Meaning WATER, THE BASICS, ALTERNATE HEAT AND LIGHT SOURCES, a stocked pantry.....

This we just do up here in Vermont. Everyone does it.

We are NOT preppers for Doomsday. However, anyone with half a brain would at one time or another "imagine" what they might do if our country went down the tubes in one way or another.
This does not mean they would dwell on it and prepare for it night and day. But to discuss it is totally another thing. It's called making conversation.

I wouldn't live in a renovated schoolbus , that's for sure.

Nor follow my husband around the country in a tractor trailer truck fitted for Doomsday....with rifles, etc.

We watched that show. However, did not follow through on one single suggestion.

There are actually a lot of rural New Englanders who do trap and hunt and could survive with the best of the survivalists........but we are not one of them......and I don't worry about Doomsday, however, we also do not have our head in the sand re the world situation or our planet in distress.

You'd be surprised how many other interests we do have, without fixating on our mortality.

Peace.

I knew that. You are a well rounded person, you are a frustrated journalist, but it takes one to know one.
