Please make sure you do the following each and every month to make sure you are properly prepared should a disaster scenario occur.
- Review the items in your home bug out bag to make sure you know where each piece of gear is stored, how to use each piece of gear, and to rotate food items if needed.
- Review the items in your vehicles bug out bag for the same reasons as stated above.
- Review the items in your vehicles emergency roadside assistance kit and replenish whatever auto repair, maintenance items are required to keep your vehicle ready to roll.
- Review your main and ancillary first aid kits to make sure all essentials are there.
Remember in an emergency you don’t want to be fumbling around wondering where a piece of gear is or wondering how to go about using a particular piece of gear. Know where each and every item is in each of your bags/kits and how to use them before disaster strikes. It just might tip the odds in your favor and help save your life.

Act Your Age

Yes, I’ve finally come to realize, the hard way, that as I am getting older my mind still wants to do things that my body isn’t willing to follow. Case in point was while doing some weight training I tore a muscle pretty badly in my right arm causing pain to radiate up and down my right arm. The pain extends from the thumb on my right hand all the way up to my neck. Yes I know in a few weeks I’ll be fine; but it made me realize that carrying a bug out bag or handling a firearm have now been made increasingly more difficult, and painful, at least for a few weeks. Lesson learned here is when it comes to survival and preparedness, it is essential to not push your body beyond what it is realistically capable of doing, regardless of how young you feel inside.
