Field Notes

Being prepared involved a lot of things. Not only are there basic survival items, but there are also niceties.

The key to mastery is through effort and trying hard.

Freedom is more than just a few fireworks on July 4th, or our military members.

We spent a lot of time looking at the world around us today.

When you don’t practice skills you have learned, they will fade in your mind.

Working at something again and again is how you get better.

Everyone hates chores. And life is full of them. But maybe you shouldn’t hate them so much.

Nothing is done the way it used to be. Quality took a dive.

The best way to be prepared is to start small. When the pile of things to do is so big, you don’t want to even try. Instead take it one tiny step at a time using the supplies you already have.

Every day we are at war with the forces around us that are after influencing our families. Sometimes we just need to step back and call it good enough.
