Balance and Learning Together in Preparedness

We are not preparedness experts.  We are seeking information, learning new skills and enhancing others, acquiring needed items, practicing what we have learned, and trying to maintain balance along the way.  We have found wonderful information along the way, but wished for a more balanced view that more closely matched our own philosophy and lifestyle.  We hope that by sharing what we learn along the way, exploring what works for us (and what does not) and discussing various life/preparedness balance issues as we see them, we might open a discussion that will be helpful to others as well.
