LOL That’s funny. I have a new blog dedicated to preparedness from a mom’s perspective. When you get a chance, would you let me know what you think? www.thesurvivalmom.com
Thanks!
Ping to post 3. Check out the link.
It looks great. I’ll have to get into it more when it’s not so late. There are some very good ideas there, especially the binder.
I like the binder idea. We've got all of our important papers in a gallon ziplock baggy in our safe, but I the binder is a neat idea.
Thanks.
Grab and Go binder is an excellent idea. Bookmarking your site.
You’ve got some great ideas at your site - I like the binder idea too. (You wouldn’t happen to be a flybaby, would you?) Your binder covers all the important things one might need.
Hey Cookie, that is one terrific website!
I love the idea of the “bug out” binder. What a simple, yet common sense idea. I’m going to get myself and the wife started on one right away.
You’ve got a ton of other great ideas there, too.
You’ve hit on something that’s been on a lot of people’s minds in the last few months, and I think your site is going to gain in readership.
I’ve bookmarked it, and will share the link with others tonight.
Great info.
i like your blog site!
Very good site CCC !
May I suggest a layered plan for same book.....
The book you have in your home , if not in a safe , then place in a simple fire file box that office depot / max sells for less than 40 dollars should hold that binder.
Second copy of that binder should be in a safe deposit box in a town at least 50 miles from your home. Add a USB Fob or CD copy of the book in that box .
Carry a Small 1GB USB Fob or a Mini Disc or a Business card Compact disc in your wallet or purse with a copy of the disc. Encrypt that disc with something entire family knows like Dogs name and zip code of your home so all can access if you are injured or worse........
Also consider keeping that notebook in 2 large ziplock bags or even vacuum it down with a food saver appliance for a water proof package. We keep ours in a SEAL bag that is used for waterproofing backpacking gear etc ......SEAL bags come in different sizes and colors including clear.

Hope that helps the efforts........Stay safe !
homeowners consider the fruit that falls from these trees to be “lawn litter”, only an arrogant people would consider food to be garbage
although i havent found it, the Text Book prolly says something to the effect of mans folly being arrogant to the point of burning his food...
My garden size and variety has grown every year since weve lived here and is often more productive than we can process or even simply give away...its amazin how many folks will turn their noses up to fresh produce cause it needs to be 'cleaned'...
sad really...

well done...
I, too, like the binder.
Good work and great page!
I would like to mention one thing, though. I’ve heard alot of folks going with the “bug out” idea.
Now if you had a weeks warning that something was happening, it might make sense. So it doesn’t hurt to be prepared BUT!!
In general, I think the “bug out” option is not very viable.
First, there will be ten thousand other folks trying to do the same thing. The roads will most likely be impassable.
Second, in the event of empty supermarket shelves or stuff like that, you would be putting your life at risk by traveling, even if well armed.
Third, I think you would be far better off IMMEDIATELY organizing with your neighbors to set up guard watches and divisions of responsibility.
Just my thoughts.
