In his line of work, one of the questions Matt Redhwak gets asked most of the time is ‘What are the easiest ways one can get prepared?’ Without further ado, here they are:
Get preparedness education for a small fee or for free
There are plenty of resources that are either free or come at an affordable cost that can help expand your knowledge of preparedness. One of the most popular options available out there are smartphone applications that allow users to store the information on their phones for as long as they need it. Examples include the US Army Survival Guide and the Red Cross First Aid App. The library is also a good place to get this kind of information and so are free workshops or meet ups.
It takes time and lots of work to practice a plan and while it doesn’t cost anything financially, it will all be worth when it is truly time to put it into action. Part of the practice means putting things in order such as your emergency supplies, their location, your medical records, as well as your insurance documents just to name a few.
Clean water
Water is essential in every kind of emergency and there are plenty of ways to secure safe, clean water including buying bottled water or water treatment tablets. However, a water filtration is best recommended as they are long lasting, most economical and low maintenance.
Store emergency food
You have plenty of options where emergency food is concerned but it’s worth mentioning that some are easier as compared to others. The best way to go is buying food that is ready for storage. My Patriot Supply, a company founded by Matt Redhwak is one of the most popular companies that supply such foods.
