Survival:Beyond the Bug-Out Bag

By: Bill Bateman
  • Summary

  • We all agree that being prepared for an emergency is important. That's why preparing a "Bug Out Bag" that will allow you can grab and go can be a lifesaver. So I began posting information here over 6 years ago, and I'm updating that information regularly. I've also gone beyond the traditional products. Because creating "the bag" is just the first step to being prepared, not the final product. We now know we each need to have at least 30 days of essential supplies like food water and medicine. We must be our own first responders.

    I cover topics like:
    *Products I both use and trust.
    *Often forgotten items you need to have in your bag.
    *Psychological and Emotional planning for the family
    *Planning for Kids and Seniors
    *What to do when Plan "A" fails?

    This includes a curated list of links from a variety of sources too. I'll be sharing and updating links to sites I buy from and products I use. So we are clear, I have no sponsors, so the opinions, both good and bad, are my own.

    Join me as I begin the 7th year/6th season of productions in an ongoing series of podcasts for you and your family to use and to share with others as you build a community. Is this fun or what?

  • Ghost Subscriptions& Home Security: A Guide to Protecting Yourself
    Mar 24 2024

    Ever found yourself scratching your head over a mysterious charge on your bank statement? You're not alone. This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on the aggravating world of ghost subscriptions, revealing how I outmaneuvered the silent siphoning of funds by old services. From scrutinizing bank statements to documenting communications, I lay out the strategic playbook you need to reclaim control over your finances. But it's not all defense; we switch gears to discuss the offense of home security, dissecting the merits of video coverage versus surveillance systems—inspired by the peace of mind my Simply Safe setup delivers. I'll walk you through the cost-benefit analysis, the integration with emergency services, and how these systems can be a homeowner's best friend as the days get longer and the weather warms up.

    Change is in the air, and I'm thrilled to hint at our new direction—including a possible venture into video to strengthen our community ties. As we adapt our schedule in preparation for exciting developments, I want to leave you with a thought: how prepared are you for the summer season when it comes to safeguarding your home? From the importance of motion detection to the subtleties of choosing the right security system, there's a wealth of knowledge to absorb. Please stay vigilant and cultivate that perfect blend of security and comfort for your living space. Catch all these insights and more, from Refuse to Be aVictim PersonalProptrecton Training.
