Preparing Deseret, one blogger at a time
Our friends over at Shelf Reliance have been expanding, and they need another person to help work on their websites. Of course, a company like theirs would be interested in the type of person that follows a prepper blog like this, so they asked me to pass this along. If the skills fit, please contact them.
Shelf Reliance is looking for an experienced programmer to work on our company’s website.
Today’s edition of the Deseret News carries a story about the subject of preparedness being on people’s minds in increased fashion.
A recent poll of New York City residents found that about half are now thinking about preparedness, compared with 18 percent who were considering it in 2004. And increasingly there are associations of and websites for so-called “preppers.”
Earthquakes and economic meltdowns have made the need more “believable,” said Emergency Essentials co-owner Don Pectol, who has seen an uptick in interest in emergency preparedness.
The problem, Pectol notes, is that money and time are both tight. While desire is higher, it might not be as easy to accomplish in this economy. And those who are not at all prepared for an emergency feel like “they’re being asked to eat an elephant.”
It’s our hope at Utah Preppers that we can make the subject of preparedness easier, more affordable, and more realistic for those who understand its importance. It’s been a slow Spring around here since we’ve all been busy, but expect things to pick up over the next few weeks and months as we share some important information on how you and your family can better be prepared for the future.
