Did You Know #1: Prepper Stats

Hello, It’s Martin here from Good2GoCo. We are starting to spend more time on our blog going forward. We have several members of our Good2GoCo Team and our community (those that we surround ourselves with) that are going to be contributing. The topics will vary as much as the people who write them. I hope you enjoy and benefit from the thoughts and knowledge that are presented here. As for me, I am going to start a segment called “DID YOU KNOW.” It is going to be about interesting factoids and stats surrounding our business, community, and issues we think are important. So here it goes… 

1. Did you know that according to a recent study, the survival rate of people who receive CPR is only 20%? But if you use an AED (shock the patient) that increases to 50%! 

2. 42% of adults in North America do not know an immediate family member's phone number.

3. Federal spending on disaster in the USA has increased 6,698% from 1953 – 2009.

4. Only 39% of individuals even have a basic emergency plan.

5. 44% of households do not have a first aid kit on hand.

6. The sun is 8 light minutes away from us. So, if the sun shut off life would go on as normal for 8 minutes, then the earth would be dark and would begin cooling until we froze. Likewise, if the food supply gets interrupted, life will go as normal for 8 months, and then rapidly descending into chaos.

7. Meal prepping & planning is linked to weight loss and obesity prevention. There are some incredibly positive benefits to moving towards a more prepared lifestyle when it comes to planning our daily meals. 

So, there you have a couple of interesting factoids for you to ponder. I hope you enjoy them and remember, being prepared is a lifestyle and mindset, not an event.

May God bless you and your families,

Martin
