I posted this in the Outdoor forum
but also am specifically interested in what my fellow Oklahoman s have to say
thanks
I lived in the state of Washington for a few years - in the Seattle/Redmond area.
The state had a very visible 3 day survival program that they pushed very consistently and persistently due to the possibility of natural disaster scenario.
Earthquake being the chief focus; 3 days of food, water, essentials were the main idea. Online instructional s, giant billboards on buses, public service commercials.
In retrospect - this may be what started me on the prepper path more seriously - but the blizzard of '75 in Omaha where I was stuck in an office for 3 days with no spare clothes, sleeping bag etc was a eye opener also.
What started your 'path' as a Prepper?

I started prepping in high school. A good buddy came down with the bull headed clap and it almost killed him. Since then I avoid all truck stops Patrickcudd frequents and always carry an  old bicycle inner tube to  use as a condom along with a triple dose of amoxicillin.

I too am from WA state, and have been prepping for as long as I can remember. My Dad and Grandfather are both the prepping type.

just the way my family raised us kids; taught us to live like indians so if we ever had to go back to living like indians we could.

the thing I miss the most is A/C; fucking summer time is brutal.

Yeah, I guess you can't put a window unit AC in a windowless teepee.  You could cut a window out but then other Indians would make fun of you...it's a no win scenario.  *gotta go, the AC is cranked down so far in here I need a second blanket*

I'm no prepper....I just like to be prepared.

I did it the easy way; I found a chick that owns a house with good a/c then started going out with her

that's not the easy way.

electric bills only hurt a while, not a constant nagging pain that only disappears at work.

we get along great; guess I forgot to mention she's mute; the flapping of her hands and waving of her arms when she's signing is a certain indication she's angry though.
