Swine flu is going away! Swine Flu is man-made! Swine Flu is a natural mutation! Oh, we offended the pigs. It's H1N1! Does anyone know what's actually going on??? Does it matter? Whatever the truth is about this H1N1 (formerly known as Swine Flu) virus there is ONE THING we can each know for sure. Has the last week caused you to think very seriously about your Pandemic Preparedness? Have you reviewed and identified holes in your preps? Have you done something about it? Are you Ready for Anything?

Pandemic Preparedness - DIY Sanitization
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1647" title="san-prods" src="/images/uploads/2009/04/san-prods-277x184-custom.jpg" alt="san-prods" width="277" height="184" />Pandemic Preparedness is one of the simpler types of prepping - mostly because it relies heavily on you already being prepped with other things like food storage, water storage, etc. A major component of Pandemic Prepping is preparation for quarantine. Sanitation is a major part of Pandemic and quarantine preparedness. While sanitzation is always important, during quarantine, sanitization will be extremely important in order to keep everyone healthy. In this post we're going to talk about killing germs and how to do it safely with household products.

I also habitually carried <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>some</em></span> Pandemic Prep stuff in my Day Bag and my Go Bag. But in the last two days, due to the swine flu breakout/scare, I've decided to put together a hardened kit to carry, primarily so I don't squish my N95 Masks. <!--more-->

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1602" title="viramask_n99esc3501" src="/images/uploads/2009/04/viramask_n99esc3501-324x185-custom.jpg" alt="viramask_n99esc3501" width="324" height="185" />Since my post from yesterday regarding <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/04/pandemic-preparedness/">Pandemic Preparedness in light of the current Swine Flu outbreak</a>, I've talked to several other preppers and want to provide our readers with more information. Specifically I want to share some other/better mask information, some great links for info on the virus spreading and to discuss sheltering in/quarantine a bit more.

Pandemic Preparedness - Swine Flu Outbreak
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1584 scissors-resample" title="pandemic-troops" src="/images/uploads/2009/04/pandemic-troops.jpg" alt="pandemic-troops" width="334" height="214" />With the current <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE53N22820090426">Swine Flu scare coming out of Mexico</a> and popping up here and there in the United States, it is prudent to become familiar with the situation and especially prudent to review your Pandemic Preparedness Level. I should also stress that this is a "DON'T PANIC", Just Prepare! post. <!--more-->So first, let's get to know the player - what is the swine flu? Well, it's just a variant of the "flu" that makes the round and gets passed around every year. Thing is, this variant doesn't typically pass to humans so there is not an anti-virus in production or even made yet. Don't take it from me though, and don't take it from the 'news'. Here are links to the CDC info and briefs on this situation:

Gardening How To
Prepping for Prepping
Prepping - it's an endless activity that has few rewards, and those rewards often are not close in payout to the amount of time and effort that went into them. The interim rewards in prepping include not having to run to the store constantly to keep your food stocked. When you're a Prepper your grocery store is in your own house, going to an actual store is akin to going to a warehouse to get resupplied. The other reward is great personal satisfaction and comfort in knowing that you are ready for anything - well, almost ready - there's ALWAYS something else that can be done. The big payoff rarely comes for a Prepper - and that is when things get bad enough that you're able to make it through it solely because you were prepped. This lifestyle, with it's small rewards and rare big payoff, can be tiring - even overwhelming at times.
