Has Prepping changed you?

[Lightspeed]

We have always prepped, just we didn't put a label on it.

Now the label is applied, yes, we are doing things differently.

More bulk buying.

Less hesitation in purchasing relatively expensive items that get identified as being strategic weaknesses.

Moving away from luxury/ status type vehicles towards utilitarian machines

Thinking not just of back-up systems, but multi-layered back-up systems, especially so in areas of water supply, light, heat and cooking.

More growing of our own produce, and special arrangements for livestock as and when necessary.

Defence and weaponry, was originally felt to be macho nonsense. but the more we consider what is happening the higher priority this becomes.

Communications: Obviously already well covered. Now focus is on third level ultra simple, ultra rugged, ultra low powered devices that will remain operational in the long term.

Not throwing anything away that might at some time in the future have uses. This applies especially to steel items...we have accumulated quite a scrap-yard now.
