Been lurking this board for quite a while. First off...a big thanks for the wealth of info I have obtained from all of you! :thumb:
I am married with three daughters (3.5 yrs and 1.5 yr old twins). My current goal is to stock enough preps to cover us for 6 months. Our primary plan is to stay put (we are on 2 acres...somewhat close to mid-sized city...but secluded enough to be adequate for our purposes), but I do have some supplies in case we need to BO. Long-term goal is 12+ months of supplies and a more secluded BOL. All in due time...
In the mean time...I would be tremendously grateful if you could review the supplies I have put together and offer any thoughts/suggestions you might have on major gaps or areas I need to bolster assuming the six-month goal.
In the list below...I have noted what I currently have in stock and what I plan on acquiring in the next few months (to get me to the 6-month goal).
Thanks in advance!!
