When we change the clocks for Daylight Savings Time, it’s a great time to go through your preps to see what needs to be updated, replaced, and/or refreshed. More than just checking the batteries on smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, this opportunity to check on our home and our preps twice each year is a great reminder.
In this video Kyoshi Dave Herman of Five Elements Tactical Training, shares the FIVE AREAS he checks every time it’s time to change the clocks. Checking in and around the home, checking the prepper pantry, the vehicles, and the EDC, or everyday carry systems. Going through the house, for money saving, Great Depression Era thinking, tips to reduce home heating and cooling costs; looking for more energy efficient means to light your home, finding the most cost efficient means of updating your prepper pantry, first aid supplies, over the counter and prescription medications.
Checking on your home security, alarm system, outdoor lighting; checking and prepping your snow blower, generator, and winter supplies, for your home and your vehicle as well. Updating and rotating your clothes for the upcoming season, both in your closets, your vehicles, and your go bag, get home bag, bug out bag, bail out bag, survival bag, and survival kits.
By taking the mindset of both the generation who lived through the Great Depression, and the immigrants who came with no money, but a strong work ethic and a frugal mind which few of us understand today, We learn to stretch the dollar, to avoid wastefulness, and to prepare for the hard times which could come from long term unemployment, food shortages, economic instability, an economic crash, civil unrest, or the next Great Depression. Learn what to stock up on now, before the SHTF.
