Preppers’ PING!!
Please consider this our Weekly Preppers’Thread to post progress, good buys, DIY, ideas amd questions.
People in my highly liberal area used to argue with me about the need for preparedness. Now I just remind them of the Snowmaggeddon three years ago or the derecho storm two years ago. No power, no food to buy, and no way to buy gas so one could get away and go find resources. People in this prosperous area were hungry and scared. Now some of hem don’t think I’m quite so crazy.
My prepping lately has been involved with getting the garden planted, as well as more fruit and nut trees, and berry bushes etc.
I did just finish reading a booklet entitled:
Food for the Future Now - A survival garden plan.
Lots of info there to ponder.
I found this comment below the article interesting. Apparently the article writer is denying that it was martial law where she was...”sheltering in place” was only a “suggestion” for her part of the state as she was not in Boston. It’s still cool that she was better prepared that she would have been otherwise without her recent efforts.

“I do not live in Boston, I live in the southern part of the state. The stay in place was a suggestion, not a mandatory order. Businesses closed due to the suggestion not an order. Yes, subway service was suspended and taxi service was stopped but people could still move around. I don’t want there to be a misunderstanding. There was no martial law.
My daughter was at a school that was in lockdown but she could still walk outside and go to the dining hall. She had more than enough food in her dorm room had she wished to stay in the room. Had she truly wanted to leave the campus, she would have been granted that leave.
It was not martial law…just a suggestion to help the police find the suspect in a small area. People where out and about outside of the little area that was being searched.
During our blizzard earlier in the year, there was a state of emergency where we could not be on the roads to help work crews and emergency vehicles to clean up. If you needed to get on the roads, you can. I have never heard of anyone getting arrested or fined for being on the roads during a state of emergency. Again, it was a precaution. I was happy that I, too had enough food and water to deal with 4 days of no electricity. It’s good to always be prepared.
