What have you done to Prep Today?

This is a habit I got myself into a long time ago. It's a fairly simple principle - if you do at LEAST one small thing to prep every single day, it will all add up very quickly! Following this principle, I make sure that every day I've done something to prep. It might be as simple as fill a 2 liter bottle with water or doing a quick visual inventory and making a mental checklist of what I need to pick up at the store soon. Other (funner) days it's something much more complex like stocking up on medical supplies, buying another gas can, filling it and putting it with the others.

Family BOB Example: The Lances

A local friend of mine recently posted his notes about creating a set of emergency bags (<a title="Definition of BOB - Bug Out Bag" href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/glossary/#BOB">BOB</a> - <a title="Definition of 72 hour kit" href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/glossary/#72-hour">72 Hour Kit</a>) for his family. It's great to see a friend getting his family so ready, and even better when they can share such excellent information. In his example, I think he does a great job of presenting how he will get his young sons to carry a small part of their own gear, without overtaxing them. I know all younger families like myself worry about how to 'carry enough' for the younger children, and this example shows great thought in dealing with that concern. Check out <a title="72 hour kit" href="http://www.thelances.net/james/2008/11/emergency_preparedness_-_72-ho.html">the Lances BOB setup</a>. Several pictures showing all the included gear, in and out of the bags.

Preparedness Christmas: Stocking Stuffer Ideas

This will be the first of a couple themed posts around having a "Preparedness Christmas". With world and U.S. conditions being what they are, if you're like me the last thing you can stomach right now is the idea of spending a bunch of money on silly toys and other frivolous items that will be either lost or destroyed (and somewhat unappreciated) within a week or so of Christmas. Christmas gift giving is a great time to think about sharing the security and comfort of being prepared with the rest of your family.

Review: Costco Emergency Supply Kit Deal

Review: Costco Emergency Supply Kit Deal

In the recent Costco mailer, some friends and I all noticed that a "72-hour" kit that Costco carries had a limited time online discount available.  The $60 kit was/is available for a limited time for $40 with shipping (<a href="http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11314388&amp;search=344593&amp;Mo=0&amp;cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&amp;lang=en-US&amp;Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&amp;Sp=S&amp;N=5000043&amp;whse=BC&amp;Dx=mode+matchallpartial&amp;Ntk=Text_Search&amp;Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&amp;Ne=4000000&amp;D=344593&amp;Ntt=344593&amp;No=0&amp;Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&amp;Nty=1&amp;topnav=&amp;s=1">Costco 72 hour kit sale</a>), so I decided to check it out. One more 72 hour kit could be good for my family, and if it was nice, would make a great gift to give to some family members and friends.
