I like things that are organized, so in an attempt to create organization for this blog before it gets out of hand, here are some of the things you can expect to find in the categories I expect we’ll be discussing.  Enjoy.

Preparation:  ”The best offense is a good defense” … is that how it goes?  Anyway, disasters don’t generally send invitations giving you a ‘get ready by’ date, so it is up to the potential survivor to plan how best to prepare his or her (pronouns will be used variably and at random) family.  The preparation section will talk about things to have on hand, how to prep for certain types of events, and skills to hone.

Basics: Mankind (and dogkind and cat kind and whatever other animals you may be trying to protect) have a few basic needs that must be met in order to survive which include: food, water, and shelter.  This section focuses keenly on these basic needs and how to meet them.

Advanced Survival: After your basic needs are met, we can focus on more advanced techniques. Minor emergencies shouldn’t require these skills.

Rebuilding: The situation has changed, more or less permanently. Now it’s time to get back to rebuilding life: gardening, sewing, brewing. Not an inclusive list, but some of the things that will be discussed in this section.
