[QUOTE="OKC9-12LEDR1, post: 2078433, member: 7700"] My opinion of preparedness would differ from most, these are the 6 areas of preparedness I focus on. You can fill in the blanks as to what items you prefer to use to accomplish this in each category. Food Water Shelter Energy Security Sanitation and Health If you talking preparedness being a well thought out backpack/go bag, that is going to differ a lot from what you would if you had a well designed BOL. I like to think in terms of years of food and the ability to produce more. Water could be a filter straw or Katadine filter all the way up to a solar powered water well and a Big Berkey filter. Shelter could be a tent/hammock and a good lightweight insulated sleeping bag up to a cabin in the woods or... Energy could be light anywhere matches, a 9V battery and steel wool to an off grid solar system and a wood burning stove for your cabin. Security, they skies the limit. Sanitation and health for some might be a jar of fishmox, a first aid kit and a roll of TP. Others it could be a composting toilet and a deep larder of meds, herbs, EO and the knowledge how to use them. I would add one more item to this list and that is community. Having some like minded neighbors / family is great and all, but how well are they prepared and how will they react in a crisis situation. [/QUOTE]
