Can you believe we have been at this for 6 months now. We are at our 1/2 year mark! Keep saving your change and don’t be afraid to ask for a case of food or pandemic supplies or a 72 hour kit for your birthday, anniversary or one of the holidays.
1.Practice building a shelter. There are many websites which can help you with directions for a lean-to, tents or even snow caves (wrong time of the year for that in most, but now all of the world). If you purchased your tarp(s) last week of if you have an old one around practice using that so you can see what else you may want to add to your Grab and Go kit to make creating a safe shelter easier. This will also help you understand how many tarps and ropes you may need to accommodate your family’s needs. Besides this is a great activity with the kids especially for those of you who have cut back or cut out a family vacation this year.
2. Purchase cooking utensils for your Grab and Go Kit. You will want long handled items just in case you end up having to cook over a fire.
3. Purchase a set or tow of white sheets. Decide which two room you would turn into “hospital” room for those who are ill. Purchase at least one set of white sheets for the beds in those rooms. During a health emergency you will want to wash sheets in hot water, soap and bleach to be sure all the germs are killed, thus white sheets.
4. Add 2 cans of vegetables per person to your food storage.
5. Make or purchase a holiday gift.
6. Make more room for food storage. If you are running out of space now is the time to create some more. We will be adding more food to reach that three month supply so be ready.
7. Take time to catch up on one or more of the Steps you have missed.
