By the way, KTee, having three of you to fend off marauders is far better than the number I have here - which is one. Me. LOL Well, actually, me and however many angels God chooses to send to help. I pray and expect things like someone coming toward a door to do harm suddenly and inexplicably flies feet up, landing hard and breaking a leg. Oops - marauding plan permanently disrupted. Things like that. God is still in the miracle business, you know.

Except in the worst times, one of you can be sleeping while two of you are on watch - perfect! You might be able to develop more of a group - there are a few good sources online.

I want to recommend to everyone here Bear Independent on both YouTube and Patreon. The best is on Patreon, of course, and I would not consider missing either one. You can learn anything and everything from him having to do with food storage, prepping, security, communications, livestock, gardening, MAGs and tribes, everything. There's even a forum for members, and I know for a fact there are people near you, KTee, looking for more people.

Check out Bear Independent, people. You will be SOOOO glad you did! Be sure to mention that I invited you, please.

[Edited to add that any lamebrains joining the yt of Bear will also find themselves flying quickly - stupidity unwelcome and not tolerated.]
