Stereotyping, generalizing and assumptions are all mental shortcuts that can lead to biased perceptions. They involve making broad claims about individuals or groups based on limited information or preconceived notions.

Stereotypes are fixed, oversimplified beliefs about a group, while generalizations are broader statements that may or may not be accurate for every individual. Assumptions are beliefs or ideas that are taken for granted without proof. All three can lead to misunderstandings, prejudice and discrimination.

Yep, I hopped on board with prepping. I would like to say that I would love to prepare all of you for survival. Survive and thrive! (I would need much more time.) There is an abundance of information out there :) Please do your research.

In this episode I put together information from, The Urban Prepper and 511 Tactical. They are 2 of a plethora of resources out there to equip you and your loved ones for disaster, tragedy or danger. I share what you should have for the basics to survive in preparation for a 3–14-day life changing event. Totes and more totes that are filled with supplies, labeled and explained to your loved ones. *Always keep in mind that location and environment can dictate more or less of the supplies.

I also go over what you should have in your to-go bag. Some people call it a bug-out bag. It is always better to have this information/supplies and not need it then to need it and not have it Please reach out with questions at: alysonschaeferebtc@gmail.com
