I am very impressed with your prepping. I am a single lady in my early 60 and have had a lot of questions, but after seeing your compand set up I was speechless... Would like to talk more about some of the items that you have and where I could purchase also.. I love your dog..I also have a pet and am worried because I don't see many preppers including their pets in their plan to survive..That bothers me..I would not walk off and leave my pet, they are like my children to me.. As I said I would like to talk further...
