We're about a week out from September, which is National Preparedness Month. Once again, I'm planning to participate in the 30 Days 30 Ways challenge. The goal is to do some type of preparedness activity every day for the entire month and to post about it here in this thread. It's meant to be an interactive, social activity that everyone can do together.
I put together a starter list of ideas a few years ago, which is linked here. Some of these I've done, some of them I haven't, and I'm always adding new items and removing old ones. Here are some ideas: Prepping Idea List.txt (https://ufozs.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=3274)
This year, I'm going to focus on the "boring" side of prepping. This comes out of a recent Urban Prepper video that addressed the topic and I liked it, since it's an important aspect. Basically, it's the organizing / purging / reviewing / maintaining sort of stuff that is easy to forget about. Things like purging old food, replacing expired medical supplies, making sure everything is working / charged, etc.. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypGJZzM-sVQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypGJZzM-sVQ)
When September arrives, I encourage people to chime in with what you're doing to improve your preparedness. Even if you don't do something every day, anything that you do accomplish helps you to be better prepared! By sharing what you do, it helps others to be motivated and acts as thought-starters for the rest of us. Remember that every little bit counts!
