Preppers’ PING!!
Sounds like good suggestions.
I live alone and have given up trying to work with anyone else. Friends and neighbors do not believe that more than a few days food is needed in case of a hurricane. They are just in near complete denial of world conditions.
Local group a year or two ago said they were starting a team to work together. I thought it would be good for me, but first thing they did was put an age limit on it, so I said ... to myself, “It is their loss”. “I have some very good skills to share”.
I now plan to just go it alone. It has cost a lot more, but I seem to be about ready. I guess we all keep reading and adding to our plans.
