Yup. You read that right. I hate emergency preparedness. I loathe the use of the phrase “emergency preparedness.” I suspect that some psychotic Anarchist came up with the phrase in an attempt to capitalize and commercialize fear. The word emergency is intended to quicken the heart beat, make the breathing more shallow, make one feel out of control and vulnerable and replace confidence and competence with debilitating anxiety. The very use of the word “emergency” sucks all of the...

Major snowstorms blanket the Eastern coast
Over the last two days I’ve heard from friends and readers recount their stories of the last few days of confronting the snow storm in the east.

Typically when I mention "emergency" preparedness, or preparedness of any kind to someone they automatically think of “food storage” or “the Mormons.” Unfortunately, a focus on either will not save your family in a time of crisis. There are actually ten vital areas of preparedness to being prepared for an emergency whether it be a natural disaster, act of war or financial collapse or just every day situations in which you might need items from your preparedness pantry...

You’ve heard the announcement on the TV of a pending emergency. What’s your first reaction? Well, if you’re like 95% of the adult population it’s to go to the store and stock up. But if you already have key items on hand and know how to discern between that which is needful and that which is foolish, you’ll avoid the chaos that will inevitably be present at any store after such an announcement.
Want to know what to be sure you have on hand in the event of an emergency? Here is a list...
