Well said Namelus. Good post.
Old Mt. Woman, I agree. Getting to old for all this prepping stuff but know it has to be done. If nothing else my kids and grandkids will have it to help them out.
Right now the only thing I have been noticing is that prices on some things are rising and on others they have lowered the prices. Also stores are not stocking like they did a couple of years ago. Used to be a lot of canned goods and cereals and such. Now very little. The meat dept. has decreased the amount of meat they put in the shelves now as well as milk and eggs have been stocked with less than what they used to carry. I think that all this flooding and fires, etc. will tell the tell in about one or two years. There is going to be a shortage of food. It is not a question of if but when. Weather all over the world has taken a bad hit over the past couple of years. I am thinking things could get worse but am praying that it will get better. I really need to take a look at my backyard to see how I can increase my garden but think it would be to much for DH to handle. So going to look into son in law and one of my neighbors to be helping out.
