My favorite site forever...

Hello, my name is Keisha, and I am a prepper.

So, what is a prepper? It is someone who prepares for the uncertainty of the future. And there are a lot of ways in which the future is uncertain. The economy, bird (avian) flu, pandemic, joblessness just to name a few.

Proverbs 6: 6-11 Go to the ant you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep - So shall your poverty come on you like a robber, and your need like an armed man

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I changed the way I was shopping. I took better advantage of sales and learned to use my grocery budget more efficiently. I was looking for sites in relation to food storage and was hitting dead ends so started searching for "survivalism". Of course, I found a lot of male-oriented sites about shooting and camping and stuff-the guy's side of things. Not that I don't know how to shoot, but you know what I mean. You could smell the testosterone, and that wasn't what I was looking for. I was just about to give up for the night when I found Mrs. Survival.

It was exactly what I was looking for! Practical advice on all kinds of survival issues (even shooting and camping) from the women's point of view. Not that men aren't welcomed-they are embraced, if subject to a bit of good natured teasing. Mrs. S. has a fantastic forum, with areas like "In The Kitchen, The Heart of Our Homes" and "Pinching Pennies", there is something for just about anyone that has a little bit of the Modern Traditional Wife inside of them. The discussions on canning alone will keep you busy for days if you're into that. Natural remedies, crafts, home schooling, and homesteading are all active topics.

Stop by and visit sometime. I'm MommyOfSeven there, and I'd love to see you soon!
