Hi, been a prepper for long enough to be one before I'd heard the word! Just me and my wife now, kids all flown the nest. Try to keep things as simple as possible, use logs to heat our home have a wind generator for lights and keep a very well stocked food cupboard. the secret for me is keep it simple always ask yourself " how did they used to do it?" nine times out of ten we've forgotten the best ways. Hope to learn and maybe contribute to this forum, it's a sad fact that our way of life is seen as weird by many sheeple so it will be good to be able to converse on what is a major part of my life. All the best
