Many fear that getting away puts them in a vulnerable place (exposed, away from home, without their preps) but I think that being a prepper is not about living your life in fear. Staying prepared does not mean you cannot enjoy life, or take a vacation. Balance, and moderation are extremely important to preparedness. Just think about it!
We should apply balance by:
Working towards an ample supply of preps among many necessity groups (food, water, hygiene items, security, knowledge, etc..).
Prioritizing time for each of our different preps (Time to garden, practice at the range, can food, rotate water stores, etc…)
Budgeting a percentage of our money for using towards being prepared – Not enough that we can’t pay our bills, but enough that we can purchase items we feel we may need.
Without proper balance, we may have enough ammunition to fight off the entire state of New York, but not enough know-how to obtain clean water.
We should apply moderation by:
Developing a meal plan to ensure we use only the necessary rations and thereby extending how long our food stores last.
Resist urges to over-indulge in any one facet of our lifestyle such as spending too much time or money getting prepared and thereby neglecting family.
Moderation is applied in order to achieve balance. Without proper moderation, we lose balance all together and ultimately fail.
What does any of this have to do with being prepared on vacation?
