We're not really preppers. But it's just worked out that we could actually live quite comfortably without power for an extended amount of time. We heat with wood and have an unlimited supply, and we can cook on the woodstove. We have a great well and have a means of easily getting water out of it...it's 385' deep. We even have an ample supply of propane at any given time and easy access to more, and the means of getting it from a big tank into little tanks to power various items. Wife is a trained medical professional. There will be plenty of wildlife for at least a while.

The problem is we're just as vulnerable as anyone else to those who'd want to harm us if good times turn bad. I have no illusions of surviving much longer than anyone else, to be honest.
