It kinda pisses me off that people call those who can care for themselves and prepare for uncertain times survivalists and conspiracy theorist. Looking back through history people like your Mom and Dad would be called normal. I grew up during a time when government wasn't so invasive. We grew and hunted hunted our food, milled our own lumber, built our own homes, tended to our sick. My family comes from small business and farming stock. We were the authority in our own lives. I'm grateful for my family too!
