Learn the basics from my free videos

Store what you eat - eat what you store.  I have made mistakes in the past like buying a bunch of preparedness type meals and then never using them.  Many years later I had to throw it all out.  Don't be dumb like I was!  Only store the types of food your family actually likes to eat.  Eat what you store and rotate it so the oldest items get used up first.

By using your preparedness, gear, stuff, items, gadgets, etc. at least occasionally, you will know how to operate them when an emergency comes.  Don't be one of those preppers who collect gadgets and never learn how they work.

Don't be too serious, have some fun. Especially if you have children, make prepping a game.  Don't scare them or focus  on the worst case scenario.  By making prepping a way of living it just becomes a part of what you do.  My kids say: "We are the preparedness family, we don't have to worry. When things get crazy we know what to do".
