Still here , still adding bits and pieces to my stash , still shooting , the main change is I'm busy living rather than busy preparing to die

M&M I believe most of us here now have about that same outlook, connecting our preps to better quality of life rather than prevention of catastrophic death at the hands of zombies or the "golden horde" which was much of the focus of the insecure only a few years back.
That is especially true of those imaginative souls that believed they would survive as "ninja boy scouts" living with the wife and kids under a tarp on the moors and in the mountains.
I have been at this for a long time and I have observed two things. Social anxiety prepping occurs during times of recession, and it occurs when the U.S. has a liberal president.
When the economy is good we who are more dedicated go back to "prepping" to insure food quality rather than food security, economic security rather than economic survival, and education rather than desperation.
There was a time on here when one could not contemplate planting their veggie patch or container garden without drawing comments that we were making ourselves "targets" for the rioting rabble.
So far all our losses have been due to onset of disinterest and I do not know of a single loss of a member to starvation, plague, famine, being killed by rioters or eaten by zombies.

My neighbor insisted some years ago that his daughter not wear perfume to the school dance. Instead Dad applied Hoppe's No.9 gun cleaning solvent behind her ear with a cotton swab, and told her if any young men she danced with recognized the aroma and smiled, that she could invite them over for Sunday dinner.
The couple has been married for a year now and are expecting their first child.

And there is the off chance that she has held up well and we are the ones grown ugly enough to gag a maggot!
I have been on the trail of the lost for some time;
Lost my hair
lost my eyesight
lost my hearing
Somehow gained 3 stone and still lost enough of my @$$ to need braces

No we don’t know everything. Even those of us of the cold war generation. We all know something that might be of use to others.
I became a member last November (after being a guest for a few years) as i thought my ideas on prepping may be of interest to others.
I am very surprised that with over 100 people regularly guesting on the forum that there are only a few members posting on a regular basis.
If you’re interested enough to read the posts here, register and tell us about YOUR preps, you may have knowledge and skills that will benefit us all.
