Eli Adams writes an Emergency Preparedness Blog, Outdoor Survival Gear and Preparedness, where he “nerds” out about emergency preparedness. Just like most people, he writes, I got into preparedness specifically so that I could take care of my family in case we ever experienced an emergency situation. I don’t prepare out of fear. I prepare out of love for my family and those around me. I’d recommend you do the same. You will inevitably prepare better long term if you do it out of love for those around you. As an avid outdoorsman, I love going to the mountains and practicing my preparedness skills. Nothing makes me happier than taking my family to the great outdoors.
