You may think that prepping is just about having enough food and water to last a few weeks or months. It’s deeper than that.

In the case of an accident or serious injury, taking the time to search around for this information could prove fatal. Save yourself the hassle now and get important documents together and be prepared! Keep it by your emergency kit or an area that is easy to reach.

Those small containers you have could be helpful with emergency preparedness
Medication bottles, yogurt containers and more everyday items could very well be used to stockpile some of your cache. They can also be used in various places. Such as your car, your pocket, or in different rooms of your house. These containers look inconspicuous, so they can really be kept anywhere. You don’t need to buy fancy containers when you already have perfectly usable ones in your cabinet to use as your emergency kit. They can also be used to store grains and other foods like cereal or pasta.
The lint in your dryer could be used as a firestarter
This one isn’t as obvious, but the lint in your dryer is an everyday item that may very well save your life. Save your egg cartons, too. You can put the lint inside an individual carton and use it to start a fire. The best way to save your lint is to put it in a plastic bag, squeeze all the air out, and put it in one of your cabinets or emergency kits. This one is especially important because your electricity could be one of the first things to cease function in an emergency.
