Some say it all boils down to what you are prepping for – some sort of national emergency, oil crises, natural disaster, mass civil unrest, pandemic, etc. No matter the reason, it doesn’t really matter unless you are always ready to bug out.

Plants with really good, healthy soil can fight off a lot of diseases and overcome leaf damage from pests without problems.

My wife and I had never thought about living in a TEOTWAWKI scenario, except when we’d watched movies about it. We’d never thought about owning firearms, even though we had 5 children to protect
