Learning + Tutorials

You went and got yourself a whole pile of gear to prepare you and your family for an emergency situation.

Congratulations! You are 3/4 of the way there. Welcome to the wild world of prepping. 

Now comes the next most important step: LEARNING HOW TO USE IT ALL.

Don't wait until it's too late. Practice using it all before an emergency!

Back in the late 1980s, an oral surgeon was in the middle of a two-week raft trip down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon in Arizona, when disaster struck.

He and two other men were on the bank, getting their 18-foot (5.4-meter) raft ready for a trip down the Crystal Rapids when it got caught in a wave, filled with water and ripped the line from their hands.

Hurricanes can be some of the most destructive forces on earth. Intense winds along with flooding can cause multiple damage vectors. Getting prepared ahead of time is critical since Hurricane warnings will only come a few days in advance. 

There are a few key issues to plan for:

• Home Fortification: Wind & Water Mitigation
• Long Term Power Outage: Food Storage / Lighting / Hygiene 
• Preparing for Evacuation

If you live on the east coast of the US, or in Hawaii, prepping for hurricanes and cyclones is an annual activity!
