I don't know what will happen,or where my family will end up at.I have been
stocking up on supplies and learning new skills.I have been learning to can
foods and shoot a gun.I have been reading survival manuals and trying to lose
weight.
The hardest thing for me is letting go of my dreams.I have spent a lot of time
and money on my wedding business. Now,I have to go through my supplies and
see if anything can be of use. So far,only the candles,matches,chaffing dish fuel,
plastic tubs(silk flowers are stored in),maybe my white tablecloths(bandages),
black tablecloths(blackout windows),napkins(bandages)could be used.
All the rest is of no practical use and will end up on the auction block.Now,I
wish I had the money I spent on these items to buy supplies,ammo...
I would like to hear from others on what they are giving up for their families
survival.
