Basic preparedness questions

Stop Rapid Fire Bunker and talk to them. You will find them in the industry partner section on here.

And as I have said before start small and work up. Being prepared can become overwhelming very quickly. And we do have many large threads that cover just about everything. A normal everyday pantry should have about a weeks worth of food anyway.

Try small things and see. A couple of essentials right off the bat because you are going to pretend that there is no power/gas/water in your house and you need to find out what is going on and cook dinner.....

Light, radio, water, food and a way to cook it. Things one takes for granted every day. We have done it many times even though we have a camper right outside. Get the kids involved so they understand (if you have them). Cook dinner, listen to the radio and play a board game. I can say that in today's world teenage girls do NOT like this game but it can be done.

One will be amazed just how quickly things come to the front.

Just some thoughts.

Rapid fire bunker is a good place to start just try to get the owners to help, at least last time the fiancee and i were there the guys working was nice but gave off the creepy black helicopter tin foil hat vibe and wasn't much help.

Bo and don at preparedness gear are great for if you're just getting into prepping and will spend some one on one time with you if you need it and point you in a sensible direction.

But usually what one doesn't have the other does if you have to have it that day, so its good to be familiar with both.
