My husband and I have been working continually on our family preparedness plans for about 10 years. I want to share the information that we've learned - the hows and whys of what we do. Please join me!
This will serve as the master page for all the posts that I write about this topic. You can visit this page via the tab at the top of my blog, via the button on the sidebar, you can subscribe to my feed or you can subscribe via email if you want to know each time a new post is added.
I'm excited to hear comments from you all - what you've done to prepare already, what steps you're going to take to start a plan if you've never had one and ideas that you'd like to share.
Also, be sure to visit us at the Tennessee Preppers Network - you can also check to see if there is a preppers network for your own state!

I just found your blog and I'm looking forward to creating my emergency essentials with you. Thanks for all the great info and keep it up.
Question: What size backpacks are needed to place all of the things in it for a 72-hour period. What size backpacks for kids (ages 10 and 13)?
I heard a great suggestion in my CERT class. They recommended using a Small luggage that rolls for the 72 hour kit. This was incase you were in your car and had to abandon it it's easier to roll it than carry it for long distances.
I also suggest you make one up strictly with first aid supplies. They suggested that you used a white bleached sheet torn in strips for bandages. You would use sterile pads next to cuts and the sheet strips to hold or help control bleeding.
