Prepper Precepts #24 It’s Better to be Home, Rather Than Be a Refugee in a Shelter

 

This prepper precept is common sense.  It’s better to be home, rather than be a refugee in a shelter, but if you have to leave, you might not have time to pack a bag – have a Plan A and Plan B, C, and D

Plans fail, that is why we have emergencies and disasters.  Things don’t always go as planned.  That does not mean you should not have a plan because the very act of planning has value in itself – it helps identify problems, solutions, pitfalls, and resources.

But having a single plan is not enough.  Have backups and options.  You will thank yourself for it later.

I am not a pollyanna person that is wishy washy or blindly follows rules, heck I have a little rebellious streak and love to know the WHY of rules, but I do respect and understand the need for law and know how vital it is for a society to have a moral code.

By knowing my beliefs in you can know how I will act. This is very important in times of stress.  If you don’t want to read these each prepper precept individually, the completed list can be found here: Completed 27 Prepper Precepts.
