Welcome from SC. You found the best forum on the WWW for real world experienced based prep. Grab a branch and hang on!
Well, a half@$$ prepper is perhaps ahead of the unprepared, provided that one commits to, and implements a program of improvement. Do your risk / threat assessment and cut your prepper cloth accordingly.
@btlook11 Welcome! Folks from everywhere on here. I'm in North Idaho. Lots to learn and lots of experience here on damn near every subject under the sun. Have a look around and join in the conversations.
Welcome from The Old North State. Plenty to learn here and lots of very helpful and experienced folks too. Dig around in the archives, look under the fallen leaves and climb around on all the branches. There's a lot of interesting stuff and site navigation features that I'm still learning about. Might be because I wasn't raised with all this new technology. I'm just an old Carolina story teller who likes old stuff that works.
