Thanks for this tip!! Definitely getting these. They’re sold out on Amazon though:
Thanks for the direction. Very helpful. The site is fabulous but I tend to get lost clicking on every link. My bad.
I’m soooo onboard with the overwhelmed! I have been concerned about being prepared in the event of an emergency for a few years now but didn’t know how to start and felt uncomfortable because of the whole tinfoil hat stigma. However, COVID pushed me over the edge. I feel like I MUST be able to care for myself. Anyway, I have a question about the backpack too. I see that a very specific backpack is on the recommended list but can someone explain why this is better than any regular hiking backpack?
I actually can’t think of anything to add here. You provide a great array. Also, my work has been with children so I’m not sure how helpful that would be here. It is important though to speak with your children, at an age appropriate level, about your preparations why you are doing what you’re doing: so you can be ready if there was an emergency and allow them to help prepare. Teaching skills to children gives them confidence, assists them in learning to help themselves and gives them direction in advance for what to do in an emergency. Again, great post.
As a therapist I applaud your effort here. The mental stress of a catastrophic event can’t be minimized. Great resources!
Great question! Not single but husband isn’t worried about being prepared so… But I do agree it seems male dominated and would love to find a community of women who might give feedback.
