Since the election are preppers cutting back? Or just relaxing a bit? Of the groups I know of, most are still vigilant, but many are having sighs of relief, as though they averted a civil war. I'm interested to know what you guys think.
On another note, this Sunday was an interesting prepper experience. The furnace completely went out, as the heat exchanged failed. So the house was a balmy 54 degrees when I woke up Sunday. After building a big fire in the fireplace and testing a barrel stove I made the house was at 55 degrees and has maintained that. It gives you an appreciation for what they did before furnaces and gas heat. One thing I have learned is I would go through a lot of firewood in a winter.
