For most of us, the world took an odd turn in the year 2020. One day we’re going about our day-to-day lives and the next we’re behind closed doors wearing a surgical mask. Was anyone prepared for that change?
Most of us probably were not prepared, or at least not as prepared as we wished we were. I remember my first trip to the local grocery after the state I live in went on lockdown. The empty shelves were sobering proof we had more than a medical crisis. The stories told to me by my grandparents of living through the Great Depression echoed in my memory.
I got real serious real fast about preparedness. As the pandemic drags on, as the political climate becomes unstable, as the economy declines, it's more and more obvious just how our daily lives are at risk.
This series is simply to share what I've done and what I will continue to do to maintain a level of food and resource security. It won't be enough to survive a total collapse, but I believe I can lessen the day-to-day impact of what is coming over the next few years.

And no. It's not clickbait. This blog is not monetized.
The topics in the series are:
Why concern yourself over being prepared?
Preparedness is not Doomsday prepping
How much does an adequate pantry hold?
Home food preservation - is it safe?
Yes, you can afford to build a pantry
Do I need a dehydrator or even a freeze dryer?
I hope that sharing my journey to being better prepared will help you in yours.
