I don’t think it really matters what you are prepping for; it’s the why that matters! We have always had extra food on hand for snow or emergencies but when we realized we would have a major decrease in our income we started to get prepared. Soon we realized that Read more…
♫ ♪I’m a prepper, he’s a prepper, she’s a prepper, wouldn’t you like to be a prepper too?! ♫ ♪ I am enjoying learning about gardening, bread making, food storage, home and self-defense, sewing, canning, and many more essential skills on my prepping journey to self-reliance.
