Howdy again sir markkujantunen! I so agree about the Amish, I've done quite a bit of research on them since I lived close to their communities in 2 states, I've done several posts about them too because of their self sufficiency and my admiration for their independence.
I also agree about the storage tanks. The ones I was referring to are the ones at the country retreats, compounds and bunkers. They're thick in West Central Texas because all the millionaires are building them out there for when things collapse.
Are you a prepper?
Building a fuel storage tank may be a sensible thing to do because there are many kinds of situations in which it could be needed short of a total collapse of civilization.
I'm not a prepper. It's much less of a thing here (Finland), possibly because we don't have the kind of extreme weather events relatively common in Texas and much of the US Midwest.
Howdy today sir markkujantunen! I hope Finland never has need of prepping. Most preppers here believe that a total collapse of society is coming either from nuclear or EMP attacks or triggered by a financial collapse.
I know the business of building lavish bunkers and hardened homes and shelters is exploding in growth all over the States. Hopefully we'll never need them but who knows. Thanks so much for your great comments!
