Thanks for the ping.

Prepping - a word used today to describe what most folks I grew up with considered common sense.

Living in tornado alley where electricity outages happen frequently too, we always had stuff on hand and stored for emergencies.

When the gas prices spiked up, I knew from the 70s inflation, that food and other goods would soon follow, so I bought as much stuff that we use regularly as I could and especially on sale-making sure that we could use it up by or shortly after the use by date.

I had already in 2007 liquidated half of my stock positions, but when the market crashed in 2008, and the economic disaster like nothing seen before in my lifetime, I also considered what if scenarios, and developed a plan to become as independent as possible.

Of course, I am not finished with that implementation since I couldn’t just run out and spend tons of money on any and all things that might be useful, but we are pretty well set up and continue to work on the plan.

God willing, we’ll have time to do more. If not we’ll have his guidance our faith in him to help us through what ever comes.
