It really sucks to be required to because of financial disaster. Yes, I did it. I would rather have been able to go to the grocery store and buy steaks. ;)

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I am thinking of it as more of a game – to see just how little I could live on. But having to do it for real would be completely different. But that is why we are prepping – just in case. Hoping for the best; prepping for the worst. Hope things are much better for you now!

Don't feel too sorry for me, I had squirrel dumplings in broth with local greens, and meals like that. I was eating better than 90% of Americans. But that's because of my training. I won't be miserable... ;)

With a pocket knife and a little time, I can get a fairly good meal from the surrounding area. I believe God wants me to eat well. He certainly provided for me.
