The only certainty in life is uncertainty.  We will never know when, or in what form some disaster may strike.  But it is good to be prepared for any eventuality life may throw at you.  On this website I review items that a person or family might need when the SHTF (s*** hits the fan), and they might need to hunker down, or as a last resort, bug-out and leave the area.  You may never know when disaster hits, but you can’t but a price on the peace of mind that comes from being prepared.
