My name is Frank  Buffone.  I currently live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.   My background is in horticulture and natural resource conservation.

I've been prepping my whole life without realizing it.  I grew up in the countryside of upstate New York.  My family had a half acre garden in which we grew many different vegetables along with  several fruit  trees on the property.  My mom would can and freeze enough vegetables, sauces, and preserves to last us till the next season.  I've been prepping seriously for the last 20 yrs.  For me it's about living your life, learning how to live, and how to stay alive.   This isn't about preparing for doomsday or any end of the world scenario.  It's about a lifestyle choice to learn how to survive in this world.   It's about gathering the tools and knowledge that expands your experience and extends your existence.   We get complacent with everything available to us these days.  Having the knowledge and resources to provide yourself with everything you need to thrive will ensure your survival of anything.   I will try to cover every aspect of what is required to stay alive and thriving no matter what the conditions.  I started this business to provide the best source of information and products everyone needs to become self-reliant and self-sustaining.  I welcome serious input to help me in this goal.
