Hello to everyone and thanks for letting me join your group! I grew up in California in the suburbs. I am a disabled veteran and have been prepping for 10 years. I started when I moved to Idaho in a rural community but soon learned that the winters were harsh with a lot of snow and a very short growing season. So I moved to Southwestern Missouri 4 years ago. The land here is dirt cheap and I was able to acquire a cabin and acreage in a very small farming community. I've spent years learning to garden and learning to raise livestock. I have been storing extra food each month, stockpiling weapons and ammo, first aid suppliers, batteries, flashlights and other necessary items. I lack experience in hunting, survival and tactical moves. I'd like to go off grid but have yet to acquire solar. My first years here in Missouri were getting fencing done and upgrades plus building barn and other structures. Looking to learn from you all.
