7 Day Challenge RECAP

First off we want to say thank you to everyone who participate in the 7 Day Challenge this year. It is everyone joining in and commenting and sharing their experiences that makes it such a great learning week for all of us. This year we were really “task-oriented” with the challenges to help people to be able to really DO each challenge, and to concentrate on a specific area of preparedness.

If you were following along with the challenge, whether actively participating or not, we hope that you filled out the report cards each day and the master game plan worksheet from Day 7. We did this last year and spent a year working on all of the areas we found we were lacking. We are looking forward to doing the same thing this year and encourage everyone else to join in with us!

To make it easier to come back to all of the challenges and great comments from everyone, we have summarized everything here for you so you can get to it in one place.

As a special bonus this year, we are going to be going over each of the day’s challenges in more depth once a week for the next 7 weeks. We’ll go over our learnings, some of our favorite comments from others, and go into more detail on things that you could do to be better prepared for that particular scenario in the future. We hope that will be a fun way for everyone to get even more out of the challenge!
