Inch By Inch Preparedness

It is vital that you build a 3 month supply of foods and home living stuffs, to create normalcy in event of a disaster, regardless if it were a natural or man-made one.

“Get a notebook, my young folks, a journal that will last through all time, and maybe the angels may quote from it for eternity. Begin today and write in it your goings and comings, your deepest thoughts, your achievements and your failures, you associations and your triumphs, your impressions and your testimonies. Remember, the Savior chastised those who failed to record important events.” Spencer W. Kimball

Family Preparedness:

Gather a two week supply of fuel for a safe alternative heat source for your home. This could be your fireplace, wood stove, or a propane space heater. Have a least one carbon monoxide detector.

Spiritual Preparedness:

Get a journal and start to record things in it for your posterity.

Thrift Thoughts:

How about going through some of your old clothes and shoes today. Some of your old winter clothes may prove useful in your 72 hour kits, or in your car travel kits for the winter. Some old but sturdy shoes could be used instead of thrown out.

Think of how you could reuse items, instead of throwing them out. I believe there will come a day when we will wish we had learned this principle of thrift. So start today with this one small task of sorting and finding other uses for the clothes or shoes we would normally toss.

I remember a time when instead of throwing something out, my mother and grandmother would cut off all of the buttons, zippers, pockets, or anything else reusable, so they could use it for something else. It is a forgotten art!

Happy and Healthy Prepping
