It's not "late" nor "too late" to start prepping.

Back about 5 years ago, it was somewhat "not serious", my prepping, in fact, it was more so on a level of "make sure we have the bare necessities for living, such as camp shower, stove, fire starters and the basics that any camper would have.

However, with the events from 3 and especially 2 years ago, our efforts intensified a lot. Almost to an "obsession" (not good).

Now it is more so "filling in the blanks" or topping up on some items. ALL of which are important.

But don't think it is "too late", it isn't.

As long as there are products on the shelves and products being delivered via mail, you can prep up.

It is a long term process, no such thing as buying "everything" in one shot. Just not possible, especially with the foods, as they have to be rotated.

Buy what you eat, eat what you buy.

and make sure you have a variety of spices, because the same food over and over is no fun. I had white toast 101 different ways for a long time there and after a few months it just didn't matter how I made it, it was all the same. (While some out there were literally talking BS all over the place. Haven't forgotten those days, am praying for those people.)

But get prepping and you say "Capital City", get the heck out of there, rural is the only way to ensure you have the land needed and a forest nearby, otherwise, you will be stuck and fully dependent on the "supply chain". No excuses, that is reality, you face it or pay the price.
