Our pets and animals are integral to our lives. We need to make sure they are prepped as well. Here is what I'm doing to make sure I have their needs covered.

Fiction and reality are rarely in the same realm. Apocalyptic fiction commonly starts with a complete meltdown and then goes downhill from there. Real events don't usually happen that way. In history, times of crisis tend to start slowly and then ramp up. That seems to be where we are now. We are seeing more and more issues happening with greater frequency, but there is still time to prepare.

I'm noticing more and more people openly discussing prepping. What used to be considered crazy and eccentric is now looking like normal. Does everyone feel that something is coming?

Bear Independent did a recent episode listing the three P's of dealing with our current chaotic times. I'm sharing those and how I'm doing them.

This past week has been filled with one calamity after another! What happens when we have to deal with multiple issues at one time? Referencing the book I discussed last week, "The Fourth Turning is Here", we are currently in a period of history defined by crises.

How would we function without the internet? What kinds of preparations should we make in the event we don't have access to it?

Sometimes the situation is so big that preparing for it becomes overwhelming. What strategies have others used when the situation looks bigger than my preps.

Finishing up the discussion of the book, "The Fourth Turning is Here"

The first part of my thoughts on the book, "The Fourth Turning is Here" by Neil Howe.
