You've got this, Mama!
Strategy isn’t just for the end of the world. What is the best strategy that we should take today in our preparedness? That’s what we discuss in this blog topic.
With the advent of warmer weather, it’s time to test our equipment and swap out our clothes and food. I’m doing a short series on our Semi-Annual Bug-Out-Bag Check and Swap-Out. Today we’re going to focus on making sure that our equipment functions properly. If you’ve never built a Bug-Out-Bag […]
Written by Nick Card More common day-to-day emergencies are worth preparing for even if they are not large scale disasters. Today is a normal Thursday! We hop out of bed, eat breakfast, drive to work, push through until time to head home, get a few tasks done before hitting the […]
Written by Nick Card Disaster! Whether a natural disaster (like a hurricane) or a man-made disaster (like a terrorist attack), we often associate emergency prep with more exotic disasters rather than the more common day-to-day ones we face.

The election is just around the corner and Covid numbers are progressively (whether really or artificially) going up. Illinois has already started reinstating stricter control over its populace because of Covid numbers. What some governors really want is control. Even last Friday, Steve (my husband) and I were watching The […]
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but my husband is an elder in our (fairly small) Presbyterian denomination. This is one of the two weeks that the elders and their wives get together each year. So my husband and I are flying across the country this week – […]
Failure has gotten a bad rap. No one wants to fail and, can we blame them? Which sounds more prestigious? (1) I just got demoted at my job. (2) My boss was so happy with my performance that he announced my name during a company meeting. Well, duh! The vast […]
We’ve done a lot of talking about “The End of the World as We Know It” or TEOTWAWKI. In the first post that kicked off this series, “Bugging Out vs. TEOTWAWKI – Don’t Get Them Confused,” our whole premise was that just because TEOTWAWKI happened, doesn’t mean that we are […]
