Bugging In: How to Hunker Down and Survive in an Emergency Situation

Bugging In: How to Hunker Down and Survive in an Emergency Situation (Stay Alive) was a free book for the kindle when this post was written.


Are you prepared to survive in a shelter-in-place emergency situation?
Well, are you? If you are, pat yourself on the back. You're a step ahead of most people. The average citizen turns a blind eye to disaster preparedness and is largely unprepared to handle all but the most minor of emergency situations.

Do you really want to take a chance that could cost you and your family your lives?

The first thing most victims say is, "I never thought it would happen to me." Don't be caught unprepared when an emergency strikes that forces you to take refuge in your own home. The time to get ready for a crisis situation is now. Wait until the last minute and you'll be forced to pay top dollar for food, water and supplies, if you can find them at all. If not, you'll be forced to scavenge for scraps or beg for help, along with hundreds of thousands of others who couldn't be bothered to prepare.

The following topics are covered in this helpful and easy to read book:

• What hunkering down is and why it's preferred over bugging out.
• The disasters you should start prepping for.
• Bugging out vs. bugging in.
• The meaning of normalcy bias and how it can get you killed.
• Questions you need to ask yourself in an emergency situation that will help you determine the best course of action.
• The 5 plans you need in order to survive.
• Building a Get Home Bag that will give you the best chance of making it home if a disaster occurs while you're away.
• How long should you prepare to survive on your own?
• Shelter: Don't make any assumptions.
• Shutting down utilities.
• Water . . . Must have water.
• How to keep from freezing to death when the power is out.

Best 50 cents I ever spent!

Weekly trip to thrift store and all I spent was a whole 50 cents! But, what an awesome find! A wooden board that has times tables on little wooden squares. Turn them over for the answers! Little man loves it. Playing with it and learning. I bet there is some handy person out there that could make one of these for themselves.

Homeschool minute - words and spelling

Little man came up with this idea on his own. He takes his word list of the week and uses his letters that I've collected from all of his old games, magnets, etc. Works great for him. Put the word list down and then spell them out with the letters. He also writes them into his word notebook.

Food Storage Recipe - 3-2-1 Mug Cake

This is so easy. When my mom told me this recipe the other night on the phone , I seriously thought that she had lost her mind. But, I love finding ways to make things easy and with stuff that I have plenty of in my food storage. So, I gave it a try and now have a favorite dessert to make for us when we want something quick and just enough for one of us. We usually waste cakes when I make a whole one, I hate to admit. So to be able to make a single serve cake will also be a very frugal thing for us. No more wasting cake!!!

3-2-1 Mug Cake

NEED:

1 box Angel Food Cake Mix

1 box of any flavor cake mix ( We love funfetti cake mix in our house, but you could use any flavor!)

Frosting for when it is done cooking! YUMMY

Pour both boxes of cake mix into a big gallon sized Ziploc bag.

Shake it up and make sure that it is all mixed up very well.

NOW THE FUN PART:

Take a clean coffee mug that is microwave safe. Combine 3 tablespoons of the cake mix with 2 tablespoon of water. Stir this up well and put into the microwave for 1 minute. You do not even have to grease the mug.

Put a dab of frosting on top and eat it right out of the mug.
