A few ways to make preparedness fit your budget a bit better.

1. Prioritize. I know this is is a far bigger thing and really arguably negates the rest of the article but I do need to touch on it briefly. Choosing preparedness stuff instead of other things is a very valid option. I find it easier to have the goal in mind and do the math working towards it. Example doing the math that at 4 bucks a pop you would need to choose drip from home instead of fancy coffee 15 times to get the medium fixed blade knife you want or 10 nights out at $50 a pop to buy a rifle or whatever. For me this makes it a choice to prioritize that specific goal instead of just general budget tightening which kind of sucks.

You'll need solid bricks, not facing brick with the holes all the way through them. You are looking for thermal mass.

When that project starts, and if I'm still around ping me, and I'll give you the benefit of all my screwups so you can made different ones.

LOL! See - caught me off guard again ;)

Ok thanks, I sure will. I hope you're not planning on going off line? It'll be around 3 years, unless hubby either gets a job back east soon or we can scrape together some more pennies faster.

None knows the day or the hour. I don't take things for granted. ;)

oh, gottcha.

I’m hoping it won’t happen until I’m ‘ready’, but....

In the meantime I have a mountain retreat as a backup. And won’t sell it until we have the homestead with plenty of acreage. But mountains aren’t great for growing things so I hope things will collapse slowly, ala Weimar, instead of overnight. But, it’s all in His time, isn’t it? When I get nervous, I try to remember that fear and faith cannot coexist, and that I need to drop the fear.
