Ryan Prep

Self employed, suburban dad, who started prepping for my young family over 15 years ago. I like a good conspiracy theory, but I don't let it drive me or bother me. I've found that when things get weird in the world, I don't panic because I'm "prepped." I love talking about beer, business and freedom too.
