I Learned the Japanese "Rolling Stock System"
Recently, I learned of the Japanese technique for maintaining an emergency stockpile called the “Rolling Stock System.”One day, I noticed that a lot of the food I had bought and stowed away for emergencies was well past the expiration dates. What a waste!“I wish I hadn’t spent so much money on my emergency supplies,” I thought.I was determined to learn from my mistakes, so I researched the topic of emergency stockpiles, in books and on the internet. What I found was the Japanese “Rolling Stock System” for maintaining an emergency stockpile.
Minimalism is Wrong
Honestly, I was wrong to be so strict about tidying up my place, in the past. In retrospect, it seems like it was a self-indulgent effort for my own satisfaction.Minimalism? I can say, “No way!!” Especially if you have kids or a big family, you might have serious problems in an emergency situation without the necessary supplies. (I’m remembering how hard it was to get food and toilet paper during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.)Why didn’t I realize that life is not always stable, that we can not expect what nature will throw at us next?
This Blog
Our mission for this blog is to set up an emergency stockpile, the Japanese way, and to report our progress here for everyone!! My home is not big or wide, but I will use my tidy up skills to achieve success and to be ready for any emergency, anytime. This is our goal.
