Prayer Breakfast
0700 at BJ’s Restaurant
Hamilton, Montana
O Father, the house of my soul is narrow; enlarge it that
thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous, O repair it! It dipleases thy sight; I
confess it, I know. But who shall cleanse it, or to whom shall I cry but unto
thee? Cleanse me from my secret faults, O Lord, and spare thy servant from
strange sins. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
- St.

Week
48 of 52: Essential Tools (List 4)
Throughout
the course of this preparedness series I have suggested different lists of
tools in which you should consider investing. We have touched on the basic
tools you should have to be ready for emergencies, discussed top survival
tools, and emphasized the importance of tools to build, repair and maintain our
homes and gardens in the face of damage or breakdown. Some of you may ask why
such rudimentary tools are placed at such high importance during emergencies?
Well my friends, quite simply you cannot place a timeline on how long
emergencies last and these tools will be a lifeline for you in a reality where
electricity and fuel may not be as available as it is today. Tools will help
you build, re-build and fortify your homes or property.
It
is important to have a diversified collection of tools, because, after all, you
never know when you will need one and how long you will dependent on them. For
example, my husband purchased a socket set one day at the hardware store. In
all honesty, I thought it to be a useless set that he would not get a lot of
use out of. To my disbelief I realized how wrong I was and how many uses there
are for the socket set. If you are changing wheels or fastening washers and
nuts, then you will be using a socket wrench. I stood corrected.
We
can never have enough tools in our possession. During the reconstruction phase
from the earthquake in Haiti, relief workers who responded to the disaster were
asked to bring their own tools in order to rebuild parts of Haiti. The article
was eye opening in that those simple tools that are in every one of our tool
kits were used to build emergency shelters, sanitation facilities, temporary
medical centers and even churches.
The
bottom line is that its better to have and not need, then to need and not have!
Investing in quality tools could assist in rebuilding your homes and lives more
quickly and efficiently. Take the following items into consideration, but do
not limit yourselves to what is on the list. Remember that these lists should
serve as suggestions and it is up to you to create a personalized preparedness
supply that you and your family can rely on.

Action
Items:
Rather than purchasing two of the same tools,
consider investing in spare parts for the tools such as extra blades,
sharpening tools and lubricants such as WD-40 or Vaseline.
Ensure
the tools you purchase are of good quality.
Be
mindful of your dependence on the grid and find ways to offset it.
Purchase
resources that may help you learn skills like building structures, masonry,
installing wells or creating shelters that may be needed in a long-term
disaster. (For example, an outdoor solar shower would do wonders for morale
during a long-term emergency.)
