I’ve pretty much been prepping since about 2009.
What little I could do. Some of it was food donated to a church.
It all came in handy. Used all of it (gave some to friends later - small amount that was coming up on expiration).
While most people were very grateful, I saw at least one that acted .... how shall I say? .... Entitled?
They haven’t been able to afford to do that thing in years (at the church). I’m glad they did it when they could.
I still prep. I rotate stock. I can at least prep food and drink.
We started prepping about 10 years ago. We keep one year of food and 165 gallons of drinking water in the garage. Because ya never know.
I’m not so concerned with prepping now with Trump.
During bad weather, I make sure to keep extra water on hand. We have a well so that’s the least of our concerns.
The plan this week is to organize the pantry. We’ve been eating down the freezer - because it needs to be done every so often. No matter how neat I try to keep it, there’s always things that get lost and I’m very much opposed to wasting food. Tossing food is the same as flushing money down the toilet.
