Hi everyone
8:14:41 PM
Josh K7ZIM
Hi ken
I am complacent in the fact that i have limited space for preps. So im constantly battling with space and my need ro prep. I have a good stock but with the appartment, it really is tough to do.
8:18:00 PM
Kg7mzo
For me it's time and money
8:19:05 PM
Ken K7KBJ
Josh, look on our list of past radio nets where we discussed hiding your preps in plain sight. Might give you some ideas
8:19:29 PM
Josh K7ZIM
Yes, money is an issue. Time we can make usually, but time is money.
Oh i have done that ken. Its what to do when space is a premium. Lol!
8:20:14 PM
Kg7mzo
There might be Jerry's presentation on apartment prepping in the information archives too
8:21:26 PM
Josh K7ZIM
All the beds are stuffed under, closets full. If i had the space behind the couch it would be full to. Haha!
8:22:05 PM
Kg7mzo
Definitely get in touch with Jerry. He has apartment prepping down
8:22:33 PM
Josh K7ZIM

Ken;  Thanks for posting the audio and the chat room text.

I missed this session (nap time was a little too long..)

For us, it's not so much complacency but lack of funds to pursue the items in our prepper plans.  It is hard to prioritize all the things that I think are important.

Looking at it another way, there are some events which are much less likely to happen in my lifetime and I suppose I do get "complacent" about preps which are specific to those events.

Like flooding for instance, we are about 40 feet above the valley floor, so it would take a Biblical size flood to put us at risk.  Smaller floods, which we have had in our area, will cause some degree of economic trouble for the city, which we might experience.  We are prepped for that kind of disaster.
