Anyone else early in their efforts to be prepared?

Just wondering if there are others who are on the very "early" side of preparing?

I've lurked here for a while, never really posted. I've always felt it was important to be prepared, but go through (many) periods of complacency.

My efforts are spotty. I read the book One Second After and recognized the message of how vulnerable we all are to disruption in our infrastructure. I have 10 gallons of water stored, though it needs to be cycled out. I bought the "water bob" that will allow me to fill up the bathtub with water to store if the situation allows. I have some food stored, namely mountain house for about 5-6 days. I have an emergency radio. I save any antibiotics I happen to come across or have left over (not that any should be left over). I have some medical supplies. I did a firearm training (and shot more accurate than my husband). But we don't maintain the guns like we should. We have N95 masks. Etc. You get the idea. Nothing really cohesive. I have lists, lots of lists.

I live in California, and one would think that when Santa Rosa/Napa burned I would have woken up a bit. But, in the recent fire in Paradise I finally started "doing" more. I have a 1 week bag mostly packed - stuff for me, my husband and my kids to survive for a week. Down to the portable stove, fuel, food, medical, diapers, and wipes, and so on. I am getting down to the details on calculating how much water is needed (way more than I had stored in the past). Still some lingering details. I am also working on a bag for my car, in case I am stranded and need to get home (get home bag). I think these are reasonable first goals. Why even think about longer periods of time if you can't survive getting home or for 1 week?

I have two young children. When we were knee deep in the baby stage I was already barely surviving keeping them alive, working full time, my husband working. It was overwhelming thinking of preparing when I couldn't even stay 5 minutes on top of life in general.

My husband (who is a great guy) doesn't really understand why I am interested in being more prepared. I think we are both just still stuck in being complacent in our own ways. Its hard when I am trying to gain momentum and he is not interested / doesn't see the point.

I also believe there is something grounding/therapeutic about being self-sufficient / prepared.

I respect the experience and knowledge others have on this site. But I don't often seen anything on people just starting out. Just wondering if there is anyone out there in the same place (probably lurking quietly like me), with these mini efforts, wanting to do more, and repeated attempts at gaining momentum, feeling like you are not really even off the ground. Or perhaps someone has been there and broke through it.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
