Dream Packer Prepare: December 2008

When we were living in Morgan, Utah, the Bergman family (of Porterville) cut off electricity, phone, gas, water, etc and lived an entire year on their own in 1973 in a renovated old church. They quit jobs and pulled their children out of public school. In 1977, Mary published a book entitled "Survival Family--How One Family Prepared For and Lived One Year of Experimental Disaster." The next year I met Mary personally and helped her with a breastfeeding problem. (She had since had two more children, born at home.) She gave me an autographed copy of the book she wrote.

Just 4 years later in 1982, the family moved to Missouri. Shortly after their move there, Mary Bergman was tragically murdered and two of her children, shot and injured. The book she gave me disappeared shortly after we moved to Ogden. Recently, I obtained another copy and found it extremely fascinating. I will share some of highlights in this blog.

Every so often, I will add a post of an item that should be in your preparedness stash. It might be food, first aid or something else that is manifested to me. I invite your comments and suggestions. I will also be adding insights from Mary's book...as I feel inspired to.
