A lot of people are prepping themselves in case of a disaster. But, a lot of people fail to do one simple thing when they get their equipment. They may not even check it and put it away for use later on in the future. It is very important to check the equipment and make sure it works and learn how it works.

Key Takeaways:

• If you find the item is broken or just does not work, you still have a chance to return or exchange it.
• You may find you need a tool to assemble something, or extra batteries etc., that may be unavailable in a true emergency.
• Knowing how to use an item will save you time and energy in a true emergency.
