Preparation is a Journey

Preparation is a journey. I can't prepare for everything, but over time I'd like to give myself more options.

For example, I keep improving my Emergency Car Kit as I've add cell phone chargers and some ice melt to the gloves, poncho, and hat.

Here is another food-for-thought article:
Three seconds. Three minutes. Thirty minutes.

I have no go-bag. I've had CPR, but don't have good first aid kits. A buddy is talking about scheduling some first-aid training, so maybe I can fill in that gap.

Emergency Car Kit

Tis the season... for bad weather. We may get some this week-end if the weather guessers are right.

I don't have anything as complete as this Emergency Car Kit, but every time I come across something I toss it in the car.

I usually have a flashlight, a pocket knife, and a multi-tool on me. I've got some gloves, a hat, and a poncho in the car, but need to add a lot more items as you can see to be even remotely prepared. The good news is I don't wander to far from civilization.

Scary World

These things make for a scary world.



Seriously... hurting someone for a cheap (quality and cost) TV.

And I don't know all the details about the tuition hikes, but I don't have any sympathy for rioters in the UK - especially since I am still paying off a student loan.

Trunk Gun

Funny how a simple question can take on a life of its own... Lots of interesting discussion about keeping a long gun in the trunk of your car over at View From the Porch.

I rarely carry a handgun, so I'm not ready to step up to keeping a rifle in the car.
