How Far to Take Things

[Mortblanc]

I see a very big difference between having 15 bars of bath soap on the shelf and six tubes of toothpaste and having so much old newspaper stacked around that one can not walk through the house.

Just about the only thing I own that would not be in the house if I were not a "prepper" is the long term food stocks. That fills a 2 foot deep shelf 8 feet long and the same area of floor space in the utility room. It is neatly stacked and has no tendency to overflow into the rest of the house and take over my life.

Everything else I use as a "prepper" I would own anyway. It has its place and remains there unless it is in use.

However, my workshop is a disaster! Can't keep that mess in order no matter how much I try!
