What a brilliant observation!
All that meticulous planning and equipment acquisition and never a thought on what to run it off of...
meh.
excellent point, but also mention the complete lack of SKILLS and TRADES that will be needed. For instance my wife is an accountant and myself a fixed income broker....skills USESLESS to TEOTWAWKI (well accounting is good for quartermastering, etc)....so my wife picked up the following trades:
Her: Tailoring, knitting, spinning, weaving, tanning, wine making, gardening, herbalism.
Me: Gunsmithing, small engine repair, ham radio (just got my amateur extra last week), beekeeping (great for trade and security of buildings on your property), homebrewing, gardening, reloading, etc.
In addition, my wife and I have joined a emergency radio group and local boy scout troop to 1) volunteer and 2) learn new things.
......she still can't get me to go to a craft/quilt show....and I have to force her to a gun show ;(
One more thing: If you haven't found a church to join: Do that ASAP! I think having faith, skills, friends, and a prepper mindset will put everyone at a distinct advantage in the coming hard times.
Good luck out there!
