When I speak to people about their emergency preparedness state of readiness, inevitably the conversation begins with food storage. In fact, for most individuals, food storage is what they think of when they hear “emergency preparedness.” This is actually a bit of a problem, because food storage is only one aspect out of my Ten Areas of Readiness I teach
You read it right. Chocolate chocolate molten chocolate cake. As requested, here is the recipe that we’ll be serving tonight at the “Enough and to Spare” coupon class. For best results, serve with vanilla ice cream while still warm.
I pay a whopping $15.18 a month for FIVE Sunday newspapers. I do this primarily for the coupons which afford me to feed our family well and feed our food storage abundantly. I easily multiply my investment by 10 times each month just considering the grocery savings. But the multiple other purposes I use the newspapers for after compound those rewards and even makes me eager to take spare newspapers off of another persons’ hands.
Ultimately, emergency preparedness is about independence—the ability to rely on yourself to provide for you and your family’s needs. That’s really what being prepared boils down to. It’s not about absolving fear in your life. It’s about celebrating your independence, your abilities, and your responsibilities. It’s about proactively ensuring your future health and happiness. In my opinion, your continual acts of preparation manifest your commitment to independence.

My drug of choice? Well, I could say chocolate, or a Dr. Pepper, or even a sweet kiss from my hubby (those make my knees buckle).

Perhaps it’s because each time I steal a taste, I’m not just tasting the substance of honey, but its overwhelming value everyday, and in an emergency. Honey not only tastes good, but it has numerous medicinal and comfort uses as well. You know me, I love items that have multiple uses. Honey is one of the super stars of my food storage AND first-aid supplies.

Obviously, given my line of work, I’m frequently told by people that they are prepared because they have a generator. Well, I see a whole lot of downsides of owning and relying on one, so I thought I’d share my two cents as to why I don’t plan on ever owning a generator.

[/caption] One of the ten areas of emergency preparedness is fuel. Fuel brings us the much needed light that we will require not only to see, but also to feel good. It includes any fuel we’ll need for cooking, and the fuel we’ll need for keeping warm. Before you elect to get a years supply of fuel for these purposes, consider
I don’t usually post on Saturdays, but an important issue came up this morning. In the name of financial preparedness, I’m sharing it with you as I believe it’s vital to those who are trying to make the best financial decisions to be better prepared.

Why are we hearing the silence of Swine Flu news so loudly? Why did the fact that the deaths doubled in Utah due to Swine flu not make all of the front page news? Why is the word quarantine used so sparingly in what little news there is available? WHO classifies the Swine flu at “Pandemic” status and yet our border officials don’t ask a single health related question still.
I’ll tell you why. But I warn you,
