IMHO prepping fluctuates on a regular basis. Prepping won’t stick well by itself. To me if you make it a lifestyle and live your life, but do things regularly(much like folks in the 1800’s did) and it takes on a different look and feel. It also gets you uch more ready for what may come. But regardless what happens some folks that prep will not make it, Some that didn’t will. about all you can do is try and stack the odds in you favor and hope for the best.

Anita, glad to see all that has worked for your son. And all the info you have provided. Good info for new peppers to build any flood/hurricane scenario around. Thanks

The wife and I drove up to a nice spot about 5200′ elevation on the Cherohala Skyway near the line between Tn/NC. The drive up wasn’t bad at all and got on site by 7am. There were a lot of people who spent the night in their cars or camping along the road. We were able to get a spot in our 2nd choice. By the time the event started a little after 1 there was a lot of people at our site which was a good 1/4 mile long. cars parked another 1/4 mile both ways up the road. But I have to say I saw no one acting up in any way. Everyone was very nice and polite, traffic was very well behaved as well. The event itself was fantastic. I had saw a couple of partials before, but never a total eclipse. It was well worth the time and effort. I enjoy photography and was able to get some really good pics during the event. We stayed around for a good hour after it was over and let traffic fall off some. Although by the tie we got off the mountain it was backed up a couple miles getting into the small town there. We took back roads from there and made it almost to the main highway before hitting another nack up. The 4 lane on back toward where we live was double file, but moving steadily most every where except the 2 redlights where police and fire presence was out directing traffic. I never saw anyone acting an idiot the entire day.
I would do it again in a heartbeat. We were well prepped and armed heavier than normal, but never felt any bad feelings. Also met a couple of active duty Air Force that was set up next to us. Wonderful guys and we had a blast talking and sharing our food with them. That made the day even better

Not sure what area you live in, but I have heard of it around here before. I’d like to try some, if you have enough. If you get a bunch of request, feel free to move me down the list. Are you interested in trading something for them? I do seed swaps sometimes

Good review. I’ve looked at these, but since I have a Cold Steel hawk with the hammer poll I’ll probably stick with it. Works well for everything I have used it on so far. But then again a body does need a back up. I’m more of a bushcraft kinda guy as well.
