Storing For Winter

I work in an industry that is seasonal. When winter rolls around we are at our lowest income for the year. Having a few goodies and supplies set aside for this is a way to make ends meet when paychecks are barely meeting our needs.

By budgeting throughout the money season, so to speak I am able to be prepared for the lean times which unfortunately is around the time of year when we really want to be spending money, namely holidays!

Preparedness doesn't just include emergency kits and food storage. It relates also to household goods.

Try stocking up in several ways. Buy extra sundries (toiletries) through out the year as well as other items needed to run your home efficiently, i.e. cleaning products and basic paper staples.

For example: 
Keep a storage of 3-5 bottles each of shampoo and conditioner in a file box. In this box place extra bath soap, tooth paste, and razors. Hair spray and other cosmetic items store at least 2 of. 

A prudent reserve isn't strictly money in a savings account. It is also foods and house-hold goods.

Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Pinterest, Stumbleupon in these places I am lost at the moment. All these applications. Trying to get them set up baffles me sometimes. Like preparedness would a new comer. 




And there is so much out there on survival readiness I am sure if I hadn't been into the preparedness stuff as long as I have I would be lost in the set up. Where would I start?

I am thinking back to my days in a hurricane prone city. 

When we first moved to Florida it was really beautiful. We were not aware at the time of the storm season in the late spring. We had moved in October 1987 after the hurricane season had ended. Imagine moving from a desert to a tropic zone. Thankfully when hurricane season rolled around we didn't have to dig very far for information. There were survival guides available at the supermarket and every where we went it seemed. They had lists of survival supplies and suggestions to help us get through a serious storm. 
We learned from our friends and neighbors how to throw a hurricane party! You had to make the best of it. If the storm was bad enough it could mean a serious calamity was on your doorstep.

Life's crisis aren't always storms. No matter the bad occasion, make it work by getting prepared. In a hurricane area you are aware a disaster is on it's way. The technology that is used to track storms these days is top notch. You can follow it through it's entire wake, if you are not in the center target area. The only thing these tracker's can't tell you is how badly your home and family might be affected by it.
If only all emergencies and crisis could be tracked like hurricanes. We might be in better shape if we had a little bit of a warning. Don't wait for the warning signs. Get going on your Survival Recovery!
