Life-Prep balance
Let's not joke about. If (or when) something is going to happen, then we need to be prepared for it.
But at the same time, we also need to enjoy the good times before any event happens.
In your life, are you sacrificing the relationships with neighbours, colleagues, family, and the alike, for prepping purposes? Do you spend a weekend prepping, storing, and the alike, or do you relax with the kids, enjoy a little leisure time, do your hobbies?
Don't get me wrong, a lot of my hobbies translate to prepping activites, e.g. staying fit, running, swimming, weights, hunting, climbing, camping, learning survival skills, gardening, building crap in the garden, going self sufficient, and the alike. I have no doubt many people on the forum are similar to me in that respect. Leisure time and prep building are HUGELY overlapped.
But summer is coming, so it'd be interesting to know if people are planning to prep hard for winter, that's cool. Summer means cheap winter clothing. Or whether people are planning to spend a little more leisure time relaxing.
Prep, and prep hard, but make time to enjoy things while they're good.
