Preppers’ PING!
Taking you own advise I see.. ;0)
“Never talk when you can nod and never nod when you can wink and never write an e-mail, because it’s death. You’re giving prosecutors all the evidence we need.”
Eliot Spitzer, paraphrasing Martin Lomasney
The first rule in security is “Don’t let ‘them’ know your strengths or weaknesses!”
I had a truck line driver in here delivering to me and he told about his previous stop. He delivered i/2 a trailerload of survival food to some folks in town. At least I know where to go!
If interested, look up a book on charcuterie - this will teach you how to make salted pork, sausage, bacon and preserve various foods.
Make sure boxes are not labeled

Not to sure about this one when Prepping with the family in mind. My plans try to include them surviving without me.
Remember: prepping is hoarding, a capital crime in the eyes of the monkeys who are the Forces of Niceness.
I pay really close attention to opsec. Even my brothers don’t know that I am stocking up.
I had a break in several weeks ago. So the cops went through the house. They didn’t say anything but I know they saw the stuff because one asked my if I was ever in the military.
Not sure what I could have done to prevent this except not calling the police to have them clear the house.
The “never tell anyone outside the family what you’re thinkin” rule should apply to many things, not just prepping.
I wish it was possible to find a prepping community/village/what-have-you, that didn’t subscribe to any particular ideology other than prepping, that is, not white supremacists, or a religious group with an apocalypse time table.
There’s always living among the Mormons and their readiness with a year’s supply of food, but a sufficiently high percentage of Mormons might make for limited social integration for non-Mormons, before and after SHTF.
Well, at least we won’t be on anybody’s radar posting such things on FR.
Add these to your list:
FIVE RULES TO RE MEMBER IN LIFE
1. Money can not buy happiness, but it’s more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the ass-hole’s name.
3. If you help someone when they’re in trouble, they will remember you when they’re in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then neither does milk.
Welcome to Prep Club. The first rule of Prep Club is: you do not talk about Prep Club.

Where’s “Be nice and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”?
Conversely by posting a bunch of prepper stuff to Twitter and Facebook, you can probably send Big Sis and her minions on a grand wild goose chase...
Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
Here is where I like to tell about my brother-in-law when he was a child back in WWII.
They had a ranch in West Texas, grew, canned and put up all their food for winter use on the ranch. One day someone squealed on them that they were “hoarding food” so the government raided their ranch and confiscated every bit of their stored food they found.
How did they get through the winter? They had another cellar with extra food way back in the hills no one knew about.
