Our goal is to reduce some of the fears associated with living in the modern world and the dependencies that we have on others for our basic necessities. The reality is that hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, fires, blizzards and other events have always been a part of the world we live in. However, as our urban centers expand and population densities increase, the effects that these events have on our lives is increasing at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, most Americans have become dependent for most, if not all, of their essential life sustaining needs. Although the government has plans in place to assist in the event of a disaster, the reality is that it may take weeks or even months for help to reach everyone. It is up to you to be prepared and possess the knowledge to survive until help arrives. Again, we're not talking about years of stockpiling a bunch of crap you'll never need. Start off with a goal of one week and work up to a realistic goal of thirty days just to be safe. Help will arrive and things will eventually start getting back to normal. You just need to be able to survive until it does. More importantly, why not survive with comfort and confidence.
