Surviving

There is a movement afoot. It's a prep movement, and it no longer includes "crazies" who are trying to build a fort against the onslaught of the government and their neighbors. It's ordinary, everyday people trying to live more sustainable lifestyles and getting prepared for whatever nature or the world economy may throw their way.

Some of these folks are in small, efficient cabins and are working toward living off-grid. Others are using RVs, campers, and motor homes. They are making sure their 5th wheel insurance is paid up, but they are also making sure their RVs are more self-sufficient than ever, including adding solar panels and battery banks, composting toilets, and water filtration systems.

In a sense, I'm among them. I live in a small house and I raise much of my own food in an organic manner. I've got a generator, solar panel, batteries, and propane stoves. I've even got kerosene lamps. If the power goes out, or if I can't afford electricity, I can still survive.

What about you?
