Yep. Matter of getting stuff while it is still available. My only favoring of the bailout was just a bit more time to prepare.

Whether or not to borrow is not for me to comment; but if you 'know' that you
are to borrow, now is the time. Credit drying up. ...bobford

My wife and I have actually been toying with getting a loan,
and buying
up the rest of what we need for our storage. if nothing
happens,
great, we pay it off. If it does, well, I'll have
plenty of food.
and stuff.

I won't comment on the other stuff, but I certainly
wouldn't call you a
"wannabe". You've accomplished a lot there
over the years. I remeber
when you
were debating sending son to regular high school, now
he's on a real
big boat,
not in jail. If you just have a big garden and shoot a
freezer full of
deer,
=0
A> you have veggies and meat.

Maybe , like me, you feel like you could have done more,
already. But,
don't
diregard what you actually have done ...bobford
