Worldwide, and specifically in South Africa we, as the saying goes, “live in interesting times”, but this is subjective and depends on which side of the fence you sit.

With survival, in the South African context, whether it be in emergencies while out hiking, camping or just surviving the extraordinary circumstances that we find ourselves in, in our everyday lives in the RSA, we need to have a plan… we need to be prepared for unexpected emergencies. No matter what these emergencies might be, we need to be prepared.

“It is better to have prepared and never to need it than to be unprepared and be in desperate need of it”.

COMMUNITY CALL TO ACTION

Where To Start

Remember: this is an insurance policy against whatever you are prepping for. Although important, it is not the be-all and end-all. Every day life must go on. You must work, if you are privileged enough to still have a job in the essential services sector, kids must go to school if and when the lockdown is lifted etc.
