We all need the preppers emergency FAMILY survival guide, because we want to make learning fun for our family. We want to include them and to foster enjoyment in prepping.
*
My issue with Preppers:
* the do it yourself attitude (sort of)
* TEOTWAWKI will happen TODAY
* Traps that Preppers fall into:
* Acquisition of stuff
* Stuff runs us
* Improper attitude (bulk storage vs good food)
* Financial ruin (stuff is expensive)
*
It isn’t all about hurry up and get stuff for preps
* It is about skill
* It is about family
*
