What have done towards your prep?

[Mortblanc]

I believe the term is called "risk analysis" and it actually involves considering whether the value and probability of the prep is worth the trouble one would go to in order to have it covered.

Theoretically it starts at "what were you thinking?" and reaches a point where the answer is "bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye, you can't do anything about this!"

Or you can go with the philosophy that enough is never enough and constant re-evaluation, reorganization and resupply is a perpetual necessity if you want to be able to survive "everything".

As a long term "prepper", starting back in the 1960s, living through a stressful but uneventful "cold war", fighting through a real war, living through "social unrest" that burned cities, going through three or four separate collapses of the economy, living through the exploding of a family, loss of loved ones and surviving "life in general", I must say that the best of the survival preps have been the ones that would be called mental and spiritual.

You can run like the wind and escape danger. You can pile goods on top of goods and never be hungry. You can exercise and medicate until you body is perfect. You can build the perfect "bug out vehicle" and drive it to the perfect bug out location".

But you can never escape the endless thoughts and doubts that made you a prepper to start with.

Or you can just confess, and admit that you love to play with all these neat toys we have and "survival" is justification for buying them.

BTW, Today I used the 4WD on the BOV for the first time this year. Some moron ran me off the road into a guy's garden and I had to use compound low to get back onto the pavement!
