[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3908056, member: 27284"] I detest the word "prepper". I'll try to keep this short, I can easily go on for pages and pages. My parents were born in 1912 & 1916. They went through the Great Depression as very young adults, and then they went through WW2 as a young married couple with their 1st child born just before Pearl Harbor. As the years went by they went through economic depressions and other things, things that we have not experienced since. Since, that's a key word and concept to understand. Having said all that, while growing up it was drummed into my head to always live conservatively, save money every month, find a side job, stay out of debt, only finance homes, etc etc etc.. A big garden was a yearly event, and pressure canning into mason jars was very important, as well as buying canned goods and stocking them in the clean dry basement. For years we've thought, as a Society, that those years were behind us. We've been foolish as a Society, for many examples and reasons. All you have to do is look around the world and see hundreds and hundreds of millions of people with lack of food, safe and comfortable housing, good medical care and freedom. I know people, right now, who have maybe a few days of food at home. They eat out a lot and only buy what they want for a few days stock. Foolish! If anything, the events since covid started should be clear to any observant clear thinking attentive and critical thinking person to realize that we are really just a step away from SHTF of one type or another. Get out of credit card debt and stash money away. Have AT LEAST one month food supply on hand, and at least a few days of water at hand at all times. It's easy, it really is. Make a commitment of time and money, and of learning and education. [/QUOTE]
