Going camping?
Camping and being outdoors offers many opportunities to learn and practice emergency preparedness skills. Have you ever cooked with a Dutch Oven or a Solar Oven or used other outdoor cooking options? Would you like to learn how to use them? What about how to filter drinking water? Emergency Essentials will be holding demos and trainings at their stores every Saturday through July. There are also fabulous tips on their blog.

Parenting and Provident Living
President Thomas S. Monson said,
"It is the home where fathers and mothers can teach provident living to their children. Sharing of tasks and helping one another set a pattern for future families as children grow, marry, and leave home. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest."

Why Provident Living and self-reliance?
Provident Living and self-reliance go hand in hand. Elder Robert D. Hales said, "Provident Living is preparing for the ups and downs of life." Life is a journey and sometimes our trials are the hills and sometimes the valleys -- it is never on flat terrain. If the landscape didn't change, our journey would ultimately be very boring!
Sister Julie B. Beck said, "We become self-reliant through obtaining sufficient knowledge, education, and literacy; by managing money and resources wisely, being spiritually strong, preparing for emergencies and eventualities; and by having physical and social and emotional well-being."
