Is there something about living off the grid that prevents people from accessing soap?... I mean, these alternative life-stylers stink pretty bad

:lol: That's just them flushing the toxins from their bodies with the help of the power of crystals.

Maybe someone should tell them that ice is a crystal and they can bathe with that

I hate these threads as i am an epic fail.... Maybe when i have had another 20 years paying off the mortgage, when the kids a old enough to dress themselves my wife can go and work, and my parents have passed away so I can have a small portion of their PPOR I may have a fighting chance... In the meantime, i'm up sh!t creek.

Slow and steady wins the race.

How do you manage the extra expense of prepping when you are already cash strapped? After all, it is like buying for two households. When you are cost conscious you are able to purchase more. I am going to share my experience with you.

I am a single Mom of three and started prepping about a year ago.

I thought I lived on the greatest nation on Earth. I am angry that I have to plan for the end of the world scenario. That preppers are considered dangerous people. That we are considered terrorists. How did it get to this point? I am upset that this is my childrens' reality. That they can not be as carefree as they should be. That America used to be the nation all others strived to be. But secretly there has been a plot against us. That the powers that be (are) want us wiped off the planet. That is the part I have a hard time with. This is just plain wrong, and I know the strong shall survive, being prepared makes you strong. So quietly go about preparing. We have an obligation to survive and take care of our loved ones, no matter what may come.

In my country the State thieves now (from this month onwards) forces anyone that isnt a business/doesnt have a shop that sells stuff on any place (door to door, public, private) to ask permission and buy an electronic card. Excempted are sales at consumers' home for less than 250 euro total per consumer.
It just illustrates how the State thieves try to make it harder to escape their theft.
