I have been reading your posts for a while now, and find all the different view points to be interesting. I am not a prepper by the standards of many here, but by slowly working "back to my past" I kind of fall into the category. I grew up in a time warp; no electricity, plumbing, telephone ect... so I know first hand the lifestyle some here are trying to plan for.
My prepping doesn't involve lots of beans and bags but rather tools, fabrics,boots, shoes, livestock, shelter, heat, and basic food items that allow me to make other food items. I have a farm so we eat "poor man's chow". Meat and potatoes. We eat beef, pork, chicken, raw milk/cheese/butter and all the other stuff the government says will kill you. So far, no luck there, but we will keep trying to prove they are right about something.
Starting an orchard this year as well. Probably die of old age before we benefit from that but if we don't plant it, no one will.
MMMMMMMMMM fresh cows milk and cream. I grew up with that and miss it so much.

Near as I can figure, its South Eastern. Get togethers are good, but one thing about a farm; it ties you down. Not an excuse. Just a fact.
