Poor Richard's and Mama Donna's Prepping for Plain Folks

WE WELCOME ALL OUR NEW READERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVEN’T PREPPED YET OR MAY HAVE JUST STARTED THINKING ABOUT IT. If you are reading this page for the first time please read our ABOUT section to avoid any confusion. Here’s the short version. If you are looking for babes with guns, camo commandos, zombie hunters, political rants, racial hate ideas, or quasi-religious doomsday stories: LOOK ELSEWARE!         We put together plain, simple information on how to prep for storms, disasters and other possible threats so the average Ann and Andy can prepare with the least cost in time, space, effort and money.   BAGS PACKED AND READY TO GO!!!! This edition will be about bags. Whether you call them GO Bags, GOOD ( Get Out of Dodge) Bags, BOB’s (Bug Out Bags) or 3B’s (Bounce Back Bags), their goal is the same. It is to provide you with the “Seven Sisters of Survival” for some period of time to get you to or away from a given point. For thos...

But now it seems calling a “protester” that burns down a store a rioter is taking some kind of political side and makes you a bad person for saying it.             I’m going to refer to something we wrote for one of our earliest editions some 5 plus years ago.          ...

A BIT OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE’RE ABOUT             Our goal is to help guide the “Average Ann and Andy” to have a fighting chance in case  some natural or man-made emergency event disrupts their normal living for some period of time.             We are NOT experts, nor claim to be. We are just plain folk on a budget like you.  (If your budget is “fixed” you are usually broke, LOL!) We’ve seen a few events in our time, learned from them and other sources and know a bit from experience and want to share it all with you. We will present options for you that will cost the least in money, time, space and effort.             We will NOT present or deal in any political views, radical or racial slants, or any kind of “hate and hurt” positions. While we may from time to time discuss various defensive techniques t...
