It’s important to be ready for any emergencies and disasters, right? But sometimes it’s easy to forget that the average person is on a budget and is very busy with all the other very important parts of life, such as holding a job, getting the children through school, maintaining the house, and all the other normal activities of a family life. We want to be prepared, but it seems as if all the gear and products of self-reliance require us to be a wealthy person to obtain them.
Is there a way for the person of modest income to also be ready for emergencies? Absolutely! Preparedness is a state of mind. And just having lots of gear – even really good and expensive gear – doesn’t necessarily make one fare better in emergencies. It’s all about lifestyle, how you know how to use your gear and how you interact with other people.
