When considering any possible scenario that would cause you to not have electricity you must consider where you are going to get light from. Simply having a few flashlights and some batteries is a great start but perhaps one might consider longer term lighting options.
Keeping you and your family safe does not necessarily have to do with having the best gear. Self-defense knowledge and weapons are certainly helpful. A good security system can help you feel safer at home. However, one single most important skill that can save your life above any gear you may have is learning the Art of Situational Awareness. Not only can developing this skill help you in a disaster scenario, but also in your current daily life.

For years I had the same home-made First Aid Kit in a big long tackle box (pictured bottom right). I felt pretty good about it, but as time has gone on, I knew I needed to update it.

I’m not the most expert on coupon clipping or bargain hunting, but I have done a lot of researching and studying of products and items in the last year for preparedness.

Please also realize that the things I was researching and purchasing have been what I felt was a need for my family and our preps. Yours might be different.
Being physically prepared and ready for whatever trials are in the future requires us to be mindful of our health, which can be challenging with so many toxins in foods and products we use. The top cause of aging are toxins. They build up in our bodies provoking cell damage that produces premature aging. We get toxins in our body from stress, pollution and having a poor diet. To get rid of toxins, detoxifying our body with antioxidants is the best way. That is very easy to do if you drink antioxidant-rich alkaline water.
Do you know what you are really eating?
Part of being prepared is keeping ourselves healthy. That may sound easy enough, but eating a healthy diet can be super challenging in our fast-paced world. Taking time to make our own food has become less of priority. Yet it’s a priority we need to get back!
