Thank you..really informative!!
Great tips, thanks for sharing Steve and Matthew. I have a 72 hr. kit, but hadn’t thought about long-term.
Remember the pet food too!
This is great, I’ve been preparing for my family for some time now. I definitely respect people who plan ahead, and I wish more people would take it seriously (although the sale of underground bunkers has sky-rocketed!). It’s great to know there are people out there who are willing to share this type of information. Thank you Matthew and Steve! I’ll have to check out the book!
