Why You Own Stuff - Preparedness & Possessions
Manage episode 404032333 series 2987301
We live in a modern, technologically enabled society that requires the ownership of physical goods to operate. The reasons we choose to acquire goods are generally within four categories - the item exists for a defined purpose (golf clubs), just in case (fire extinguisher), sentimental (Dad's picture) or we were persuaded by a version of the modern day influencer (latest gadget, fashion trends).
In preparedness there is a plethora of sources advocating for you to acquire a series of kits, bug out bags, evacuation kits, emergency kits, car kits, etc.. all with a view to separate you from your money or to reinforce the author's personal beliefs.
We recommend that any item you choose to acquire within the genre of preparedness is the result of an identified gap in the family preparedness plan you created, for your family, to meet your own expectations of readiness.
Evidence means that there is a historical record of an activity contributing to a prescribed outcome, correlation or causation.
Make sure that what you buy has a purpose, the possession is based upon evidence and not opinion.
