My background:
I was raised (to a small degree) by an extreme libertarian constitutionalist, who was an expert in survival and nuclear radiological defense. My dad, no longer with us, was THE guy to have along during an apocalypse. A Jack of all trades, he was a genius and even invented a role playing game in the 80’s called “Survive”. Lol. He instilled in me that boy scout mantra of always be prepared. That said, I gave up that “survivalist” mindset many years ago, but never gave up the Boy Scout…
I’ve worked in many emergency preparedness fields throughout my career, from an emergency responder (fire/EMS/police, etc) to actual gub-mint “Emergency Management”. I’m well rounded in my abilities, but I have a healthy respect for the knowledge and skills I don’t yet possess.
While I’ve always had lots of “gear” (Boy Scout mindset), I experienced an awakening (like most people) with the events of 2020. These events really showcased the need for more formalized “preps”. I worked to shore up food, security, communication, and a network of close knit people for immediate support
