I started storing before I knew what it was. We were semi-homeless for over a year after loosing an apartment and looking to move into our own place finally. I started buying food even though I didn’t have a home to put it in, stuffed it in boxes under the day bed I was sleeping on. When we moved we were set for everything but meat. I learned to put back and buy extras along the way, eventually it turned into what is now called prepping. Back then it was making sure we had food for everyone when there was no work for 3 out of 5 days because of rain, or inbetween jobs, or fired, or whatever. We have always lived off of one income so I learned to be resourceful fast.
