I once had an accordion file folder that I had labeled with all sorts of categories for my home, recipes, DIY projects, ideas I liked and so forth. And then the brilliance of PINTEREST came about and decluttered my closet forever. Digital storage of ideas of every variety is pure genius I’d just like to […]
Emergency Essentials in Bountiful Utah (should you live around the area) is moving and is doing a massive liquidation of their stock. It’s the new year and a perfect opportunity to stock up and save some money. Wanted to give everyone a heads up that could benefit from this SALE. Let those tax dollars allocated […]
With a new year upon us it’s a great time to start all those plans you’ve thought about a couple dozen times of starting your food storage and emergency preparedness planning.

Specifics are always a good thing. As we define each of the 13 areas of preparedness we can better create the list of items we need to achieve total preparedness. It at least provides a good road map through our journey to get fully prepared. For today the definitions stand as given below, but I […]
