Before embarking on these steps, make sure to take a look at and accomplish the tasks on the “Getting Started” page. Feel free to work on these steps at your own pace, but if you would like to have more guidance we recommend signing up for our Babystep Checklists. These checklist are email reminders you receive every two weeks and outline a plan for you to complete the steps within one year.

    Heat sources? Do you have any idea what is the best heat source for emergencies? I have heard that Kerosene heaters are the best but, I can't figure it out. Thanks

    Angie,
    We haven't delved into that portion of our research yet. We are planning on doing a big research on all sorts of alternative heating sources once our babysteps are done. Should be "soon"
    For now, check out this post. It's about how to make a cardboard box oven. Could come in handy for sure!

  • Jodi,

    Just so you know, I "tune in" to your site quite often. I love that you start with baby steps. People for the most part get discouraged because storing food seems so big and impossible. So I'm a sister believer! Thank you for that.

    Thanks also for your comments on my blog. I'm learning from you, maybe I can offer something in return. Have a great day!

    Linnie, I just found your blog today and I like it so far! I'm glad you enjoy our site and I'm sure we will learn from you as well :) We love it when people are spreading the word about preparedness!
  • You have a great site!
    I'm referring people your way this week. Thank you for your comment a while back and taking the time to look at my blog.

    Like others here, I LOVE your babysteps checklist, but I'm in a situation where I can, and would like, to have all the checklists at once/more quickly than biweekly; is this possible?

    Thanks!
