TODAY'S TOPIC: CATEGORIES OF PREPPING
In a grid down SHTF situation:
If you have a hundred guns & a million rounds of ammo,
but no food & water, you will likely die
If you have five years of food & water, but no first aid
or security, you will likely die.
We must be balanced, and address every catagory.
Start broad - what will be needed in every event
Then narrow down to the specific threats
