Purpose
Having a clear plan and the right skills for worst-case scenarios can also help solve many minor problems. If we’re willing to insure replaceable items like homes and cars, how much more should we invest in ensuring our families don’t starve or die of thirst if the power goes out? Preparing for life's challenges provides peace of mind and allows you to enjoy life with loved ones, knowing you’re ready for the unexpected.

In America, we’ve become overly reliant on a functioning power grid. Based on my experience in disaster zones, a regional or nationwide power outage would result in catastrophic loss of life and societal breakdown. A leaked top-secret report estimated a 90% loss of life within the first 12 months of a grid-down situation in the U.S.

The loss of power would halt food shipments, fuel deliveries, and financial transactions, plunging society into chaos. If people fought over toilet paper in 2020, imagine the desperation when food and water are at stake.
The 2021 Texas winter storm highlighted our vulnerability. Over 240 people died, and 4 million homes lost power. The grid narrowly avoided a cascading outage by cutting power to homes, though the consequences were still devastating. In localized disasters, resources like line crews, National Guard, and police focus on one area. But if every region is impacted, help will not come.
Unprepared people often resort to desperate and violent measures. During Hurricane Katrina, for example, people shot at rescue helicopters. History demonstrates the importance of personal preparedness.
