“Kartographer, Marcella, and others here and elsewhere have done a lot of good by posting anonymously about preparedness,...”

There are so many people out there who want information and I spent years researching everything connected to prepping, so it seemed a sin if I didn't give out that information in a way that would help them. On the other website where I post articles, so many were just starting out and those articles help them know how to start and put it together so they didn't lose their mind trying to do it.

So, I mainly write about process - how to do it, not how much one stores or where one stores it.

Maybe some people give out how much they have of this or that, but I don't as that would confuse people. Every person and family needs different items. I am just one person but complete families really have to store a lot and their requirements wouldn't work for me.

A family that is prepared would also know how to guard/protect their food and other supplies. I wouldn't be foolish enough to try to get their food - that is suicide by prepper as I've said before.

You speak about concern of your “rich but parasitic neighbors” and you don't talk of prepping around them. I am just naturally happy by myself and don't need a social life of “friends” or “neighbors” coming over because it interferes with my reading and writing and watching what I want on TV. I was reading when I was three and sat in a tree reading and didn't need company then, so it's a pleasant lifestyle for me.

The point being, only a few people know my name in our little group of houses, and there is only one lady I have conversation with occasionally and no one knows I am a prepper. They would be surprised to know I write about it. To them, I'm that widow who lives in “x” house and seldom comes outside.

My 5 lb. Yorkie figured out we were prepping when she saw large bags of her expensive dog food recently stored. She eats better than I do - Blue Buffalo for her has chicken, brown rice, carrots, sweet potatoes, blueberries, cranberries and additional vitamins. No, you can't take her place and sleep in her pink doggy bed and eat healthy doggie food.

LOL! I have a 5 pounder too, and I think he's the perfect size. Sturdy enough to go for 5 mile hikes but little enough to cuddle really well. Better than the cats.

Blue Buffalo is good stuff. Mine prefers cheap food but is stuck with Natural Balance most of the time. Must be like dog potato chips - the cheap stuff tastes good but is not good for you.

BTW, 'suicide by prepper' - LOVE that!
