Just listening to this now while I bang out some emails for work. A couple days ago, Jack Spirko at The Survival Podcast published a podcast about the “20 Simple Steps to Basic Preparedness.” So far pretty good, and I am learning a few things.
Here is the content of the Podcast:
- Step one – keep a food log
- Step two – keep a spending log
- Step three – perform a risk assessment on your life and geography
- Step four – build a basic black out kit
- Step five – build a basic first aid kit
- Step six – start copy canning
- Step seven – cut two expenses, just two of your choosing
- Step eight – Build a basic 72 Hour Kit – BOB
- Step nine – buy some source of back up power – any source
- Step ten – get some source of back up heating
- Step eleven – build two 7.5 gallon tubs or four 5 gallon buckets emergency food
- Step twelve – store a minimum of 50 gallons of water, more if you can
- Step thirteen – acquire a minimum or two emergency radios
- Step fourteen – acquire some means of back up communications
- Step fifteen – build a basic documentation pack
- Step sixteen – build up a 30 day supply or commercial long term storage food for your house hold
- Step seventeen – learn at lest 2 methods of food storage
- Step eighteen – find a local farmer’s market and visit often, learn about seasonal opportunities
- Step nineteen – learn to cook 5 items you have never eaten before with storable items
- Step twenty – store up a reasonable amount of COH (cash on hand)
- Step twenty-one (bonus) – affirm your right and responsibility to survive
