Main Topic
What Prepping Means to Us- September is National Preparedness Month
What is prepping?
Ability to be self reliant when normal life fails- can be if lose a job or can be if society breaks down
creating an evacuation plan or Family Disaster Plan IOT ensure survival (rally point, contingency plans)
what to do in case family is apart
Do we REALLY need to prep?
Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, Ferguson, Baltimore, Haiti
Talk to people in third world countries (or even USA) after natural disaster or war zone- they typically understand the need to be prepared
Has a stigma, but only makes sense- our grandparents did it not that long ago
It doesn’t hurt to be prepared- doesn’t have to be TEOTWAWKI, can be lost job
Heard gov’t doesn’t have grain reserves
What are you prepping for?  EMP, Financial Collapse, Civil Unrest, Natural Disaster?  
Prep for every scenario meaning- What are the bare essentials to live and start there
Rule of Three’s
3 minutes w/out air, 3 hours w/out shelter, 3 days w/out water, 3 weeks w/out food
