Welcome Mud Dog! Can I ask how you can not be prepping for the fast approaching food shortages? Not to mention the chaos, riots and total discourse that will happen because of lack of food?

Yep...
The Wife and I just started food prepping around 4 months ago and wish we'd started sooner.
The best thing I can say about our prepping situation is we pretty much already had all of the hardware for prepping and only had to add a few more items.
And the fact that we have enough money to buy what is needed as far as food goes.
In the last four months we've added to our preps every single day whether it's hardware we were lacking or food.
I'm just now starting to feel more comfortable about our situation.

My best advice for you Mud Dog is to get started as soon as possible.
Things are looking far more sketchy than they did just 12 months ago.

It does seem a little weird signing up on a prepper board while having no interest in prepping.

You are doing great on your prepping Tex! If you don’t have wheat berries stocked up yet, Azure Standard is a good place to get them from. Read this morning that “the world’s stock of wheat is 10 weeks”. I’m going to purchase more. Have a lot, but I don’t think I can grow wheat…and certainly don’t want to run out. Working on year 2 for wheat and rice.

Welcome from overseas. Keep prepping, no matter for what, just prep. #It is better to have and not need...as to need and not have...Prep.

We've been working our buts off to get prepared for whatever comes our way.

Your first post kinda made it sound that way.

 

[DrHenley]

You're first post kinda made it sound that way.

I took it to mean he wasn't prepping for any one specific scenario but prepping for multiple scenarios.

Exactly dude thank you.

 

[TexPrep]

Exactly dude thank you.

My bad.
I took it to mean you hadn't started.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

As did I…but he never corrected us. Just got overly emotional.

After re-reading my initial posts I can see how the confusion started as I was not clear and can see how it was taken to mean I had not started.... Sorry to all in the thread about that.

Just got overly emotional.

Retirement did that to me.... Do not retire your whole life changes when you do! Even my wife has noticed the change....

Welcome Mud Dog, from a top secret location that everyone knows about.
What areas of prepping are you lacking in? Anything specific you need help with?

I have only made venison jerky in a small electric dehydrator.

As someone who has been retired for 7 yrs., I understand that. I just can’t figure out how I work harder than I did when working.
I am sorry I jumped down your throat on another thread. Welcome to the forum.
