As women, we strive for survival for our family. As preppers, we prepare a little more than most other women. Part of that is to be able to handle problems and catastrophes as they happen and keep on moving.
I haven't cried, I haven't yelled, and from the outside I have it all together. But inside I am angry, mourning the loss of our livestock, and fearful of the kind of world that is coming and the s hasn't even hit the f yet! A young cow, a bull, and two steer calves can create a lot of meals for many years. Those meals will now not be had by my family.
I feel guilty that I can't just shake this off and move along. Is it wrong to need to vent a little? Am I right to be angry and hurt? Is paranoid taking it a little too far? If they came that far into our property to get to the cattle, they must have seen what else we've got going on.
I have to consider the "big name" delivery truck drivers that have been making regular deliveries to my "off the beaten path" home. Yesterday, one admired something in our yard and asked if it was for sale. Who does that?
I will wait until tomorrow to call the sheriff, if we call them at all. I'd rather maintain our privacy. At the same time, I feel like I should report the theft. I am just on the fence about it. I don't think there's much of a chance of recovering them, and having the locals out in our business isn't too appealing either.
The main thing is I feel that I need to handle this as I would any other bad situation in a SHTF scenario. If I get rattled about this, how am I going to keep calm about looters a year from now?
Perhaps I am too worried about being too worried. Does that make sense? I was just hopng someone would have something smarter to say than I can currently come up with.
At the very least, I wanted to warn others out there that this kind of crud is going on. I guess it's back to prepping, and determining better security.
Thanks.
