Emergency Preparedness

Everything in May fell by the wayside so we missed a month that we'll have to make up.

We could say shelter was our thing of the month as we already have a tent and sleeping bags.
Also emergency blankets, fire starters, rain ponchos to keep dry with- these could also go with shelter.

In an emergency it's most likely that you will NOT find yourself in the wild defending off bears.  It is more likely you will be in a place with crumbled buildings, broken roads, and lots of other people.  Meaning when disaster strikes we don't all get transported to the nearest remote place, we are near our residence with all the other people who live near by.  Most likely a church, school, or large building will become your temporary aboded.

That is why I still recommend a tent and sleeping gear, you will want privacy and will probably be sleeping on a hard floor. Just a thought to keep in mind when planning shelter.  Also, keep it lightweight and compact, you may be moved more than once.
