Red, in response to your comments about OPSEC and telling no one, I’ll give you and others on this thread the heads up about an interview I have coming up with Nightline. I’ve been interviewed several times — had no idea this whole prepper thing would turn out to be so big. My name is out there, we’ve taken security precautions and there are more long term security plans in the works. So, in order to avoid any prepper/survivalist heads from exploding, I’m giving the heads up!
Yes, people will see our tiny garden, my solar cooker, my pantry. There is such a need to support people who are just starting to realize the dangers that lie ahead and for them to see someone normal, no camo, no white-supremecist leanings (they visit my blog on occasion, so I know there are plenty of them in the survivalist category) — just a normal, suburban mom who is taking steps to prepare her family and home. One friend of mine said, “I have tons of ramen hidden behind my couch, and if I have to, I’ll sit out by my pool with a gun to guard my water.” There’s a better way of preparing than that! I’m hoping my blog and my speaking out will help more people feel empowered to prepare, maybe even the relatives and friends of preppers who are keeping quiet because of OPSEC. :O)
