First and foremost I must say Reaver is a crazy sob and I'm glad to have'm. After many talks about general subjects that tends to create forums such as this he directed me here. I lurked for all of 20 mins before realizing if there is a better place for me I've yet to find it.
Situation: Wife and 3 adopted kids. They are all in the dark. My wife will turn a blind eye to our current situation until I'm dragging her to the BoV after frantically stocking supplies into it. The kids are 6, 7 and 9 the two eldest are boys.
I've just recently started prepping (better late than never) I've just traded off my beloved 1990 300zx manual 2 seater for the first short wheel based 4x4 suv I could get my hands on. Unfortunately it was a 1994 ford explorer eddie bauher<-(?) edition. its not bad and will get the job done (I guess).
After acquiring the 3 more mouths to feed the "roughin it" scenario ensued. Ive eaten more than my share of pinto,pink,northern, and every other bean you can imagine.
With money being an asset that flows from my pockets into every direction there is little left for preparation and supplies.
Intuition and resourcefulness has gotten me quite far in my initial preparation.
I'm currently gathering whats needed for a nice lil survive-all trailer which is my concern atm, any and all suggestions are welcome.
Once again. I'm Crow!!! (pronounced Cr-ow I'm not a bird.)
