Thinking...

I think he probably does Itsy

Hee hee - not saying that I wouldn't, but it would have to be on a weekend, otherwise I'd never be able to get up for work the next day!

If it all falls apart next month...It would leave me well short...but at least I'm on the road..I have a plan, I have some food stored and some growing, alternative power, a BOL if needed...

.... but at other times you take a good look at the stash and think oh god that's not enough !

Absolutely! Thats when I panic at 2 in the morning, get dressed and head for Tesco's for more baked beans!

Hobo - do you really do that?

Doesn't everyone?????

[itsybitsy]

Noooooooooooo!!!

anticipation is king. if the worst happens and i have time, i can overdraw my account by a couple of thousand so food would be purchased. i live in a agricultural area so depending on what time of the year, fields would be raided. Must create a more secure place for my hens as they would be stolen from the allotment.

I don't think anyone has all they need, and never will, and hopefully will never have to find out that their preps are just a little bit of disposable security that will get them through a tiny blip and very little else.

Reality is we can, could and should do more, but heck, we have our "normal lives" to lead as well.

Aye well, we'd like to keep our lives "normal"- so that's why we do this.

its all about money for me, finding enough of it to prep AND live the normal everyday life, bills etc!

If only i could win the lottery!

That's my plan B but I'm not confident it'd be viable. Plan A is still to be well stocked up.....

Always have at least 3 plans I need to start thinking/eating seasonally I think, and like somebody already mentioned, making sure I have some sort of veg growing or available all year round.

Might need a greenhouse and some solar heating or someway of creating a heat sink and a way of circulating it.
