Back in '07, I had no idea what prepping was. The morning after the ice storm, I remember stepping outside and freaking out about the mess in my well maintained yard. I still cringe when thinking about all of the oak and hickory I threw in the burn pile just to get things back to "normal"--not to mention scrambling for food, heat, light, etc.
Fast forward to today, and how things have changed. This was a much milder event, but still provided a good opportunity to assess my mental and physical prepping progress. I laughed a bit after looking at the limbs in the yard and finding myself calculating how much new firewood I had and how much more sun exposure my forthcoming solar project will have.
Whether you've been doing it for years or have just begun, how has prepping changed your POV in general, and specifically regarding events like this latest storm?
