I am at the beginning of prepping, but after reading this realize I'm not sure if I want to be one of the survivors if it means being in a FEMA camp because my hubby doesn't have his insulin. Heavy thinking, and leads to heavy preparing on many facets.

I was informed by the wife that she couldn't stand and use the knives because it hurt her back to stand there.
