Know Your Phone Numbers in Case of an Emergency (Preparedness Quick Tip #25)

May 9, 2022 By Emily Mendel 2 Comments

Make sure to keep phone numbers handy in case you lose the ability to use your cell phone. Most of us don't remember the numbers we have programmed there.

If you’re like me, you rarely actually have to recite the phone numbers you need the most because they’re so conveniently programmed in your cell phone. I even have to look up my own number when handing it out because I frequently forget it (since, you know, I never call myself). It’s just so easy […]

What Will You Do When the Toilet Paper Runs Out?

January 10, 2016 By Emily Mendel 16 Comments

This Little Light of Mine – EDC LED Keychain Flashlight Review

March 25, 2013 By Mike Lucero Leave a Comment

Keychain EDC

As I get older,  I’m noticing I’m having more and more trouble seeing in low light/odd light situations. Trying to open my husband’s car door with my keys in less than desirable light is frustrating to say the least (I’m not worthy enough to  have my own remote to his car – besides, we weren’t […]

Don’t be an Armchair Prepper

March 12, 2013 By Emily Mendel 4 Comments

Don't be that person who visits all the forums, reads all the blogs, collects all the free e-books yet never puts it to use. Don't find yourself unPREPared.

To everything there is a season. A time to plan, a time to harvest. A time to can, a time to eat. A time to prepare, a time to research. But never is there a time when you can’t be actively preparing, even if you can’t afford to buy anything. You know that guy who […]
