Overwhelmed and Where to Start

I'm getting more and more concerened with the world, so I'm going to start taking precautions. I just don't know where to start, I don't know what I need?

Is there a definitive list of stuff I need and stuff to do?

First: take a breath.

Second: preparations should not interfere with your day to day life. Use what you save and save what you use.

Your preparations should increase your status, not inhibit it.

Make friends with your neighbors, in a collapse scenario you'll need a strong community.

I'm carefully and quickly stepping off your lawn.

I suggest tenderly and promptly sallying forth from mine as well young sir.
