% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Everyone prepares to a
certain degree but there are those that sometimes let their prepping activities
go to extremes. Try as you might, it is almost impossible to prepare for every
possible scenario. If you maintain a proper balance in your prepping
activities, you will have a better state of preparedness than you might think. Sometimes the simplest things are overlooked because we don’t
see them as obstacles until it is too late.

You’ve got a bug-out bag, a
bug-out vehicle and a bug-out location but do you have the skills to put your
bug-out plan into action. Can you change a flat tire? It’s a simple process but
it is also one which many people have never done. Can you change a drive belt
on the motor if it breaks? These are simple skills that are easy to practice
and develop but which can leave you stranded and vulnerable at the worst
possible time if you lack these simple skills. Simple skills can go a long way in helping you be better prepared.

A box of survival seeds
won’t do you much good if you lack the gardening skills to make them grow. A
stockpile of canned goods and freeze-dried foods won’t last forever and you
will need gardening skills to properly balance your food storage program. You
will also need to stock your food items accordingly. Excess food storage can
increase your chances of having items that expire or go bad before you can use
them. Simple gardening skills can help you be better
prepared.

Don’t forget to have a plan
to maintain the safety and security of your family. Don’t sacrifice your
family’s safety or security because simple items were left unattended. Realize that maintaining security should also be a part of
your preparedness plans.

Include plenty of family
activities that can help to strengthen the trust and loyalty among your group
or family members. Make sure to include both younger and older members of your
group in your activities. While their knowledge and skills may vary, they can
only help to strengthen your efforts. Remember that
everyone is capable of making a contribution to your preparedness efforts.

There are numerous aspects
to proper prepping and maintaining a proper balance will be critical. You may
be unknowingly increasing your costs and utilizing resources you may need
elsewhere if you don’t maintain a proper balance in your preps. Know how many
in your family or group you are preparing for and adjust your preparedness
plans accordingly. Know which skills you are lacking and make an effort to learn
them and continue to practice those skills you already have. Balance your
prepping efforts with the actual needs of your family or group.
