Plan

The daily writing prompt is asking to – Create an emergency preparedness plan.

I’d rather spend more time living than prepping but given the climate in this county and around the world it might not be a bad idea spending some more time thinking and acting on it.

We take a lot of important things for granted unfortunately. Basics like our food and water supply. Our energy supply and safety.

To create a plan, you have to figure out what the conditions of the emergency will be. That is the difficult part, and you can spend a lifetime being a prepper and not live your life. So where is that balance, that sweet spot of being ready but living in the moment.

I know I’m not doing nuclear prep. If that happens, we’re all gone and what is left won’t be worth living in.

So, my plan today is to have a good lunch and that way if something happens at least I’ll have a full stomach for a bit.

Prepped

Create an emergency preparedness plan. – The Daily writing prompt poses a question a lot more people should think about.

I’m no prepper but I do think ahead. And with today’s weather getting more extreme and the political situation as it is in this country, it’s not a bad idea to plan. At least for limited or small durations where things could be far from normal.

Do I spend time and lots of energy preparing or do so, no. But we do take measures of extra food, a generator, and a fairly stable roof over our heads, yes. I do need some more ammo though.

And there are more important things to do in life than worrying about a plan, would rather spend time living life today.
