Be prepared for anything

Today’s guest is passionate about equipping moms to be prepared for whatever life throws at them. In our conversation, we dove into the subjects of two of Karen’s books: preparing your home with long-term food storage and preparing your vehicle with everything you need on the go. Karen breaks down how anyone can get started building their long-term food storage supply without blowing the budget. She also goes through some items to keep stocked in your vehicle so you are prepared for any situation that may arise on the go. There are some brilliant things on her list that you may not have thought of! If you want to feel more prepared to take care of your family whether at home or on the run, lend an ear to Karen’s sage advice!

In this episode, we cover:
- How couponing got Karen started on her preparedness endeavor
- The preparedness grocery shopping strategy that will save you time and money
- Practical resources to help you map out your food preparedness plan
- Thinking through which staples to stock up on for long-term food storage
- What you might not think about when preparing your vehicle for everyday emergencies
- Organizing your on-the-go items in your vehicle
- Snack options to keep in your car ranging from pre-packaged to from-scratch
- How to stock your diaper bag to be prepared for anything
- Making sure you are rotating through your stocked pantry before items expire
- Planning your shopping trips so that you are always replenishing your stockpile
- Where to start with long-term food storage if you don’t have anything stored yet

Thank you to our sponsors!

Thank you Lisa, each night when hubby and I pray together, we pray about what we need to prepare besides our usual because we don’t know what’s ahead………but God does. We pray that we’d be ready to share the Gospel no matter what. You’re podcasts are always interesting and informative thanks again.

Absolutely love this! We are living in different times where we have to be prepared, as much as possible! If that makes me paranoid, I'm fine with that!

I have not finished watching, but wanted to put this in while I'm thinking of it.... we were given an unopened container of Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from a friends house whom had passed away, that expired in June of 2016. We opened it, and it seemed just fine, and have been using it the past couple months with no side effects at all. So coconut oil can be stored longer than 15 months!!😉

I really enjoyed this episode! I love Karen! I have her books and have learned so many tips from her.

[starlawalker]

Oh, you are a joy to watch! Love your honesty!!! This was a good one. Having stuff in the car is on my mind, we don’t have anything, but we should :-)

[mandylewis]

Exactly what I need encouragement in right now. Thanks Lisa

[lindsaym]

I have her book! The recipes in the back are really helpful 😊

[khorner]

Talking about lard, Homesteading Family has a helpful video talking about canning lard. I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s on my list! Ha ha

[emmaleebuzzard]

Thank you! Love this! Feeling discouraged lately and this is helpful.

[omarianno]

Interesting episode! I feel its not really helping the paranoid / overthinking part of me (especially that the pace is so fast!), but I can see how it could help people who are more careless : D

[LittleLlamaCrochet]

Great episode, it gave me a lot to think about, thank you :)

[kellenelimpert]

Hi Lisa! this has been so good!
had no idea that coconut oil ever went bad so this was very helpful! thank you🥰

[forgedbythefather]

It would be cool to see you on a podcast with Julie from Jason and Julie on Youtube!

[loriburgess]

If we can’t get to the grocery store I am imagining we won’t have electricity or gas either. I’m wondering what she has planned for that. Bulk staples are great if you are able to cook.

[jenniferknight]

Love Jammerill!! She has such a fun channel. I hope you recorded your speech and can share it?! ❤❤❤

Sweet lady, but sorry I just can’t think that way . In all of my 60 years I never ran into any scenario that I would have needed all that stuff in my vehicle. There was one lesson I learned with diaper cream, I didn’t have any in my diaper bag an my poor little baby girl cried for hours 😭No one could help me . I never went without diaper cream ever again .
