Preppers And The Can Opener Effect

There is an old saying, "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link." The can opener is a metaphor for the weakest link in your preps.

Sometimes we are so focused on the big things that we forget about the small stuff. I call this, "The Can Opener Effect." We overlook or downplay the small items in our preps.

While clearing some out-of-date canned goods from the stockpile, the gears in the manual can opener stripped and it stopped working. I went to the storeroom and got another can opener, which was exactly like the other one. I asked myself, "Why did I buy this?" Isn't my family worth more than the cheapest can opener I can find? The same relates to all other prepping gear.
