I'm fine until I turn the radio on or read the internet news.
Luckily we don't have a TV so at least we don't get bombarded from that source.

I'm sensible enough to know that I can't cope with everything and broke enough to know I can't afford all the equipment and training I'd like to have. Even if we did both get trained to Ray Mears and McGyver quality, a simple accident or a kid with a blade may be enough to wipe us both out. Sh^t happens.

Keeping an eye on things MAY give me the edge but the problem is more of being able to decode the cr^p that pours out of the media more than anything else.

At this moment I'm too busy worrying about what new maggot will crawl out of the governments collective brain cell.
We are so close to financial death that every day is just too tiring to worry about what may happen. Our current prepping consists of valuing all our "chattels" for when it all goes to hell.

Until then, We're having as much fun as we can safely afford.
