When people find out I am a prepper they always ask me the same question. What are you prepping for? I tell them that "I am prepping for life without service. There are too many things that can go wrong for something to not go wrong. If the power goes out for the night, I am prepared. If I lose my job, we'll still have food. If all government services shut down, we'll be okay."
I have only been prepping for about a year and still have a lot to learn and do. I don't have $30k to spend on my preps so; most of what I get is from garage sales, auctions and trade. I buy some items at these places for resale and, to date, have actually not spent a cent on my preps. I might even be in the positive.
For those keeping score, L2Survive means "learn to survive" because that is what I am doing. Thatnub was one of my old gamer tags. NUB meaning Non Useful Body. If you have any ideas, comments or questions, let me know.
