I was prepared at one time. But now my cache of batteries is getting old. I didn’t move the oil lamps with us. Although we did get a house with a generator and a huge propane tank to fuel it. But still, I need to do better at keeping up my preps.
If you can keep a schedule of when resources were purchased, along with approximate expiration dates,
the list itself will help keep your preps up to date.
Consider the list as a reminder, or a 'brain tickler' to rotate or check out your preps.
Some tools that I had left in plastic blister packs for longevity and easy identification apparently were sealed with moisture inside the packs,
and some of the tools are rusted beyond use.
This would not have happened if I had regularly checked their condition, or rotated - so I need my own "Tickler" list.
Such a 'tickler' list is almost mandatory when it comes to canned goods that are in 'long term storage'.
