I grew up in rural Montana, learning the ropes of self-sufficiency from a young age. My father, a seasoned outdoorsman and skilled carpenter, taught me the importance of being prepared for any situation, whether it's a blizzard, wildfire, or economic downturn. After serving as a firefighter in my early twenties, I witnessed firsthand the critical need for preparedness in emergency situations, which solidified my passion for prepping.
