Tools Preparedness Preparation: Where do I start preparing? How do I start preparing?

Where do I start preparing? How do I start preparing?

Those are two commonly asked questions and both have merit. Look, it can seem like an overwhelming task; but with guidance and good information you will have no problems accomplishing your preparedness goals. Once you fill your tool box with the proper tools you will be on the road my friends; my job will be to give you those tools! Let’s get started!

First you have to find that starting point; what do you have on hand? Specifically in these areas: Tools, Food and Water Storage, First Aid and Medical Supplies, Personal Hygiene items, and the Junk Box. Today I will break down Tools. Check back tomorrow for Hygiene.

Duct tape and Bailing wire; why are you laughing? They have held many of vehicles together over the years, and duct tape and bailing wire are both excellent tools to have with you. What else? First anything that requires batteries or power you need to nix right away; batteries die and the item just becomes an anchor weighing you down and power tools for obvious reasons. Build your tool list with hand tools; like screw drivers, pry-bars, knives, hammers, hand saws, hatchets and multi-use tools.

Remember the best time to learn your lesson about personal security, self defense and preparedness id before something happens.
