Hello all. I am a 41yo mother of two teenagers, and wife to a wonderful man that I have been with since we were 18. We live in Manitoba, Canada, in grain and cattle country, on a homestead where we raise our children, and grow a great deal of our own food.
I'm excited to find this forum, as many of the other preparedness forums we've found focus either on only profound events or on critiquing the masses, rather than on common-sense preps for events likely to affect regular families. While I don't discount the possibility of zombies (I've worked in government
) I think job loss, illness, or loss of the main breadwinner in a family is the much more likely EOTWAWKI event for most people in the short term.
We hunt, garden, raise livestock, tend an orchard, process our own food for winter storage, homeschool, try to live simply, and attempt to guide others when they express an interest in how we live.
Now that I've introduced myself, I'm off to explore the forums
