consumed and this time of the year we share with friends. In the fall, when we have extra we share with neighbors and try to share with the food bank. Last year, had none to share so I say try. So I dont think we are hording food, just enough to get threw the winter till when crops are growing again.
Reading this, do you think you are a prepper?
