Hi I am from Northern Maine. And started becoming a prepper about 5 years now.I started to watch the economy.
And saw it was getting scary.Prices of fuel was going sky high.Food prices were going up and things were definitely in trouble with our country.I started a you tube station I am (https://www.youtube.com/user/maineroses).Starting watching how to get prepared in a emergency situation.
Like making sure you get extra water,can and prep food,get extra medical supplies.built a stock pile.Have flash lights ready.Have a extra source of heat in a emergency situation.So I got right on it,I took it to a extreme.I started using my dehydration and drying things up and sealing them with a seal a meal.
I started canning and saving food.I started watching sale's and stocking up on extra food.Went to dollar store and got cheap medical supplies.
Then i worked at a local food cupboard and got extra veggies and herbs and dried them out.
Then I a always made sure i had a full tank of gas and cell phone charged.
I planted extra apple trees,fruit trees, and any perennial vegetables what would always come up.
Then I started becoming a avid couponer.I shop for free or almost free.
I got hooked on saving money and paying down debt.The way our economy is I thought it could not hurt !
I am still on my journey one had a a time.I shop for free and get paid to shop with ibotta,shop kick,check out 51 and saving star. I am not completely off grid homestead.I do have electric,which I hope to get solar.I heat with wood, have my home paid off.I have a cell phone for calls.But i save money and deduce my credit card bills.I get things we need with out out of pocket expenses.If you would like to learn how to save money or be more frugal and have more in today's world come visit my youtube channel I am
