Hey all! Tonight I'm going to talk about what am I prepping for. My son's both initially were like, mom why are you doing this? This was about 2 years ago. Now my youngest is into it as much as I am. But to answer the question of why, well alot of reasons actually. I'm not like a one specific kind of event happening kind of prepper. Whatever I can afford and it seems like something that could come in handy, then I'll buy it. Obviously I get the basics, food, water,medical, but other things too, like: tools(hand in particular), things that I think may become barter items, etc.

Sure, I think the possibility of an economic collapse it likely, but also natural disasters,martial law,etc. As a mom especially, when I think of "what if" scenarios, of all of us not having access to water, food, medical supplies, yeah, that is really a huge factor in my prepping. And for those who question, why waste money on that, well, what about those, who think nothing of dropping say: $50 on dinner or the movies for 2, manicures or salon visits every 3 weeks, going to a concert,a night of drinking with friends, that nice new outfit you had to have,etc. To each their own, I don't knock anyone for doing that, I just prefer to spend mine on things I may need, not want. I think of it as an investment or insurance for the future, my children especially.  Mrs. Prepper
