Greetings! From the ‘Inland” PNW! We always thought that if TSHTF, that feeding the Mothers and Children first is important! We think we should all help each other work through our challenges, (better choices with more brains working through things…) but we in our area have noticed that there was a decided ‘separate-ness’ happening because of the “social” organizations of politics, religions, etc. We have suggested (to various peoples ‘in charge’ of such organizations) that in a real SHTF scenario, we would Have to All work together, regardless of their rules or beliefs! We usually get an agreement, but always first from the women, (moms usually,) they are the first to work together in a crisis, (since most of these organizations are ‘predominately patriarchial’ by nature, where the women are considered important but not the chief decision makers it seems. Oh how ‘society’ has changed!) People are People, and it is that simple, if TSHTF we will all be needed, and no time to ever waste on “philosophies”. We will Help each other, in spite of short-sighted or limited attitudes!

AnonymousI’m from the Eastern side of Washington state. I’ve lived just about everywhere in the US growing up, and I’ve learned a lot from those different areas and all the different SHTF situations that can happen. I’ve been in bad snow storms, flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. Lol. We don’t really get a lot of crazy weather here, except wind storms. We are in an area where it doesn’t have too much of an impact though.
I count myself lucky to have moved here. We definitely get all 4 seasons, but the growing season is iffy depending on what you want to grow. I love the long winters and spring is basically a 2 month long monsoon mixed in with freezing rain sometimes. The summers aren’t that hot either. I pretty much love this place.
As for the one of the few things I haven’t really experienced… volcanic eruptions. I know Mt. St. Helens went off around 1980’s? Yah, not super excited if that ever happens again. I heard from a local here that it even coated this area in ash.

Hello, fellow PNWesters and everyone else here! I’ve been like”semi-” prepping for a couple of years. Real slow and careful, as my husband thinks I’m crazy. I pick up a little here and a little there.I grow a little garden, and can , I’ve started learning to shoot a gun, and being a ret tied nurse, I’m in the process of gathering medical supplies. I’m in my third year of herbal school and have many different herbs growing around my yard. I’m really, really trying to talk to my husband and have him take some of his pension and retirement money out of the bank and hiding it here. Hope to get to know more of you all and see what we have in common !
