Almost done with the 2nd week of 2020 National Preparedness week – so let’s enhance your preparedness kit a little more.
As you know, this week has been dedicated to your prep kits and diving into several avenues of that works and of course ways you can enhance your kit to make you more agile/nimble…give you a better chance.
Want an easy one for today?
Utensils.
In this day of trying to find better ways to be a bit more clean (thanks COVID), we need to be more aware of our hands and the things we touch. Therefore we should act like an advanced society and really use our utensils to max capacity.
Since all of us are doing our part and eating out a bit more (hopefully more local), take a moment and utilize those plastic utensil sets for your kits. Don’t decline or throw them away, USE THEM!
Most of them come individually wrapped and often are filled with a knife, fork, spoon, napkin, salt, and pepper. In fact, the fancier ones come with a wet-nap of some sort to help clean you up a bit.
(hint wing joints usually send their to-go orders with wet naps.
Now, let’s step up to the big leagues. Check this out from my friends at Mount Prospect Emergency Management (Illinois).
Handy dandy AND reusable. Legit sturdy utensil set that all packs up nicely in a ready to go pouch.
Look closely, you can see Mount Prospect EM subscribes to the Built a Kit – Make a Plan mantra.
Look, however you want to do it, having an extra set(s) of utensils could be a lifesaver for your preparedness kit. (FYI-the Mount Prospect EM utensil set legit lives in my preparedness kit)
Heck, if you use chopsticks, that’s totes fine with me too.
So get those extra utensils in play and enhance your kit!
Reporting live from the Village of Spork…HA!
