Happy to be Prepping

[Little Lou]

Yep - but there's something else you do, BP, which you probably don't think twice about.

Hardly a day goes by without your posting something here. An idea, a comment, a link to an interesting article you want to share. There's a sturdy group of about a dozen of you who've been doing this for months (and even years) - and what you may not realize is that you're not only strengthening the community here, you're also chucking out helpful and inspiring information to the many lurkers who haven't yet dared to join.

When I come here I always start by looking at 'Today's Posts'. If that ever came up blank I'd feel oddly isolated, as if this whole thing didn't matter. People like you keep it ticking and keep it alive. We all want to look after ourselves and our families, but has it never occurred to you that just by posting here you're also helping OTHER people and THEIR families? In society you may well be 'marginal', but here you're right in the heart of the engine room.

You and NR have both pointed out the inspiration of other preppers. I'm just taking advantage of newbie tolerance to point out that YOU'RE TWO OF THEM.
