Reply to: What was the catalyst that compelled you to begin prepping? Posted November 28, 2022

I became interested in solar energy and sustainability in the early eighties leading up to the anniversary of Earth Day. I originally found the idea of living off the grid to be good economically and a way not to fund utilities in my youth. A move to a hurricane prone area 20 years ago began initial preparing for the all too frequent weather storms and the down-grid and limited supplies that occurred with each storm. This rekindled my interest in off-grid living and as I did more research on other aspects of survival; I then, began studying on security and defensive protection of my family, as well.
