Prepper Diary

I was in a head-on collision with another vehicle and both my airbags deployed. I survived largely uninjured, and a learned an important lesson or two.

The move is now 24 hours away and the house is a wasteland, with nothing to eat and no table at which to sit and eat. We can't wait to move to our prepper property.

We are forced to make more repairs and improvements on our gravity-fed spring water thanks to freezing temperatures.

As fall comes to a close, its time to winterize the homestead and make sure the livestock is protected from snow, wind, and cold weather.

The snow has forced us into isolation and limited what we can do. I like it.

Regardless of what the governor or the mayor says the rules are, things are bustling in our home town as business reopen and people hit the streets.

I am staying home to save money, and I am not alone. People are cutting back on vacations and scaling back their weekend plans as gasoline inflation bites them

I broke quarantine to go to Sam’s Club this morning and spend $350 of our stimulus check on food. Some things were better than expected, some worse, and a few surprised me. A full report follows.

I get to look forward to another chilly, muddy adventure climbing a mountain to repair or spring-fed water system.

As grocery stores and online retailers finally restock some of their canned goods and dry foods, it's a good time to rebuild your long term food storage.
