Welcome to the forum HS. Glad you made it here. I'm pretty much across the state from you but feel free to bounce away.

I think you made a great call on getting out of the city. From what i hear Memphis is pretty rough. We used to live in Louisvill Ky and i would compare them closely. The rest of your plan sounds like your off to a good start on the other essentials as well. Take a good long look at your water situation both storage and ability to gather and filter. To me that has always been my top priority.

Thank you for your service BTW.
