What have done towards your prep?

[Mortblanc]

We never had meat delivery to the house. That has not been common here except in large cities.

We killed our own farm raised stock and put whole hogs and half beef in the freezer. Too much to cook up.

We split the beef with Mom's sister and her brood.

Did that a couple of times each year.

Part of the hogs, sides, hams and shoulders and all the sausage, was salted and or smoke cured by G-dad in the big smoke-house. It was usually the chops and loins and such that were frozen.

All of the beef was frozen. It was always a real treat when the beef arrived from the processor all frozen and wrapped. Hundreds of pounds of steaks, roasts and ground meat all stacked where it could be easily grabbed without having the freezer door open longer than necessary.

That and hundreds of quart bottles of vegges on the shelf on the opposite wall. That was security to people that had grown up during the depression. If it was not on that wall or in that freezer it did not exist and you did not count on it.

How could I grow up to be anything except a prepper?
