Summary

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that preparing for the unexpected can make a big difference.

While not everyone has the desire to live off the grid, learning to be more self-reliant could be the difference between panic and calm. Michael Major, author of the book No Grid Survival Projects, explains how learning how to be more self-reliant in your everyday life can help prepare you for survival in a disaster. It’s not about doomsday prepping– it’s about empowering yourself and your family to be more equipped for survival in the event of the unexpected.
