I've made it through a few hard times without a genset. I don't know the last time I bought gas. Been a while. The city hasn't sent a lawn notice since spring.
Groceries, the good Lord provides wherever we live, if you study.
Studying brings 2nd Timothy 2:15 to mind. Skillsets are important.

You need to jump off your high horse, which for you will be a long tumble, and read some Proverbs, some of Paul’s other epistles, and study some parables.
I would also like to know why showing wisdom in prepardeness somehow means you won’t have skillsets....and won’t have the Word of God.
If I stock up on guns, gold, cash, generators, fuel, batteries, groceries, etc - I will still have my Bibles and my skill sets.
Or, you could just be a bitter old prune looking for a fight and intentionally going off topic.
Including couponing skillsets. Just picked up my Thanksgiving turkey for FREE last night via coupons.
