I hear you...Little chance of me following the sheeple into want-buying...I'm a need-buyer. I know Cali got smashed too, a while back. Same prep-ethos needs to be applied everywhere whether it's for wildfire, flooding, avalanche, drought, house-fire, electrocution, drowning, power-outage, civil unrest...Being prepared can make the difference.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.
It is really cool that everybody always thinks about prepping afterwards.
Yes I know, too little too late. In the case if the fires here it wouldn't necessarily have saved houses but it would have meant less strain on the authorities and some peace of mind. In a worse situation it could be life or death.
In any situation being able to fend for yourself and having the tools for survival is of the utmost importance...
