I have used this website before and not really kept up with blogging on it but I am going to give it another chance until I can find something I like better.
I never thought about prepping until my ex and his friends started talking about the Zombie Apocalypse and planning out their "plan" over the last 5 years. They never went further than just talking about it. No one even thought about getting items and actually doing any prepping until I came along. I started getting into couponing when funds were tight and in just 2 weeks got really good at it. I scored enough toothpaste and toothbrushes that I have not bought any for 2 years and am not even halfway through my stash. I have also started collecting weapons and learning to use them correctly.
Anyone who knows me knows I watch/dvr a lot of shows about Preppers and like them. "Doomsday Preppers: Bugged Out" just started again on Nov 13 so I am excited. I am not as extreme as some but I like to get ideas and even have my excel spreadsheet out while watching the shows for any ideas I get (I'll try to post them here too since this is just a way for me to track my thoughts and things).
Just thoughts/ideas I'm putting down as I think of them:
I have started stocking up on food but need a lot more. I am going to relearn how to can food since I have not done it in many many years. I am also learning a lot about food storage. I am so excited about my $4 finds at Goodwill of 2 new-in-box food saver systems so I can store some foods that way. I need to start storing water. I've got enough laundry detergent for at least 2 years in a front load washer since that is what we currently use so there will be many years worth if we just need to do small "loads" by hand of certain items.
I am also planning a large storage pantry for food and supply stores. I'm talking like 20*20+.
I will be buying a house soon to live in while I build my "dream home" (in the planning steps for now) so I will be adding on solar panels to be able to have power when others do not. I will also install a rain water collection system. Both are already in the plans for the house I will be building.
The house I will be building has a thick, tall wall surrounding the entire parcel of land. There will be a garden, storage building, chickens, a few goats, and eventually I will be adding on a few small outbuildings for my friends/family to live in if they so choose.
Once I buy my land I will be on the hunt for a certain vehicle that can be customized to have armored plating as well as take many types of fuels. I will also start storing different fuels to use for vehicles, fire starters, cooking, and more.
ok, I could go on and on but my 2yr old just fell asleep next to me after a long 15 hour drive home from families houses (prob the last time I make that trip) and I am getting to bed too.
