Moving from one state or province to another comes with its own set of required preps. While many people will never embark on a 3000-mile move, I have
done it myself more than once and many of the tips apply even to shorter moves or road trips.
This author took a job across the country. Here's how she is preparing for a cross-country move.
It can be daunting, but in
the right circumstances, a cross-country move has the potential to be more fun than stressful. What are the things you make sure to have in easy reach on a cross-country move? What other tasks are essential? What are some things that surprised you? What was your experience like?
We're facing threats to our food supply from many different angles: supply chain breakdowns, drought, food facilities being ravaged by fires, skyrocketing inflation, and outright shortages. No longer can we live in the comfort of unthreatened abundance. We're learning exactly how delicate the system really is.
Prepping and putting back supplies is incredibly important but what we're seeing now goes beyond that. You have to be able to produce and acquire more food. You have to be able to put back your harvests to eat during the winter. You have to be able to prepare items that once were as convenient as popping open a can or little plastic container.
You need a paperback copy of our Organic Prepper anthology with ALL of our content about food. You'll get more than 500 pages of content that are all about food when you can't just go to the store and buy whatever you want.
If you’re like me, it feels like there is a daily barrage of significant issues that seem capable of directly or indirectly impacting us. It can often feel overwhelming to process. I say that as someone who spent his life preparing for and dealing with some terrible situations. Like most of you, I am listening, watching, and trying to understand what’s happening in our world.
But before I dive into this, I want to prep you. Please know that what I’m going to lead with may seem depressing and cause sensations of nervousness, anxiousness, and worry. If that happens, know that it’s normal; the stuff you, I, and others are dealing with right now is very heavy—it’s very serious. If that’s what you’re feeling, you’re 100%
normal and exactly where you should be given your current circumstances. With that, and as I mentioned, I will provide you with some actionable items that you can use to help make things better.
