Yesterday I budgeted buying a years worth of food from the Mormons, the local Mormon cannery ended up being over 50% cheaper than beprepared.com.

Today I bought 2 "cubes" of water at Sam's club, which is another 10 gallons. I started converting the "coat closet for the rear entrance" into a emergency food storage closet which currently has some canned food, MREs, and about 20 gallons of water.

Tomorrow I will probably buy a compound bow and arrow or crossbow. I used to really enjoy archery when I was in high school. I'm becoming more motivated to provide "harvesting solutions".

If it sounds like I'm doing a lot to prepare, its not normal. I joined this forum about 12 or 18 months ago and I was a "normal" person (read: relatively unprepared). I've been slowly increasing the pace and putting more and more into being prepared, whether it be knowledge, equipment, or supplies.
