It's kinda funny when people new to prepping think they are done when they have a couple guns. But there's more... there's sanitation (sanitary waste removal, food safety, hygiene for the girls)... there's food production and preserving. There's heating and energy production. There's shelter. Then you get down to the short rows. What do you do on long winter nights? I asked my grandmother and her 26 brothers and sisters and she didn't know what her parents did on long winter nights. But all her siblings were born in late summer. lol. Board games, maybe some old TV shows or movies. Books to read as well. Do you have home schooling material for kids that will be home? And finally there's the money thing. When the US dollar fails, it will have "sentimental value". People will remember that a gallon of gas is $5 and price gouge you. You will initially be able to buy things will us dollars but eventually that will stop as stores realize they can't exchange dollars for new supplies. Then we'll go to barter or silver for smaller transactions. (continued)
