There are a lot of people coming into line with the idea that they should probably be a little more prepared than they are. Maybe even a lot more prepared than they are.
Around the state, our zone leads are being approached, by concerned Idahoans with the same question.
WHAT DO WE DO? WHERE DO WE START?
People have anxiety about the future. They are looking at the state of the world, considering possible outcomes, and it's not pretty. We assume that if we are being approached by so many with the question, it's likely that there are many more who feel similar but may not feel comfortable saying it loud yet. Let us be the first to tell you. You're right and you're not alone.
The anxiety of the unknown only goes away when you start to prepare when you become physically prepared. So how do you start? Your financial situation will dictate what you can afford and how fast, starting now, get what you can as fast as you can. What we want to share with you is more of a philosophy that we think will benefit you the most.
We have a saying here at the RealID3P. No matter the emergency, instantaneous or prolonged, your chances of survival go up if you are not alone. That being the case, We encourage people to develop what we call a small team.
Here is a video from our zone lead in North Idaho talking about small teams.
