NOTE: This blog is only for a small portion of my audience. If you're not a prepper then this will not interest you.
American Mercenary has an excellent post on his family's experiment with eating nothing but their preps for a month (read it here).
I'm gonna give this a try. I have the gear and the preps but haven't tested going even a week with them.
Which leads me to one last thing. Everyone is so focused on "get home bags", "go bags", "tactics" and "firearms" that we have forgotten the basics.
In most cases you're going to be home and have to remain home when things go wrong. How many times have we seen store shelved raped bare before an event occurs?
Being fit enough to handle the stress of a situation...being smart enough to live a life style that is maintainable in a SHTF...having basic medical knowledge to keep minor issues from becoming life threatening situations is what we should be focusing on.
Buying the Tac Gear, AR's, Holsters etc...might be fun, but the real work is more important and goes toward simple day to day activities.
