Preparedness

Focusing on only one type of preparedness is more likely to lead us to failure over a balanced approach.

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

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.

It’s important to prepare ahead of time. To make checklists. To have a plan. Because then at least if someone is freaking out, the plan can still guide them to safety.

We often spend our days building up our preps, but we don’t take the time to test them in a real-world situation. We might have the gear, but if we are lacking the skills we will fail anyway.

We were shopping in Walmart the other day, just about ready to check out when the power went out.

Disasters can come in any form. It also seems like more and more natural disasters are happening around us. And in places we would not have expected before.

No matter what you do in life, it pays to be organized.

The new year has started, and the world just keeps getting crazier.
