Prepping

[Country Pete]

I prep for several reasons which can fall under one general statement. To be able to take care of my loved ones in the event something extraordinary happens. My prep state is currently having enough food and water for my family of 5 for three months. Prepping is the primary reason I am looking into home distilling. There are two things that will be great to barter with if something does end the way our economy functions 1. Bullets - I am stocking up on .22 rounds and am starting to reload 12 gauge shotgun shells in bulk. 2. Alcohol - needs no real explanation. It can be used for everything from fuel to fun. My ultimate goal is to be able to hold out for six months. Also keep in mind becoming unemployed counts as something extraordinary. If that were to happen I would not have to purchase much food supplies for 6 months while I look for other employment. Prepping is not necessarily the exclusive area of the tinfoil hat crowd. I personally don't think there is going to be a Zombie Apocalypse but the economy really going in the dumper and being laid off is a real concern these days so having a reserve to draw upon is not really that crazy.
