I was hoping to welcome in the new year with a happy post about basic prepping but so far, within the first several hours of the new year, there was a probable terrorist attack in New Orleans and another possible terrorism event in Las Vegas (S2 Underground sums up these events here). So much for a calm segue into 2025.
I hope 2025 will be a happy and prosperous year for you and yours, yet at the same time, now is not the time to let down your guard or slack off on your prepping. Our goals for this year will be high-skill, low-cost efforts that anyone can do to improve their preparedness for just about anything that may happen. Onward!
