The last three years have been a little slice of hell, but I'm still alive sort of... 500$ more, and I'll be out of debt again until the next disaster destroys everything I hold dear. boo f-bomb hoo, it sucks being me, but YOU get to read about it while I attempt to rebuild my life and an utterly shattered prepping program. a brand new army surplus store just moved into town, I needed to get rid of all that Vietnam-era stuff anyway. so for all you new guys just getting started, I've had to do this three times in my life now, I know what works, and I've learned what I need and what I don't. forget what you want when prepping or you'll just end up selling it for half price when life goes down the poop pipe.
