Hi all. After moving to Memphis, TN when I got out of the Navy, I've really been worried about what would happen should SHTF. I've been doing what I can. I love in an apartment so it's been a challenge. We've started a garden on our balcony and began storing food and tools/ supplies.

But we just made our biggest prep purchase yet! We bought a house! It's not the backwoods retreat I'd like but it's day and night from the apartment and all for $500 less a month than the apartment. We'll have a yard to garden and tons of storage space. It's also got a wood burning fireplace. Having that and a big backyard will open up lots of options for post SHTF survival.

Any ideas for a newbie's first house if the SHTF?
