Fridays Thoughts and Other Stuff (Thinking)

Dear Preppers and Survivalists,



Sorry
I apologize about last week, but I had to leave

So, ... I'll try this again.

First, ..

You and your family need a sheet of paper. Fold it like a hot dog bun, narrow and long. Unfold it then draw a line along the crease.

Second, ...

On the left hand side, list all of the disasters that could affect your family.

Now, this exercise is important, so include everyone in the family.


Don't blow this off.

Everyone in the family needs to be a part of this threat analysis because it gives you and your partner a chance to see where everybody is on this 'prepping' thing.

Let me explain, ...

Your children might be concerned about missing school while you and your partner are worried about an economic collapse. Plus, it gives you and your partnert to talk with your children about the importance of being prepared for life's emergencies.

Third, ...

Once you have all the disasters and life's little mishaps listed on the left hand side of the page, I want you and your family to list them in order of 'likely to happen,' on the right hand-side of the page.

Now, ...

You can go from most likely to happen to least likely to happen or vis-a-versa. It doesn't matter.

Needless to say, ...

Families with younger children will probably either let them go and do their thing or take a break, so your children can help out.

Either way, .... Make sure to get them to help.

Fourth, ...

This part is only for you, your partner, and any mature members of your family, like your parents or adult children.

This part is where you go through the threat analysis and strike through any events that you and your family are unwilling to prepare for, such as nuclear war, armed conflict, or other event.

Let me explain, ....

Some people aren't getting prepared for the collapse of these United States, economically or politically. These folks believe these events are too extreme and aren't worth the effort to get prepared. Other folks might not get prepared for a nuclear war because it is too expensive, at least that is what they think. Lastly, some folks have a religious prohibition against taking someone's life, so they won't purchase firearms, for their family's defense.


Lastly, ...

I want you and your partner to look at all these disasters, big and small, and notice something?

They all require, basically, the same thing, such as ...

* An Emergency Evacuation Kit

* Smoke Detectors and Fire Extinguishers for your home 

* An Appropriate Shelter

* Water and Food

* Some form of Protection

* Medical Supplies

And, ...

* Some other important categories

Needless to say, you are going to need to purchase some of these items.
