I've always believed in a good home supply of goods. Ever notice when there's a bad snowstorm forecast and the stores are packed the day before with people stocking up ? I'm usually sitting home because I'm already stocked ! I agree with everyone about having supplies and gear in vehicles in case you get stuck somewhere. Preps don't have to cost a lot either Sounds like most of us are outdoor guys and we probably have enough camping(emergency gear) on hand already. I stock up whenever grocery stores have their buy 1 get 2 type of specials. It's amazing how fast you can build up surplus without going broke. Bugging out is a last resort to me.Looking forward to more prep talk and new ideas from other members.
