Figured I would though some change ups at you guys this week so skipping the typical Monday feedback show for a back to basics episode.  I think sometimes we get too deep in the weeds with advanced topics and forget to return to the fundamentals from time to time, with the most basic needs.  So today I am going to basically interview myself by answering 12 questions that will get most people in the right mindset about prepping.

This should be a good show for everyone.  It should help new people get off to a great start, help the seasoned peppper realize where a few things may have slipped and even be a great show to share with people who say, “why do I need to prep anyway, nothing ever happens here anyway”, I mean that is the first question we answer today.

Join Me Today as I Discuss…

1. Why should I bother to prep, it is safe where I live and nothing ever happens
