    Right-O crash!
    Just stock up on the stuff you like if you know it'll make a difference.
    Or, give it up now if it's bad for you.
    Give it up before you have to!

    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.

    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    Pain pills. I get killer migraines that are triggered with pollen, dander, and weather changes...a debilitating migraine in a survival situation can make for a very bad situation.
