Our family got into prepping a few years ago. We started with a small garden which has grown to include 10 raised garden beds, 2 large compost piles and a chicken coop. We give out the extra food we cant eat to freinds and family. We have tried canning but that's is an area we need to improve upon. I plan on on bunkering down where I am at and surviving with what we have built here at the house. Should the need arise we have bug out bags for everyone in the family (even the dog ). We go camping whenever we have a free weekend and we use that time to practice our survival skills using only what we have in bug out bags.
