Preparation for disaster situations is very important. Only 23% of Americans have a 3 day supply of water and food as recommended by the CDP. (Center for Disaster Preparedness) If a true disaster situation arose, things would get real bad real fast. People become desperate when they cannot provide for themselves or their families, and violent situations can arise quickly. But if you are prepared for a situation, you don't have to leave the safety of your home to look for provisions. On the other hand, being prepared makes you a target for the desperate people. No matter your stance on violence, I'm fairly sure you don't just want to stand there as someone harms you or tries to take your possessions forcibly. Over the next several weeks I will be talking about some basic principles and practices involved in prepping. You may think preppers are crazy. We hope you are right. But if not, we will be prepared.
