Prepping Mindset, And You

[Gunfixr]

Good post. That's pretty much the way I've tried to prep as well. Over the years we had our share of small shtf events, which weren't major but could've been a real PITA if we hadn't been prepared. For a few friends who think we're a bit nuts, I've always told them this, but they just "wing it" whenever something happens.
We usually almost enjoy ourselves. It almost sucked when the power and phone came back 2 wks after Hurricane Isabel.

Great post I too have prepared along the same lines. You know being so dependent upon electricity I need to get more redundancy into my system. My BOL will have a root cellar that will also be a shelter if needed. I too am going to be putting it on a fast track when things dry out.

If it ever goes to a Mad Max situation I am screwed, since I'm bald I guess I would have to grow a reverse Mohawk.

God only made so many perfect heads; the rest he covered with hair!

Good post AK. I've related on the board before that I learned this mindset in Boy Scouts, church and from my family. To me it's really more of a lifestyle. Being responsible for a concrete block plant and an off-road equipment fleet I have to be prepared, because if I'm not, we lose money and the owners frown on that! Also, this mindset is basic to self-reliance and taking responsibility for my own actions.
