Well, God first. We have our retirement home plans and that isn’t really “prepping” but we have decided to move the moving timetable way up. If all goes right we will be in our smallish trailer full time by mid-June to try to beat the economy/political situation that may come up. The housing market here in the Springs is just nuts and we want to take advantage of that and not lose the opportunity. I will not make a fortune on the house, but it will be enough to position us to seriously consider retirement. House won’t be set until October due to demand and then another 6 to 8 weeks to finish. Bu we feel the need to get out of our current home as soon as we can.
As many of y’all, our new 10 acres are out in the country. I would not call it the boon, we have neighbors a lot closer than Tim does. But it is far enough to get us out of the junk of the city. We are a good 30 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs. Also far enough to shelter. Yes, after this past year we watch what food is available and ensure we don’t run out of staples.
I have enough guns and ammo that I am comfortable. I love to shoot, just don’t go often enough. When ammo is available, I buy, but I don’t hoard. Just frustrating to see how many do. Because of the construction I have ended up with 2 generators. We will also have the shop before the house, so we can expand and spread out. We can also use it to adapt if we need to.
But to be honest, I hate thinking like this. I don’t want to feel this way. I don’t want to see the riot of Jan at the Capitol just like it makes my heart ache to see reruns of 9- 11.
Very interesting question Eric, very interesting.
