On solo outdoors-y trips I pack twice as much food and water as I need, a rescue whistle and I inform a trusted relative before and after a remote trip who can get in touch with emergency services if I don't call back by the morning after.

At home I honestly would be screwed by an earthquake or major catastrophe... at least I have an up-to-date fire extinguisher and first aid kit in a readily accessible area.

But fire extinguishers expire 🤦‍♂️. After I got frustrated by my attempts at preparation always being expired, I discovered fire blankets (I think that’s what they’re called. Now I have them on a hook next to my stove so I can easily smother any fire …best of all, they never expire!
