I was never a hoarder before CoVid, at least for things I need every day.

You’re still not a hoarder.

Wise prepping is not “hoarding”.

Hoarding is grabbing everything you can whether you need it or not and hanging onto it at the expense of others.

Where would we or our ancestors be without wise prepping for hard times.

These last couple generations are really the first ever that lived hand to mouth as a normal course of existence.

I’m a prepper and a bit of a hoarder, LOL

Especially the last 10 years.

Possible be cause of supply chain middle men and an infrastructure enabling it. Imagine what America looks like after 30,000,000 million from all walks of life are suddenly vanished. The days following the Departure of The Body of Christ Believers will be hell on Earth in the cities and suburbs.

Thanks for your Realville words. I think because my husband is involved the supply chain, it makes me very aware of shortages and how things can go awry easily.

When one cog in the wheel gets stuck, everything else is impacted. Yet another reason why we need to try to be independent in our own country.

I never thought of that! You are very wise. You’re right, our ancestors put food away for the winter, they canned, dehydrated, planned ahead. They did as much as they could with the resources they had. And they use things like dried beans and rice oh, so they always knew they had something in the pantry they could eat.

And look what happens whenever there’s an announcement of a storm coming. Everybody panics, heads to the grocery stores, it’s like they don’t have a single thing in their kitchen. When the delivery trucks quit showing up at the grocery stores for a few weeks, they will all be in trouble.

Our grandparents and great grandparents canned and jarred everything because one bad year for crops could still spell starvation.

They prepped because bad things happen. (see tagline)
