For Failing to Prepare, is Preparing to Fail
- Brother Benjamin Franklin
Preparedness and survival are not just a fad – they are a mindset from our not so distant past. All we are doing is trying to make up for the time lost when we started relying on technology and government for our daily needs. Let’s use today’s technology and blend with the skills of the past to achieve a greater level of preparedness.
