New Podcast Live Sept25th, 7 am Pacific time.
I was right. August was an incredibly busy month. Topping the news is the tragedy of the fires in Lahaina. There is record heat all over the country, with temperature records shattering coast to coast. Plus the fires in our area, AQI of 200+, and smoke in the street have kept the Bateman family's Go Bags stacked by the door for the past few weeks. To say "the game has changed" is an understatement. It's time to step up and bring more to the table to discuss beyond the best beef jerky for the weekend.
The Bug Out Bag, or Go Bag if you prefer, has evolved into the first of many steps in preparing for disasters or emergencies. The length of time you will need to be self-sufficient has gone from 3 days to 2 weeks, and my recommendation is a month's worth of supplies per person. That means you are self-sufficient. Think about that as a goal.
So stay flexible and check in regularly on your prepping. Do it as part of your regular maintenance schedule. You know, like when you check batteries and expiration dates on products? You don't? Hummm. Add it to the list and set aside time. Hold regular discussions on creating an emergency preparedness plan with everyone who will be involved.
My OLLI class is a go and I'd like to invite you to take part. It will be a 6-week class. I will be presenting via Zoom and in person at the Cambell Center in Ashland. One fee gives you access to a complete catalog of courses. For details go to the OLLI website. (I do not make money on this, it is a non-paid program.)
I'll be teaching:
Survival: Beyond the Bug Out Bag.
Sept. 13th to Oct .18th
Wednesdays 11-12:30
Campbell Center, Ashland.
I said it before: It won't always be fun. I don't have a bucket of rainbows and my unicorn has run off again. But I can promise you it will be helpful, with the occasional typo and attempts at humor to soften the blow. I have not forgotten about the YouTube project by the way. That is still on the list.
Stay calm and be good to each other.
