Prepared 101

Okay Cincinnati Homestead Mom (that's me) has been working on "Prepared 101" for the last couple of days, a 52 week plan or course to get you better prepared, and I am super excited. 

Before we get started I want to let you know that I designed this plan / course to provide my mom with a solid foundation to get her better prepared for as little cost as possible.  Doing small things consistently will really add up and keep it from seeming like an unattainable goal.

To get started I recomend having a notebook / folder / or binder to keep all of your "Prepared" information in.  You should also clean out an area for all of your "Prepared" items.  You can start by putting your items in a tote or box, then upgrade as you go and need more space.  I recomend a closet, area of your basement, or maybe in the corner of a spare bedroom, but there are all kinds of places you can stash or hide the items you need to keep your family safe and better prepared. 

Each week Cincinnati Homestead Mom will give you an assignment.  There will generally be several parts to the assignment to really speed up the process of getting better prepared.  Some of the assignments will be designed to get you thinking about different situations you might find yourself in, and some assignments will be designed for you to build up a stockpile of food and goods, while other assignments will get you learning new skills to help you be better prepared.

To get credit for these assignments (because there will be prizes) you can send files, documents, pictures and videos to my dropbox. (just click on the link where it says "dropbox").  I will keep track of who participates, and lots of prizes will be given for all kinds of things throughout the course.

I will be posting Week #1 soon so be sure to follow and subscribe so you wont miss out.
