Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

Why? Why? Why?
It's easy, as you probably guested.
Exercises, especially the operational exercises, allow you and your family to test your preps under real world conditions.
That's right. There is no magical, in your dreams, this is how things are going to go when you and your family rush out the door with your emergency evacuation kits. Exercises make you (especially if your family is truthful with themselves) prove that you and your family have this capability.
Yeap, ... It's a dose of reality that most people don't want in their preps.

Survival Tin
This means, if all you carry is a survival tin, you and your family use that survival tin to provide the necessities for one, two, or three days.
Before, ... You and Your Family Need It To Survive!

Wheat
Do you store wheat, hard red winter wheat or hard white wheat?
Do you have a grinder?
Have you used it? How about your family?
Did you make bread with the flour that you had made with the grinder?
Not Practice
Now, ... Exercises aren't practice because exercises happen in real time, at the speed of life. Just like they will during an actual event.
But, ...
You have to be safe! Not stupid!
I'll be back, unless you see this message then that's it, ... for now.
