Have you seen day 1, day 2 and day 3? How’s your everyday preparedness look? Many preppers tend to focus on the end of the world, but rarely focus on the everyday. We still have a life to live and plenty of surprises are waiting for us around every corner. We should certainly continue to […]

It’s security, familiarity; it’s your home turf. We are the most relaxed and prepared at home. There may be instances in which leaving your home […]
