Prepping isn’t just for preppers anymore—it’s time to get a go-bag

Perhaps the most important reason to get prepping is that it can be a fun, meaningful, and empowering way to spend your time. The paper towels in your car kit might save the day when your nephew has a raging nosebleed in the backseat (I speak from personal experience). And that duct tape in your everyday carry can fix almost anything that might break while you’re out, from aging sneakers succumbing to a day in the city to a ripped backpack on a mountain hike. Providing teachers with critical emergency supplies that are readily accessible is a vital part of being prepared. Edu-Care Services, Inc. has designed a “Go-Kit” to be used specifically by teachers. Many kits include small flashlights or light sticks to provide illumination during power outages or low-light situations.
