PREPARE
Preparedness without fear.
THE PREPARE PATH
Equipment matters. Judgment matters more.
Real preparedness includes food, water, warmth, power, communication, and backup plans. It also means testing the equipment, noticing what fails, and changing the system before it matters.
Jo’s approach grew through off-grid travel, campground living, storms, and the small practical failures that teach more than a perfect checklist ever could.
