Most of you know which show I am talking about. Doomsday Prepper. I couldn’t not watch. And for the most part, I was okay with the show. Except the doomsday part. I hate that term. Like I said, I was okay with the show. Until the episode that premiered Tuesday night. I know the producers are trying to make everything a little more extreme and reality TV show-ish. I follow some of the preppers shown on the show through YouTube…
To be prepared, I have four things I always like to have done. These might surprise you, but in cases of emergency and disaster they are necessary. 1. Always, always stay caught up on washing dishes.

Last year the landlord had spray insulation put on the walls to help seal in the room after I had caulked the room and painted sealer on the walls. This still gets pretty cool inside which makes it perfect for a root cellar. Nothing fancy. It holds my three things of potatoes (one is hiding under…
Last time I wrote this post, I gave you all ideas on how to prep with little or no money and how you could find great deals or items for free. Then I got to thinking:“What about prepping with no money at all? Because, girlfriend, you are broke and in this situation.”I talk to myself. A lot. Nevermind.I had to ponder this myself for awhile.
