More and more, my own preparedness is focused on what is going to help me thrive and survive right now, and by right now, I mean today. The main reason behind this is that I am feeling we are in a slow-moving SHTF ala "frogs in the pot" that is here to stay. 

Rather than saving up for a freeze dryer so that I can preserve eggs for 25 years, I am looking at what I can do today, tomorrow, and, at most, this week, to improve the quality of my life and feel more prepared. Hey, if y'all have the cash for your freeze dryer, more power to ya! According to DuckAI, there are more than a thousand articles on the internet for preppers about freeze-dryers. I'm feeling like that might be enough.

So, in this series, what I am going to share is some more personal aspects of what I consider to be preparedness, and this is going to look different for each of us. Recently, Daisy published her own take on this, "The Importance of Doing the Best YOU Can." If you haven't already, I recommend checking it out!
