Well-Equipped Family

Family Resources for a Sustainable Living Homestead, Emergency Preparedness and Wilderness Survival.

Welcome to the Well-Equipped Family! Do you ever get overwhelmed trying to equip your family for the future? There are so many aspects that demand our attention and diligence if we are to equip our families well. Does your family have basic survival skills that will allow you to thrive in any situation? What is your emergency preparedness plan if a natural or man-made disaster strikes? And if the SHTF (stuff hits the fan) does your family have the skills, equipment and experience with the homesteading arts so that you can grow and can your food or hunt or trap for it; and how about water?

Our goal is to break all this down into "bite size" nuggets that can be organized into a family equipping plan.

You will find numerous resources here, including helpful articles, products and services focused on wilderness survival, emergency preparedness and sustainable living on the homestead. Here are just a few nuggets you will find:

Under Survival we cover food, water and shelter in various climates and soon we'll have weekly tips, quizes and fun activities to do with the family that will prepare each person to thrive in the wilderness.

Under Preparedness you will have the necessary resources to know how much food to store for your family size and how to build a simple rotation system in your pantry so nothing goes to waste. We also have rainwater collection formulas and diagrams as well as solar cooking techniques.

Under Sustainable Living Homestead you will discover articles from setting up an urban backyard garden to finding land, home building, and affordable alternate energy.

Our products and external resources go into even greater depth for further study and equipping. And don't forget to sign up for The Family Equipping E-Zine to receive essential information to equip your family. Sign up on the Homestead, Preparedness or Survival pages.

And for those in our area we soon offer fun, day and weekend courses for the whole family in land navigation, wilderness survival and solar cooking to name a few.

We are adding pages almost daily. So come back to see what has changed or subscribe to our RSS/Blog to get updates automatically!
