About This Podcast
We all agree that being prepared for an emergency is essential. That's why preparing a "Bug Out Bag" that you can grab and go in an emergency can be a lifesaver. It also opens the door to deeper dives in planning and prepping that can be critical. I began posting information here over 10 years ago, and I regularly update it. I've also gone beyond the traditional products. Because creating "the bag" is just the first step to being prepared, not the final product. We now know we each need at least 30 days' worth of essential supplies, like food, water, and medicine. We must be our own first responders.
I cover topics like:
*Products I both use and trust.
*Often forgotten items you need to have in your bag.
*Psychological and Emotional planning for the family
*Planning for Kids and Seniors
*What to do when Plan "A" fails?
This includes a curated list of links from various sources, too. I'll be sharing and updating links to sites I buy from and products I use. So we are clear, I have no sponsors, so the opinions, both good and bad, are my own.
Join me as I begin the 11th year/10th season of productions in an ongoing series of podcasts for you and your family to use and to share with others as you build a community. Is this fun or what?
