@Emo Bear Forever,
Good on ya. Do what you can with what you have. Bummer about the family. I can relate.
Yeah, I am not the end all be all prepper. I have to do with what I have. Be great to have solar or wind off grid power, but that money thing.
Basically I have a foot in each world, as I think many do. Try my best to improve on the prepper side with skills, but never seems to be enough time in the day.
