When you are told that you cannot go anywhere for a week or longer, the first thing you may want to do is panic. (Unless you are a prepper and then you are ready for this!) However, panicking will not get you anywhere except to create more chaos and confusion. You need to be calm and focused.
If you have been around the prepping world for some time (and it doesn’t have to be a long time), you will run into various opinions and ideas on how to do a myriad of things.
