Live hour East of Springfield been prepping for several years. Have a Large family children of all ages. Lived off grid for a year to see if we could do it in all seasons basically camped in tents.(about 5 yrs ago) We learned allot. Try to grow our own food raise our own animals. Always trying to learn. We consider are selves balanced in the things we believe and do. We are trying to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Looking to meet like minded people but to let you know have reached out in the past and been burned a few times, so a little cautious so you can respond and lets start a dialog.
