I wanted to share with you my outline for personal preparedness. I will do my research and document my findings to this blog based on this outline. The 0. items are for you to do on your own, however I may contribute some wellness related articles to another blog we are talking about.

Thank You for Supporting The Esteveban Files
I'd like to start by thanking everyone for taking some time out of their day to read my posts. Your positive comments, article suggestions and engaging conversations about my blog posts has all the more motivated me to do my best to bring you worthwhile and accurate information. I actually feel a sense of responsibly and duty to maintain the blog and do my due diligence to provide you with new and accurate information on a timely basis.
Thank you!
It is with the utmost modesty that I am asking for more support. I ask that if you feel engaged by the material I'm posting please share it with your friends, family and loved ones. I truly believe in the content that I'm creating and hope that we become better prepared and educated together.
So please click the 'share', 'like', '+1', 'send in email', ... buttons on the main blog or on blog posts you enjoyed.
If you haven't noticed, I recently monetized the site with ads. My intention is not to make a living off of my blog or even supplement my income. I'm doing so because I have realized that good research involves more than just time and effort, it requires investment as well. I have purchased a number of training materials, registered for classes and seminars, as well as purchased products to review. It's starting to add up, and though I am doing this for myself and my friends and family, and now you, a little bit of help is never a bad thing.
So, I'm asking that if you use an adblock plugin on your browser, please allow ads for http://esteveban.blogspot.com/. If you see an ad that interests you, please click and review the content. I do not want you to click ads just for the sake of clicking, that's not right, so please don't do that.
I had intentions of joining the Amazon Affiliate program and linking only to items I reviewed and recommended, but due to recent Illinois State Law, Amazon has discounted the program in Illinois.
Finally, a friend suggested that I add a donation link, so I did. I suppose if you found some value in an article it would be nice to send a small donation my way. Again, that will help offset some of the costs of running this blog.
Thank you!

Preparedness / Survival Education
Since I've started this blog, I've been doing a lot of reading and research on preparedness and survival, and it's lead me to the revelation that I should share some of the resources I've come across, rather than have you wait for my post.
Get Formal Training!
First and foremost, I recommend that you get formal training. It's one thing to read something on the internet or in a book, or watch a few videos, but getting hands on experience and actually being put through a test is a whole other thing.

Flat Tire Preparedness Part 2
I had a pleasant conversation with one of my friends about my previous blog post My Flat Tire Is Your Next Lesson, and she mentioned that the rim of her "space-saver" spare tire bent under the weight of her SUV. Apparently this is not a defect, but a known design flaw that the spare tire manufacture does not freely repair or replace.
I was never aware of this issue, and was bothered that a known defective device was provided as an emergency replacement.
Given that concern let's take a look at alternatives to "space-saver" spare tires.
